Shinryaku!? Ika Musume – Final Review

January 19, 2012 by Chikorita157 5 Comments

During the fall of 2010, Ika Musume had become a wild success in Japan and overseas. It was so popular that it got another season, which contains more of same squid girl antics. Since it’s over, how does it compare with the prequel? That answer lies below. (Image Source)

Nichijou – Final Review

October 17, 2011 by Chikorita157 3 Comments


In the past, Kyoto Animation has made a few notable slice of life shows involving a bunch of schoolgirls. Particularly, Lucky Star and K-ON is their most popular works in the genre. With the production of Nichijou, it takes a slightly different take of the genre opposed to gradual character development and references from the Otaku subculture.  Instead, it focuses mostly on slapstick comedy sketches that place characters in wacky situations.

Hanasaku Iroha – Final Review

October 10, 2011 by Chikorita157 2 Comments

It’s a known fact that PA Works is well-known for their original productions.  In particular, True Tears, Canaan and especially Angel Beats had garnered a lot of attention.  Although their production values are great, the stories get a bit too ambitious mostly because of the length. This eventually caused them to get a bit off track from the original premise as seen with Hanasaku Iroha. (Image Source)

Ikoku Meiro no Croisèe – Final Review

September 25, 2011 by Chikorita157 5 Comments


With the start of the 21st century, the so-called Iyashikei genre became popularized, especially with Aria through its gorgeous scenery, focus on friendship, and lighthearted feeling. I tend to enjoy them as it melt the stress from life that gives you a good feeling.

Ikoku Meiro no Croisèe is just that, except it involves a really cute and young Japanese girl living in a foreign country like France. (Image Source)

Believe it or not, Fuu was so clumsy back when she was a child.

At the last half of the story, we get to see Fuu and her friends searching for the spot where her father took that special picture. Through the help of Sayomi, whose driving skills is very dubious, she made this adventure possible.

Summer Vacation Marathon – Dog Days Final Review

July 25, 2011 by Chikorita157 3 Comments


Second in the Summer Vacation Anime Marathon, I watched Dog Days, a fantasy adventure original anime made by Seven Arcs, the studio known for their work on Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha. While people find the story to be pretty shallow, I have actually enjoyed this show because of characters, the lighthearted feeling, and various Eastern RPG elements incorporated in the story (Image Source).

Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Movie 1st – Movie Review

July 22, 2011 by Chikorita157 2 Comments

First in the summer vacation marathon, I have watched the Nanoha movie (most namely, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha The Movie 1st), which focused on the events involving Nanoha’s befriending of Fate in the original season. Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha has been a very enjoyable magical girl series to me as it differs to the traditional genre. It caters to the moe crowd while appealing to others with a rather complex magic system (with some elements of mecha), males using magic and of course yuri. Of course, the first season of Nanoha is not entirely flawless since the animation was lackluster and some important details were left unexplained until the movie came out…

Gosick – Final Review

July 9, 2011 by Chikorita157 1 Comment

When Gosick started airing back in January, the mysteries in the beginning left the glass half. While the show had some interesting mysteries, I felt that the show’s strength lies in the underlining adventure with Kazuya and Victorique as they uncover the secrets of Sauville (Image Source).

A Channel – Final Review

June 26, 2011 by Chikorita157 10 Comments

At first, A Channel gave me the feelings that it will have some similarities to K-ON. As the series went on, the show became an enjoyable experience with the girls’ personalities driving the comedy along with great production values.

Reflection & Review: Madoka Magica is still Captivating.

June 1, 2011 by Chikorita157 2 Comments

Ever since the finale of Madoka Magica, which aired two months ago, the series has definitely become one of the most captivating and memorable show of 2011 in my opinion. While Madoka has some of the traditional magical elements, it had a darker story filled with despair that made the overall premise rather interesting. Despite the minor flaws in storytelling, the show has definitely redefined certain aspects of the magical girl genre (Image Source).

Review: Pokémon White

May 13, 2011 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment

For a long time, Pokémon has been one of the most influential franchises that got me interested in Anime.  Ever since I played Pokémon Blue back in the late 90s, the games have refined themselves during the years.

After reviewing Pokemon HeartGold nearly a year ago, Pokémon Black and White, the fifth generation of Pokémon were released two months ago bringing stunning graphics, eye catching battle animations, new game mechanics, Pokémon and story. Since I played over 200 hours of Pokémon White, I felt that it’s finally time to share my thoughts about the game overall. (Image Source)
