The thoughts, reviews and analysis of Comedy, Romance, Drama and Slice of Life Anime of a College Student
Shows that will be completed in the near future.
Now that summer has just started, imagine that you are on an airplane. Somehow, it crashes, but you managed to survive. There are other three girls who managed to survive as well. Yes, it’s a nightmare scenario that nobody wants to be in. Sadly, four unfortunate girls have to.
…
Now that the first episodes for all the winter shows has finally aired, it’s time to share my impressions for rest of the shows I decided to watch.
…
After finishing the first season of Tamayura Hitotose and watching a few episodes of the sequel, it showed the little things of life as Sawatari Fu becomes interested into photography. While watching the show, I felt that photography has something special for the fact that photos can capture special moments in life along with having the power to change someone’s life.

…
As Fuu becomes “more aggressive” by creating a Photography Club, the winner of the photography contest makes her somewhat nervous.
…
From the last season, we saw the girls enjoying each other as they make memories and most importantly, show their passion for the things that they enjoy doing. Now, Fuu wants to take it to another level, hence being “more aggressive.”
…
Nearly three years ago, the makers of Aria made an original animation adaptation of another Iyasashikei Anime called Tamayura. Although it was short, it had a very light-hearted feeling as the girls focus on their hobbies and of course, making and capturing memories.
A year later, this show finally got a full season, which introduced a few more characters and developed the existing ones further. But, will this be a second coming of Aria?

Unless you are living under the rock, a fellow blogger named zzeroparticle who runs the Anime Instrumentality Blog has created the first tournament for Anime Music. If you like listening to Anime Music like I do, go ahead and nominate your favorite songs. But in this post, I’m going to discuss the top ten songs I nominated. As always, my picks are subjective so you don’t have to agree with them.
So, what criteria did I use for my nomination ballot? First, I only considered opening, insert songs and ending themes for shows I have watched and listened. Second, I also factor in how good the song sounds along with how memorable and enjoyable the song for my nominations. While my choices are biased for recent Anime, hopefully you won’t judge me.
With that, I will share the top 5 picks I nominated for the tournament first with some arrangements on the piano. (Image Source)

Several weeks ago, Kai shared his thoughts about the anime he put on his backlog. During my anime blogging career, I have picked up shows and on some occasions, get pushed to the backlog. There are many reasons I end up doing this, which I will share along with some notable Anime I backlogged. (Image Source)

Once upon a time, Draggle offered me to join this live watch of Simoun shortly after my defeat in the Aniblog Tourney. Of course, I was busy with a lot of projects and finals for the Spring Semester until now. I decided to take a look at the first two episodes and what I have seen amazed me. (Image Source)

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).

Tomorrow is Halloween. So, this weeks picture fits the mood with Makoto and Hibiki wearing the “My Dear Vampire” outfit from The iDOLM@STER 2. On a side note, the PlayStation 3 version of the game came out last Thursday in Japan. Hopefully I’ll 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 week’s Anime had very exciting developments. Makoto finally gets some time in the spotlight along with Iskander’s/Rider’s epic attack against Berserker. (Image Source)
Note: The Fate/zero Episode 5 post is delayed until tomorrow, unless the power comes back on tonight.

Norie faces a fierce desert making competition against Komachi over winning Kou’s heart. Who is going to win? You just have to wait and see…

What is this? Are you doing weekly digests now?
Considering that I’m 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 aren’t part of the rankings, I decided on doing it. This is how it’s going to work:
So, let’s get started, shall we? (Image Source used in this post)
…
Aside the long delays in getting these subs, it seems that we have leaped forward with the girls having a sleepover. Essentially, you should had already watched the OVAs before watching the series or you will miss out on the nice developments during Fuu’s first month living in the town.
…
Back in 2010 when the 4 episode Tamayura OVAs aired, the story felt somewhat incomplete from the lack of development of the other characters. Despite being short, the heartwarming feeling through its lighthearted story and gorgeous setting made the story really enjoyable.
With the first episode of Tamayura ~hitotose~, it retains the same aspects of the OVAs and expands on how Fuu got inspired to become a photographer and ultimately deciding to move back to the town of her childhood.
…
At the last half of the story, we get to see Fuu and her friends searching for the spot where her father took that special picture. Through the help of Sayomi, whose driving skills is very dubious, she made this adventure possible.
…
Before the Fall Anime Season begins, I decided to take a look at Tamayura, which is a four episode long OVA involving four girls. Of course, I always tend to like these shows because the nostalgia, lighthearted story and of course, friendship.

Things get problematic as the situation between Shinchiro and everyone else gets tense. In short, poo has definitely hit the fan.
…
From Jun’s surprising request to have Shinichiro to go out with his sister, it seems like he doesn’t understand why. When he intervenes in Hiromi’s love life, well things get ugly rather quickly.
…
Subsequently after the kidnapping of Rhiannon and her return, the Gaels become increasingly concerned about the growing threat from the Empire. Eventually, they decide to do what’s best… Attempt to forge an alliance with another clan.
…
For those in the United States, I hope everyone had a nice Labor Day and the last unofficial days of summer vacation. For me, I had some fun with my parents and sister as we went to Atlantic City to go dolphin watching and look at the ridiculously small aquarium. Afterwards, we went out to dinner, stay at a hotel and went home today. Although short, it was pretty fun.
On the other hand, Akari sets out on an adventure with Woody to send an old letter from a young girl that she made a promise with.
…
While Rhiannon lays down a flower ring for the deceased Rubrum soldiers, she finds herself getting kidnapped by Gaius. The resulting reaction from the Gaels was obvious…
…
Since there is a recent shortage of iDOLM@STER subs, I decide to dive deeper into my backlog. I realized that I haven’t gotten too far in Aria the Animation since I only watched the first two episodes. Of course, Episode 3 brought back the charm and happiness of the series with another young, but cute girl being introduced to the story.
…
Shinichiro becomes dismayed over Hiromi’s revealing of her crush on Noe’s brother, Jun. This causes him to avoid her until a certain someone tries to cheer him up.
