Twelve Days of Anime – Part II (Days 7-12)

December 24, 2011 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment


アニメの12日 – 二部

Today is the day before Christmas and to celebrate it, I’m looking back at the reminder of the moments in this year’s Anime that made it awesome. This includes Croisee, Ano Hana, Fate/zero, Idolmaster, Hourou Musuko and Madoka Magica.

If you don’t know what this project is all about, I highly suggest checking out the prelude (Image Source).

Hourou Musuko – Episode 12 (END)

Just like old times...

It may have been several weeks after I finished Hourou Musuko Episode 12, but the show was so amazing that I want to share my thoughts on the last episode and the series as a whole.

Hourou Musuko – Episode 10+11 (Better Half) – Brief Thoughts

March 27, 2011 by Chikorita157 2 Comments
Society is just... harsh.

If you recall the last episode of Hourou Musuko, the reactions from other students are unfortunate and expected. As I mentioned in my editorial, society has a double standard when it comes to crossdressing. This resulted in unwanted attention when Nitori decides to dress as a girl for school.

Hourou Musuko – Innocence, Acceptance and Betrayal… (Editorial)

March 23, 2011 by Chikorita157 2 Comments


Preface: Hourou Musuko besides Madoka Magica has been one of few shows out of the winter season, which are considered very good. The reason why I have not blogged much about this show since the content in the episodes is hard to explain in episodic posts. So, I thought it would be best to share my thoughts on the events that were important in editorial form.


In the most recent episodes of Hourou Musuko, the story focuses more on the issues Nitori faces in his life that wants to be a girl.  Since he is delicate, anything that happens to him will impact him emotionally. This happens when Dori urges him to come out of the closet that causes the whole student body to become shocked. In addition, the play and Anna plays an important role of adding self-confidence for Nitori’s transgenderism.

Winter 2011 Midseason Impressions

February 21, 2011 by Chikorita157 4 Comments

With the middle of the Winter Anime Season upon us, the season was mixed. There are some really great shows that I really enjoyed like Madoka Magica and Hourou Musuko. On the other hand, Gosick and Fractale left me with a weird feeling with the way the show is heading. (Image Source)

Winter 2011 Anime Season Taste Test Score Card

January 24, 2011 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment


Since the taste testing of the Winter 2011 Anime is coming to an end, the winter season is actually decent. Out of the 15 of so series that were airing, I decided to watch Madoka, Gosick and Hourou Musuko. In addition, I also tried out Rio: Rainbow Gate, but it didn’t turn out that great. (Image Source)

Taste Test Part II – Hourou Musuko

January 23, 2011 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment
By the looks of this girl, she is pretty upset.

In the last episode of Hourou Musuko, we are introduced to Nitori and Takatsuki, which entered middle school. They have gender identity issues, which results in wearing clothes of the opposite gender. The first episode primarily focused on Nitori, a male crosdresser that felt accepted by people in the past. Unfortunately, things don’t stay the same since his sister bullies him when he crossdressed and everyone thinks that he’s sick. In this episode, the focus is on Takatsuki and her friends… in particular on Chiba Saori, which feels seemingly upset.

Taste Test Part I – Hourou Musuko (Wandering Son)

January 16, 2011 by Chikorita157 7 Comments
Unfortunately, things can't stay the same forever...

In some shows, most notably Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu, they use crossdressing as comedy. This mostly involves a male dressing as a female to make it really difficult to tell the real gender of the person. However, in Hourou Musuko (aka Wandering Son), the show takes a more serious and realistic approach. They focus on the issues of transgender people similar to what transgendered people faces and growing up through two people, Nitori and Takatsuki.
