For this yearβs project, Kyoto Animation decided to adapt Hyouka (ζ°·θ, lit: Ice Cream),Β a set of teenage light novels involving a Classic Literature Club. While the show is slightly different from what they usually do, it is rather unique on how it uses Mystery to develop the characters. In turn, it creates an enjoyable experience for various reasons.

Live Blogging – Natsuiro Kiseki OVA
Wait?! Natsuiro Kiseki has an Original Animation? Well, yes as it got handed out as part of a festival event that happened on August 29th. Since this is very short in nature, I want to experiment with something new.
Just recently, Automattic, the creators of Wordpress created their own Liveblogging Plugin that makes it easier for people to post updates on the fly. Typically, I done live commenting on Melative, but I no longer do that since I don’t have the time and nobody really uses it. Just glancing atΒ this plugin, it brought me a good idea of possibly liveblogging certain shows that I percieve difficult to blog like Nichijou. However, I will still be writing episodic posts for most of the currently airing shows. With that, I’m going to try this out with this OVA.

Tiger Moms and Eagle Dads – Strict Parenting in Anime
Just recently, something has come into my mind about how parents raise their children in Anime after watching the 8th episode of Tari Tari. With the stereotype of Asian parents wanting their children to succeed such as the Tiger Mom and Eagle Dad, some of these stereotypes are also present in Anime. This is because Asian countries typically value education a lot, which is why they tend to rank high on science and math. For that, Iβm going to explain what these terms mean with examples from various shows. (Image Source)
