Also, I want to share my thoughts on the state of the blog as I am still not happy with where things are going, especially with the number of comments. This list should stay the same, unless there are delays.

Shoujo Kageki Revue Starlight – Episodes 1-3 – Karen Joins the Fight For Brilliance

July 17, 2020 by Chikorita157 3 Comments
Karen finally prepared for school.

Back in 2018 when it aired, I haven’t had the chance to watch Revue Starlight. This is mostly because I didn’t have a Hidive subscription. However, I did play the mobile gacha game for at least for several months when it came out last year. That is without knowing what happened in the anime.

Since I have a good amount of free time before the onslaught of fall anime, I think it’s the best time to well, watch it.

22/7 (Nanabun no Nijyuuni) – Episodes 1-3 – The Letter that Changed Miu’s Life

June 25, 2020 by Chikorita157 3 Comments
It’s obvious that Miu is very shy and introverted. However, that is about to change.

Believe it or not, I enjoy watching idol anime because well, who doesn’t like cute girls singing and dancing to songs? I do mostly because there is a lot of good coming of age moments and team building. While I covered quite a lot of idol anime throughout the year, I want to change up the pace a bit.

Yes, I want to get away from the Manga Time Kirara adaptations for a bit to cover another idol anime, 22/7, also known as Nanabun no Nijyuuni. What is intriguing is that the concept of this project about “idols that transcends dimensions.” In other words, voice actresses portray their character in animation and real life. The group released CDs before the anime’s premiere, in the same way as Ongaku Shoujo.

What Is on My Mind – June 2020 – Coronavirus Impact on Anime Blogging, Blog Changes, Black Lives Matter and Summer 2020 Preview

June 7, 2020 by Chikorita157 4 Comments
Artist: ヒロき

Now that it’s finally June, the rather desolate spring season thanks to Covid19 is coming to an end.

After the breakdown I had on Twitter, I want to change things up to perhaps improve the content of this blog. Since I usually do some kind of life updates on season previews, I want to do some kind of monthly summary type of posts.

Back in 2013-2015, I shared some kind of updates in a weekly summary of titles I chose not to cover individually. What I tend to do with these monthly posts is to share not only what I am up to and have planned, but also mini editorials on anime-related topics I find interesting during the month but couldn’t write a whole post for. Also, I will also share my picks for this summer, providing that it doesn’t get delayed.

Hidamari Sketch – Episodes 1-3 – Cuteness Overload

May 14, 2020 by Chikorita157 2 Comments
Yes, this scene is classic.

As COVID-19 rages on and affects most anime productions, it’s time to watch more shows that are on my list. Recently, I have compiled a list of shows I plan to cover. I probably won’t be able to finish everything by the time everything starts to go back to the new normal. At least this will give me some things to cover during the next few seasons. After all, the next several months will be pretty barren with all the delays.

With that, we continue the trend of watching all the Manga Time Kirara adaptations I haven’t seen yet. This time we head back to 2007. Yes, we are finally watching the timeless schoolgirl slice of life filled with diabetes induced cuteness. That show is Hidamari Sketch. Yes, I orginally intended to review this show last year. However, my big move for a new job kind of distracted me from actually watching the whole first season.

Sansha Sanyou – Episodes 1-3 – The Poor Princess and the Awesome Maid

April 26, 2020 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment
This is how they all met, all by chance.

As expected, it seems that for the most part, most spring season shows are now being pushed back due to covid-19. Instead of letting the blog go without any content, we are going to start covering some shows from the backlog. As you would expect, there is still a good number of shows that I haven’t got the chance to watch.

With how this works is that I will cover three episodes each week for a given series until I complete it and review it. Unlike regular episodic impressions where I cover the episodes overall, I will only touch on the aspects I find interesting and enjoyable.  With the first series I will cover in the backlog is the first three episodes of Sansha Sanyou.
