What makes a “So Bad It’s Good?” and Ridiculous Anime Enjoyable to watch?

I have been wondering for a while why people tend to enjoy shows that are either have a ridiculous premise or ones that it can be considered as “so bad it’s good.” While I have shared my thoughts about bad anime, I wonder what qualities make a show so bad it’s good.

The Art of Making Anime from Video Games

September 28, 2013 by Chikorita157 2 Comments

Artist: kinta

In a post that Kai as posted this week about how video game is adapted into a show. While I have shared my thoughts about anime adaptations and challenges involved with it, video game adaptations are a different story as the experience is not static. As adaptations of video games (excluding visual novels) become more popular as seen adaptations of The Idolmaster, Persona 4 and Neptunia, how do they achieve this while making it enjoyable?

The Best and Worst of 2012 Anime

December 29, 2012 by Chikorita157 6 Comments

Artist: naruse

As 2012 finally comes to an end, I felt that this year is rather subdued for Anime. Although there were some Anime that received some rave reviews that I didn’t watch, I was still satisfied by what I have already watched. Not only that, I only dropped one show this year compared to two in 2011. Still, there were some disappointments, which I want to go over.

For now, I will list my top whatever lists of best Anime in 2012 along with some disappointing/worst ones. (Image Source)

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)

The Forgotten Spring Finales – Mouretsu Pirates and Shining Hearts

July 11, 2012 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment

Fate/zero and Natsuiro Kiseki may have brought us great finales, but there were other shows that I completely forgot about until now. These are the last episodes of Shining Hearts ~Shiawase no Pan~ and Mouretsu Pirates. Instead of writing two separate posts, I’ll just share my brief thoughts about these episodes and my overall impressions about each one. (Image Source)

While a fight goes on, Rick makes bread… What the heck Rick?!

I’m confused. Is Rick going to fight or return to baking bread while other people fight?

At least Xiao-Mei is doing some good...

“Why you bake bread every day is more of a mystery to me.”

That is the best line in the show since the bread craze is making me insane!

In memory of Shirley (and all the other women Urobuchi killed off)
