January 24, 2011 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment


Since the taste testing of the Winter 2011 Anime is coming to an end, the winter season is actually decent.

Taste Test Part II – Hourou Musuko

January 23, 2011 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment
By the looks of this girl, she is pretty upset.

In the last episode of Hourou Musuko, we are introduced to Nitori and Takatsuki, which entered middle school. They have gender identity issues, which results in wearing clothes of the opposite gender. The first episode primarily focused on Nitori, a male crosdresser that felt accepted by people in the past. Unfortunately, things don’t stay the same since his sister bullies him when he crossdressed and everyone thinks that he’s sick. In this episode, the focus is on Takatsuki and her friends… in particular on Chiba Saori, which feels seemingly upset.

Madoka and Sayaka finally understand what they need to be as magical girls. Unfortunately, witch hunting could be dangerous in this instance with this one witch Mami fought.

For this episode, I watched this with other people (Roghek, Sorrow-kun, kadian1364 and others) and had a pretty interesting discussion with the episode. (Image Source)

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.

Once upon a time there is a Secret Santa Project hosted by Reverse Thieves in the Anime Blogosphere. This projects works by sending your application with your list of Anime you have watched and like.

Twelve Moments in Anime 2010 – #8 – Angel Beats, the TsunTsun Anime

December 17, 2010 by Chikorita157 7 Comments


Angel Beats was a rather unique show even though the execution was so tsundere that it was not even funny. The show was pretty interesting with girls with guns, fighting against other people and learning about the heroes’/heroines’ tragic memories.  Therefore, this makes it the 8th Anime Moment in our countdown to Christmas.

The twins are really cute when they were children.

I got caught up with several things in my life that I forgot about Zakuro. Well, a lot have happened in these two episodes regarding how the twin’s grew up, Zakuro’s mother and the spirit at Kei’s home that resulted in his fear of spirits. Some of them are petty tragic and others… really cute.

November 26, 2010 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment


During my first day of the Thanksgiving break, I decided to catch up with Ookami-san. So far, it is a pretty enjoyable show, but it has plot holes in it. This primarily has to do with JC Staff’s adaption of the series since it feels rushed. (Original Image Source)

Kirino is so into what she is explaining to these guys.

Like any bad day, this show seems to have its bad episode with some unbelievable, corny and silly moments. I wonder, who is going to get an Anime adaption after they wrote their first light novel?  If you guess Kirino, then you are right!
