Since spring is almost here, it’s time to take a look of what shows I plan to watch for the next season. From the looks of it, there is a good amount that I look forward to seeing.

As always, this list is subject to change from now until the next season starts.

Weekly Anime Impressions – Winter 2015 – Week 9 – Shirobako and Dog Days Double Dash

This week has been bad (not only traffic noticeably dropped in the past few days, but also in real life) as the Job Search appears more difficult than I thought. While it’s easy to relate to Shizuka for the fact that she still haven’t received a voice acting role and got rejected many times, she hasn’t given up. I shouldn’t let this setback bother me too much considering that others have it a lot worse. Eventually, it will come.

Now that I vented my disappointment out, it’s time to focus on this week’s Anime impressions…

Japanese Language and Kanji – How Exactly do you Learn Them?

March 3, 2015 by Chikorita157 3 Comments

Throughout my 3 years of teaching myself Japanese, I have learned quite a lot. To me, the grammar and vocabulary was not the difficult part since I am used to the subject-object-word sentence structure from studying Latin in High School. So far, I can understand most of what they are saying providing that I have a Japanese-English dictionary by my side.

For most people, the Kanji or rather Chinese Characters tends to be the hardest part of the Japanese language since it uses logographic characters (in addition to Kana) opposed to the traditional roman characters. People might be asking: why do we need it when we have ひらがな and カタカナ? I will answer that question along with sharing strategies I currently use to understand them.

Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica The Battle Pentagram – Final Review

March 1, 2015 by Chikorita157 3 Comments

Artist: にちか

Back in 2011, Madoka Magica took the magical girl genre by storm as they deconstructed the whole genre by making it dark and filled with drama. As expected, the show received so much critical acclaim that it eventually received three featured length movies, a bunch of manga spinoffs and even a licensed video game, both were made by Bandai Namco. Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica The Battle Pentagram is a sequel to the first portable game, which swaps the rogue-like dungeon crawling for a hack and slash gameplay on the PlayStation Vita.

Warning: Contains some spoilers from the Anime and movies.

The 5th squadron successfully carried out their mission despite Shoukaku getting severely damaged in the process. Thankfully, there is a tropical paradise nearby that has a base managed by another ship girl named Yamato.

Why are people against Anime?

In the past, I have shared my thoughts on why people get bullied or fans get labeled as an otaku or a nerd just because he/she enjoys Anime. However, I have never gone through the reasons why some people are against Anime despite its popularity in the west ranging from the stigma surrounding 2D animation, different cultural/political views and being introduced to the wrong shows that give one a bad initial impression.

If you didn’t know, today is Maekawa Miku’s birthday, which lands on “Cat Day” in Japan since two in Japanese almost sound like a cat when said consecutively. Yep, I just learned something new…
