March 8, 2018 by Chikorita157 3 Comments

Given that this blog will be turning 10 years old next year, I want to expand my content. Aside from anime reviews and Japanese video games, I will cover some Japanese manga. I imported 9 volumes from different series, mostly leaving where the anime left off. All the manga I bought are Manga Time Kirara series.

Kiniro Mosaic – Final Review

January 17, 2018 by Chikorita157 2 Comments

I always find Iyashikei slice of life shows very enjoyable since it gives a sense of escapism from reality. This time, this show focuses on a Japanese girl who goes to England for a week for a homestay. Of course, she obsesses over foreigners, especially girls with blond hair that is Kiniro Mosaic.

3DS Capture Mod Review

January 11, 2018 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment
Artist: かなりのびねつ

In 2016, I reviewed the Playstation Vita capture kit. It’s basically a hardware mod, which allows you to capture footage. While expensive, you can capture footage of all Vita games, which is something that you can’t do on the Playstation Vita TV officially.

In November, I decided to buy a Nintendo 3DS capture kit since Pocket Monsters Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon is coming out with it being the last on the console. Now that I used the kit extensively, it’s time to share my thoughts.

Note: It’s not possible to obtain a Nintendo 3DS with a capture mod since the company behind it, Katsukity went out of business. This review will remain for historical purposes. No, the capture kit is not for sale.

Love Live School Idol Paradise (All Volumes) – Final Review

November 17, 2017 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment
Artist: さすらい

I have to admit that idol anime can be fun to watch. While it’s obvious that I like The Idolmaster a lot more, Love Live is enjoyable as well despite the music is not my cup of tea. When Dingo, who developed the Project Diva games on the PlayStation Portable, announced Love Live School Idol Paradise, it interests me. While it faced a few delays, does it live up to expectations? Maybe not and I will explain why you should probably skip this game and keep playing Love Live School Idol Festival instead.

The Idolmaster Platinum Stars – Final Review

November 10, 2017 by Chikorita157 4 Comments
Artist: だーす

For a while now, idols have become popular in Japan. While I enjoy Idolmaster 2 and One for All on the Playstation 3, Bandai Namco decides to make the jump to the Playstation 4. They announced The Idolmaster Platinum Stars on the franchise’s 10th anniversary live concert and released in July of 2016. It improves on the graphics drastically while introducing new gameplay. The question is, does it live up to the hype.

Yoru no Nai Kuni 2: Shingetsu no Hanayome – Final Review

October 12, 2017 by Chikorita157 2 Comments

In November 2015, Gust made a new franchise called Yoru no Nai Kuni (also known as Night of Azure outside of Japan). It focused on a half-demon girl named Arnice (アーナス) with her quest to protect Lilysse (リュリーティス) and stop the Nightlord

The sequel, Yoru no Nai Kuni 2: Shingetsu no Hanayome (よるのないくに2;新月の花嫁, lit: Land without Darkness: Bride of the New Moon) starts where the first game left off with a new cast with more refinements to the battle system and a new story. Of course, this game suffered development hell with it delayed several times. It’s not until August 31st it finally made it past development and released to the public in Japan. With that, this makes you wonder, is the sequel worth the wait?

Nintendo Switch – A Worthy Successor of the Playstation Vita?

For a while now, the Playstation Vita was the console for me. Not only it’s almost as powerful as a Playstation 3, but it has a lot of good Japanese role playing games. It also sold well in Japan.

Now, there is another contender. You guessed it! It’s the Nintendo Switch.

BanG Dream! – Final Review

August 7, 2017 by Chikorita157 5 Comments
Artist: 刃天

A few months back, I shared my thoughts about Kidani Takaaki believing that idol boom will die and the band boom will happen. Of course, that never really went into fruition since girl band shows are not too different from idol anime.

Regardless, Bushiroad, the company behind the Love Live School Idol Festival mobile game decided to take gamble. They created a new franchise called BanG Dream focused on girl bands. They created an anime series to jump-start this trend. You might be asking yourself, did the anime succeeded in that goal? Not so much.

In the past few years, Kyoto Animation has made some very enjoyable shows, namely both seasons of Hibike Euphonium. They did not disappoint in regards on how the relationships turned out in the end. When it comes to comedy mixed with fantasy, as of recently, Musaigen no Panthom World gave viewers mixed feelings. With that, will Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon live up to expectations?
