More on Region Locking – Why this practice needs to be abolished.

July 26, 2013 by Chikorita157 8 Comments

Artist: neki (wakiko)

In an editorial several months ago, I criticized briefly on region locking on streams. This month, Ryu Shoji from Bulbanews wrote a good editorial on why Nintendo should go region free after Microsoft changed their DRM policy, effectively abolishing region locks. Considering that licensed Anime and streams is region locked and most Anime fans play video games, I think this will be a great topic to talk about since I am against region locking for various reasons.

The Life Lessons I Learned From Watching Anime

July 23, 2013 by Chikorita157 2 Comments

Back in February, I shared my thoughts on why I continued to watch Anime. Still, the special thing about Anime is its ability to cover a wide range of topics and in some instances, show the little things in life. It makes me wonder, how does Anime presents this? (Image Source)

Overused Character Archetypes and Clichés – Are they making Anime Unoriginal?

July 15, 2013 by Chikorita157 9 Comments

Artist: weee (raemz)

One of the things that some fans complain about Anime is how similar the characters are. It’s true that there is an array of archetypes you can use to describe a character, but is this a reasonable complaint? (Image Source)

Hyperdimension Neptunia the Animation – Episode 1 – What it means to be a Goddess

I wish I can play video games all they long, but can't. :p
I wish I can play video games all they long, but can’t. :p

For a long time, video games played a big part of my life because of the escapist element coupled with interaction. Of course, somebody came up with a brilliant idea to make a video game personifying the console wars such as the battle between the big three (Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft) or the one that happened in the 90s between the Super Nintendo and the Sega Genesis.

Now, these consoles are personified as cute girls in a video game titled Hyperdimension Neptunia, which is made by Compile Heart and Idea Factory. While Idea Factory has a bad reputation for making not so good games (although Monster Monpiece was enjoyable), at least their installments to their franchise improved on their gameplay and story. From that, we have the Anime, which everyone waited for.
