The iDOLM@STER – Episode 20 – Thank You for the Memories (ããã㧠ã ããããĻã)

Weekly Anime Rankings & Digest â November 7-13
First off, I apologize for making a statement (including the complaints on Twitter) in the last post that wasnât called for and got scalded for in the past. I admit that I have gone through a rough weekend regarding some stress in the family regarding an illness along with someone crashing into my motherâs car while making an illegal U-turn. Therefore, I wasnât in my state of mind. Going forwards, I will not complain about it in the future if it happens again (everyone should heed this warning, especially those who complained about it on Anime Suki Forums).
Aside from that, the stuff that happened last week was exciting despite Ika Musume Second Season not airing. (Image Source)

Working!! Second Season – Episode 6 – Souta Becomes a Jerk
I have to admit that I was quite annoyed this week since I couldnât watch anything. Therefore, I did not have anything to blog about for the past two days. Apparently, a particular video game called The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim released yesterday and it has ruined everything through mass delays of subs. Letâs get our pitchforks and torches so we, the 99% of the anime bloggers can shred that game into piecesâĶ
Just kidding because Working Second Season Episode 6 relived some of that rage that I have pent-up inside myself.

Weekly Anime Ratings & Digest – October 31st – November 6th
Miraculously, our power finally returned on Monday after I spent two nights sitting in a cold, dark room. Thankfully, there were no trick-or-treaters this year, so we didnât have to go through the annoyance of the doorbell ringing every minute and having to pass out candy.
Aside from that, Ika Musume finally comes back from hiatus to make our day brighter along with Ritsukoâs comeback as an idol. Fate/zero on the other hand, it was somewhat disappointing, but still remains strong show. In addition to this, I will share this yearâs pick for the Aniblogger Secret Santa project. (Image Source)

Weekly Anime Rankings & Digest – October 24-30
Tomorrow is Halloween. So, this weeks picture fits the mood with Makoto and Hibiki wearing the âMy Dear Vampireâ outfit from The iDOLM@STER 2. On a side note, the PlayStation 3 version of the game came out last Thursday in Japan. Hopefully Iâll get a copy to play around at years end.
Despite the lack of Ika Musume 2 and a snowstorm that hit the Northeast, which knocked out our power for over 24 hours, this weekâs Anime had very exciting developments. Makoto finally gets some time in the spotlight along with Iskanderâs/Riderâs epic attack against Berserker. Â (Image Source)

Weekly Anime Rankings & Digest – October 17-23
What is this? Are you doing weekly digests now?
Considering that Iâm now taking part in the Anime Power Rankings, the answer is yes. A fellow Animeblogger named kevo runs these rankings to see how the currently airing shows are doing at a particular week. Given that I want to share my reasoning behind these votes and possibly add brief thoughts of episodes from older seasons that arenât part of the rankings, I decided on doing it. This is how itâs going to work:
- I will concentrate on the shows that I have voted on the rankings first. This means the shows Iâm up to date on are eligible for this. Sub availability plays a key role in this. Once I know enough Japanese, this will go a lot smoother as I can just jump right in and then re-watch the subs later while having a sufficient understanding of what I watched.
- Second part will focus on unranked shows. These are shows that Iâm currently behind in because of uncontrollable circumstances.
- If there is any, the last part only focuses on episodes from shows of other seasons. They wonât be part of any ranking whatsoever.
- Lastly, this is not a replacement for episodic posts. It’s meant to recap what I watched during the week.
So, letâs get started, shall we? (Image Source used in this post)

Nichijou – Final Review
In the past, Kyoto Animation has made a few notable slice of life shows involving a bunch of schoolgirls. Particularly, Lucky Star and K-ON is their most popular works in the genre. With the production of Nichijou, it takes a slightly different take of the genre opposed to gradual character development and references from the Otaku subculture. Instead, it focuses mostly on slapstick comedy sketches that place characters in wacky situations.
