What Makes a “Good” Anime?

April 9, 2012 by Chikorita157 9 Comments

In a perfect world, most fans would enjoy all the anime that gets produced. Sadly, this isn’t the case since we do not know what the show will give us until we watch it. This leaves us with the usual remark, “It gets better, I swear” which is frequently used as a defense. I’m a firm believer of that because any show can have a potential of becoming good. This leaves us with the question, what exactly makes a good anime? I will explain just that along with my experiences.

Gilgamesh takes the whole situation as a walk in the park...

It has been a long time, but Fate/zero hits us with an exciting episode for the second half. With that, this leaves us with the servants duking it out against Caster while Karia and Tokiomi has a confrontation over giving up Sakura.

A Channel + Smile (OVA) – Episode 1 – The Mountain of Pancakes

Teacher looks great...

After witnessing a disappointment from the first episode of Natsuiro Kiseki, I had to wash the bad taste from my mouth. With that, I decided to watch the first A Channel + Smile OVA, which focuses on a different set of stories compared to the main series that aired last spring.

Let’s Check Out – Natsuiro Kiseki – Episode 1

April 6, 2012 by Chikorita157 4 Comments
Let this snapshot set the mood for this episode.

If you read some of my contributions on Anime Instrumentality Blog, it’s a known fact that I am a fan of Sphere because the girls can sing great (with Toyosaki Aki being an exception). Now, they are creating an original anime called Natsuiro Kiseki, which means Summer Color Miracle in Japanese. Since it combine one of my favorite group of singers with one of the best animation studios, Sunrise who recently produced Daily Lives Of High School Boys, what could go wrong?

Tantei Opera Milky Holmes Second Season – Final Review

April 5, 2012 by Chikorita157 1 Comment

Ever since the airing of Tantei Opera Milky Holmes in the fall of 2010, I never expected it to become the most entertaining comedies of the season. When a sequel got announced last year, I naturally got excited since I wanted to see more hysterical moments between Milky Holmes, the Genius 4 and Gentleman Thieves.  As you expect, it’s the same show that we come to love, but taken to the next level.

Amagami SS Plus – Final Review

April 4, 2012 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment

In the summer of 2010 when I was on vacation, I had some urge to watch Amagami SS, which is an adaption based off a romance visual novel by Enterbrain, which only got a Japanese release. While Haruka’s, Karou’s and Tsukasa’s arcs were good, the others just disappointed me, Rihoko especially since the writer decided to become a jerk-ass and Friendzoned her! That conclusion just ruined it for me, which is one of the reasons I never finished the first season until days before the sequel airing.

Amagami SS Plus is a continuation of the girls’ arcs from the first season. Will Junichi live up to his interactions with them? Let’s find out, shall we? (Image Source)

Anime Blogging and Longevity – The Challenges Ahead

April 3, 2012 by Chikorita157 11 Comments

I want share some thoughts about Anime Blogosphere’s longevity since this post sparked my interest. Ever since the first Aniblog Tourney finished in 2010, good amount of blogs have died at the 1 to 2-year mark while new ones pop up. Only a handful ever passed the three years and beyond mark. There are many factors I have explained such as time management issues. However, there are other aspects that I haven’t covered, which I like to share. (Image Source)
