Kokoro Connect – Episode 7 – Outbursts and Fear

August 19, 2012 by Chikorita157 4 Comments
Why he won’t wake up?

It seems that the “unleashing of desires” is not making things any better.

Shining Hearts ~Shiawase no Pan~ – Final Review

August 15, 2012 by Chikorita157 6 Comments

Being a fan of Japanese RPGs, I always find these adaptations rather interesting because of the setting and the characters. Shining Hearts is a Japanese RPG made by Sega that is part of the Shining Series that received a Japan only release. Since it’s an RPG adaption, I thought it had potential. Sadly, it kind of fell on its face for being an over glorified commercial promoting bread and happiness. Its kind of disappointing if you think about it since the actual game (which I’m ironically playing at the moment) is much more than just baking bread. I think there are several reasons why the show is a let down, although it’s not terrible by any means. (Image Source)

Dog Days and the Power of Escapism in Anime

August 4, 2012 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment


While watching Dog Days, something came into my mind for another topic to write about from Anime regarding escapism. Although I analyzed Iyashikei’s escapism along with friendship and healing last far, of course adventure/fantasy shows such as the one I have mentioned and Sword Art Online has many elements of escapism though it’s setting, characters and their abilities. I’m just fascinated how they accomplish this aspect for these genres in general, which want me analyze them and share some thoughts about it focusing on a fantasy world called Flonyard.
