Taste Test Part I – Hourou Musuko (Wandering Son)

January 16, 2011 by Chikorita157 7 Comments
Unfortunately, things can't stay the same forever...

In some shows, most notably Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu, they use crossdressing as comedy. This mostly involves a male dressing as a female to make it really difficult to tell the real gender of the person. However, in Hourou Musuko (aka Wandering Son), the show takes a more serious and realistic approach. They focus on the issues of transgender people similar to what transgendered people faces and growing up through two people, Nitori and Takatsuki.

Taste Test Part II – Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica

January 14, 2011 by Chikorita157 1 Comment
Madoka is so obsessed of becoming one so quickly...

In the last episode, Mami saved Madoka and Sayaka from the bizarre world. After Madoka saved Kyubei, the magical ferret, it chose her and Sayaka to risk their lives to become magical girls so they can have their wish granted.  In addition, the girls learn more about the magical girls, witches and their rivalry with Homura.

Taste Test Part I-II – Rio: Rainbow Gate! (SCCSAV Livewatch)

January 12, 2011 by Chikorita157 6 Comments
This is probably one of the cutest ferrets I seen that is not in a Magical Girl show...

Many people in the blogosphere have been talking about Rio: Rainbow Gate, one of the shows some consider to be “so bad it’s good”. Do I agree with them? Not really since I watched the show with Roghek from the SCCSAV over Skype. Overall, my impressions about the show went south. The show was so bad it was terrible because there are so many fundamental problems with it, which I want to share.

Just to be clear, I am criticizing the show based on the two episodes I have seen, not bashing it.

Tantei Opera Milky Holmes – Final Review

January 12, 2011 by Chikorita157 4 Comments


Tantei Opera Milky Holmes is probably one of the most unexpected gems in the Fall 2010 season.  While the first episode gave me a mediocre impression, it only got better with every episode. On top of that, you have these wacky heroes that do really funny cute things. In addition, you got the absolutely hilarious villains, especially Twenty who can’t keep off his shirt. Besides from that, I want to share my thoughts about Milky Holmes as a complete season. (Image Source)

Taste Test Part I – Gosick

January 11, 2011 by Chikorita157 2 Comments

It seems that this year winter season has so many shows with lolis that I couldn’t keep count. Besides Madoka, there is Gosick, which is a mystery story that involves a Gothic Lolita girl and an ordinary boy solving various mysteries. However, it’s not just any ordinary case… It’s the really difficult ones! (Image Source)

Taste Test Part I – Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica

January 8, 2011 by Chikorita157 4 Comments
This is the right way to wake up a sleepy person!

Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica (also known as Puella Magi Modoka Magica in Latin) has to be one of most anticipated Magical Girl in the 2011 Winter Season. This show has some similarities with Nanoha since Akiyuki Shinbo directs this show. Subsequently I enjoyed the show and wish to share my thoughts about the first episode.

Aria the Animation – Episodes 1 and 2 – First Impressions

January 5, 2011 by Chikorita157 8 Comments

Many have suggested me to watch this show ever since I have watched K-ON!!. That series was Aria, a scientific fiction slice of life, which had some similarities to the mentioned title minus the excess moe.  Nevertheless, I enjoyed the first two episodes with its nice animation, music and a interesting story. Therefore, I have to share my thoughts about Aria the Animation, the first season of the series. (Image Source)

2011 New Years Resolutions and What to Expect

January 1, 2011 by Chikorita157 7 Comments


In my last post, I focused on specific important and influential moments that happened on my blog and the aniblogosphere in 2010. In my opinion, 2010 was a good year for blogging, but how about 2011? There are many things I want to accomplish for New Year, but not everything can be done. It’s more like goals instead of resolutions since most people usually break it. Besides doing better in college, these are the five goals/resolutions I wish to achieve for the New Year. (Image Source)
