Green Bracket Blog Critiquing – Part 2 & 3 out of 4

April 19, 2012 by Chikorita157 4 Comments

From the feedback I have received, I will not give blogs a grade nor focus too much on grammatical or spelling errors.  Instead, I will place all my attention on the overall content and design. If the content sounds rough or awkward overall, I will indicate it in my suggestion that he/she should work more on their writing. Even with the changes I made, I will not tell anyone who I voted for.

Since I fell behind yesterday, I decided to combine parts 2 and 3 together. If you are the author of these blogs, please take the criticism with a grain of salt.

Chikorita Cast – Episode 1 – Aniblogosphere Tourney Recap

April 18, 2012 by Chikorita157 10 Comments

Well, this marks the first episode of my new podcast, which will focus on various topics regarding to Anime and the fandom. For now, it will work on an infrequent basis since it takes time to edit and record (future episodes will be audio only).If anyone is interested in joining for one of the episodes, I’ll be happy to do so. Just contact me.

In this episode, I will talk about my results from the Anime Blog Tourney while I record myself through the camera. Of course, the results surprised many, including myself, but not a big deal.

Since most people mistaken me as a male tsundere, I decided to introduce myself a bit more. I explain my background and such. So, I hope you enjoy and feel free to talk about it! Also, I wish good luck to the other participants in the tourney. I should have the other critiques for the Green Bracket by the end of this week.

Excuse my coarse voice… I just came home. (Image Source)

Green Bracket Blog Critiquing – Part 1 out of 4

April 17, 2012 by Chikorita157 10 Comments


As promised, I will critique people’s blogs so people can improve their blogs for the future, regardless if they win or not. As stated in my list of criteria in the inaugural post, I’m basing my grading on that. For blog owners, I will write a few suggestions and my overall impressions. They will get published after all the blogs in the bracket had their polls opened.

For the first one, I will give criticism to the first quarter of the Green Bracket. If you are the author of these blogs, please take it with a grain of salt as these are my opinions and they aren’t meant to offend you.

In Response to the Mudslinging by Draggle

April 16, 2012 by Chikorita157 16 Comments

Notice: I never intended to make this serious and I might have took it the wrong way. Of course, the tournament is meant to give more blogs exposure and get constructive criticism. So no offense is intended on both sides and this is just a joke.
With that over, the constructive criticism for all the blogs I have checked out will get posted on Wednesday at 4 PM EDT. So enjoy the e-drama for now.


Yeah, I definitely saw the post you made and I’m very disappointed in you. It’s one thing to become competitive. However ruining my reputation is one of the things I will not allow you to do. Don’t pretend I didn’t notice because I have trackbacks coming in for my posts and I’m watching your updates on twitter!

In the end, I predict that I will have a comeback because cheating is bad and I believe in Karma… Don’t be like the Republican candidates and play fair.

If you against this mudslinging, vote for the deserving underdog in the Aniblog Tourney!

Papa Kiki, Clannad and Family – A Worthwhile Commitment

April 16, 2012 by Chikorita157 6 Comments

After watching 8 episodes of Papa no Iukoto o Kikinasai, there was something that really got me thinking. Although many dissed the show as something perverted, the drama in the 8 episodes I watched proved that raising a family is a difficult task and reminding me of Clannad, which had similar themes. Despite the difficulties the fathers faced in both shows, they continued because its worthwhile experience. (Image Source)

Support Us in the 2nd AniBlog Tourney!

April 16, 2012 by Chikorita157 6 Comments

いらっしゃませ!(Welcome to my blog!)

During the first Aniblog Tourney, I experienced a close loss in the first round. Since then, I have learned from my mistakes by improving my content and interacted with more people. Now, the second Aniblog Tourney is about to begin and we are up against Draggle’s Anime Blog.

As most say, quality is always better than quantity. With that, I have been working hard on writing more posts outside the realm of episodic posts. So, check out my opinion pieces that I have handpicked (you can see more in the Editorials category) and feel free to comment on them if you have any thoughts before you vote… (unhide the spoiler to see the recommended posts)

Spoiler InsideSelectShow

  • Anime and the Perception in the West – An important topic on why the west is obsessed with violence while the East focuses more on cuteness and nostalgia.
  • Valentines Day Special – My Favorite Idols – A brief explanation on my favorite idols from The Idolmaster.
  • Anime and Video Gaming: How they changed everything… – Gaming and Anime Adaptations are sometimes related, so why not write about it?
  • Brief Thoughts about the US Anime Industry and Anime Collection – My thoughts on the US Anime Industry in the past year. Also, I share my Anime collection.

  • Iyashikei, The Art of Friendship, Escapism and Healing – If you wondering why Aria is so relaxing, this is the reason.

  • Thoughts about Bill 156 and Why the Law is Censoring like it’s 1984. – My thoughts about the Nonexistent Youth Bill and why it’s a horrible idea.
  • Moe and an Argument against Genre Elitist – Much more than just Cuteness – An argument against elitism and their hatred of moe. Also, it serves as my defense for the genre by explaining why it’s more than just “cute girls doing cute things.”
  • Ore no Imouto – Eroge or Why there shouldn’t be a double standard on Violent Games and Eroge – An argument against the double standard with eroge and violent video games since both doesn’t necessarily harm people.


In addition to editorials, I have also focused on other features such as:

  • Homura-chan’s Pokemon Adventure – Although I have never finished the final part, I shared my experiences while playing Pokémon White.
  • Idolm@ster 2 Let’s Play – Video “Let’s Play” of everyone’s favorite idol producing game.

(Update 1:also, ignore the nonsense that Draggle is spreading about me… he is just having some fun. :p)

(Update 2: Cheating is bad, so please vote for integrity and content quality, not the libel he wrote about me.)

(Update 3: We playing around, so don’t take any of our mischief seriously)

(Note: This post will remain stickied until the poll’s closure.)
