Lapis Re:Lights – Episode 3 – A Lover’s Quarrel and The Heated Bumper Ball Tournament

July 18, 2020 by Chikorita157 3 Comments
I wonder what upsets Lavie.

In the attempt to make up for lost ground last time, Tiara and her friends joins forces with Melissa, Lily and Coco play in a bump ball tournament. However, something happened with Ashley and Lavie that they aren’t getting along. I wonder why.

Shoujo Kageki Revue Starlight – Episodes 1-3 – Karen Joins the Fight For Brilliance

July 17, 2020 by Chikorita157 3 Comments
Karen finally prepared for school.

Back in 2018 when it aired, I haven’t had the chance to watch Revue Starlight. This is mostly because I didn’t have a Hidive subscription. However, I did play the mobile gacha game for at least for several months when it came out last year. That is without knowing what happened in the anime.

Since I have a good amount of free time before the onslaught of fall anime, I think it’s the best time to well, watch it.

22/7 (Nanabun no Nijyuuni) – Final Review

July 12, 2020 by Chikorita157 3 Comments
Artist: かいす

I have seen quite a good number of idol anime in the past. Yes, this includes Idolmaster, Love Live, the 1-hour prequel for Wake Up Girls, Ongaku Shoujo and Re:stage Dream Days. While there is some drama, a producer or the girls working together manages the aspects of the group such as costumes, music, and other aspects.

Sure, there is some drama, but there are also some funny, heartwarming moments as well. Also, the girls in the idol unit usually get along with each other through strong teamwork. Of course, there are the yuri pairings as well.

22/7 (Nanabun No Nijyuuni) is like your typical idol anime, but different in a way. It’s a media project where they picked 11 girls out of about 10,000 applicants. The chosen ones portray their respective character in real life and in animation. Yes, the concept of this project is that the idols themselves transcends dimensions between the real and animated world. As expected, I surprisingly enjoyed this show for various reasons.

Lapis Re:Lights – Episode 2 – Rosetta’s Secret Part Time Jobs

July 11, 2020 by Chikorita157 1 Comment
I have to admit that Rosetta looks adorable when she is asleep.

Tiara found out that she is joining a group that is about to face expulsion. That is if they don’t receive a passing grade next semester. While Tiara shows her determination, staging a turnaround looks a lot harder than it seems.

Jun making an escape in style.

From last time, it seems that everyone collapsed except Jun after eating something. Also, we see the origins of Akane along with the big preparation for the 1-year anniversary live performance.

Tiara finally arrives at the city to attend a magic academy, Flora Girls’ Academy. From there, she meets an old friend. I wonder who it is.

It’s obvious that Sakura loves her grandmother.

Now with Miu’s shyness out of the way, I know everyone is anticipating that beach episode. Of course, we learn about some things that Sakura is hiding about.

What Is on My Mind – July 2020 – Blogging Motivation, Japanese Animator Salary Woes, Magia Record English Anniversary and More

Now that the month is coming to the end now that summer officially begun, it’s time to share what I have on my mind. Also, I also will share some thoughts on posts and anime-related news that I find interesting throughout the month.

Yes, I know that this post is early, but I will be away during 4th July weekend to visit my parents after being stuck mostly at home for months.

22/7 (Nanabun no Nijyuuni) – Episodes 1-3 – The Letter that Changed Miu’s Life

June 25, 2020 by Chikorita157 3 Comments
It’s obvious that Miu is very shy and introverted. However, that is about to change.

Believe it or not, I enjoy watching idol anime because well, who doesn’t like cute girls singing and dancing to songs? I do mostly because there is a lot of good coming of age moments and team building. While I covered quite a lot of idol anime throughout the year, I want to change up the pace a bit.

Yes, I want to get away from the Manga Time Kirara adaptations for a bit to cover another idol anime, 22/7, also known as Nanabun no Nijyuuni. What is intriguing is that the concept of this project about “idols that transcends dimensions.” In other words, voice actresses portray their character in animation and real life. The group released CDs before the anime’s premiere, in the same way as Ongaku Shoujo.

Hidamari Sketch – Final Review

June 21, 2020 by Chikorita157 3 Comments
Artist: percy_pyl

It’s no surprise that these days, I tend to enjoy the usual slice of life anime with a mostly, if not all female cast. Perhaps one of the most known school-girl slice of life story that publishes in the Manga Time Kirara Carat is Hidamari Sketch. It’s not too surprising since this is the first title out of many published in the Manga Time Kirara that received an anime adaptation.

If you take a first glance of the show’s poster image or one of the volumes of the manga, this might remind you of another show, Madoka Magica. The person behind these character designs is Aoki Ume. She is a mangaka known for creating cute character designs.

While Hidamari Sketch is one of her well known works, she also created character designs for Madoka Magica including some characters in Magia Record, and the main character for Kirara Fantasia, Kirara. If you didn’t know, Kaname Madoka is basically based on Yuno. Of Shaft both animated Hidamari Sketch and Madoka Magica. As expected, I enjoyed the first season quite a lot since it has a lot of funny and cute moments.
