Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai – Episode 1 – The Dark and Embarrassing Secrets of Togashi Yuuta

October 4, 2012 by Chikorita157 2 Comments
Yuuta is reliving a dream as an RPG character.

Since summer is finally over, it’s time to focus on the first show I’m watching this fall. Just like Hyouka, it seems that Kyoto Animation was busy working on another project that got announced last year. This show is Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai (中二病でも恋がしたい, lit: I have Middle School Second Year Disease, but I Want to Love!). It has a male lead and this weird girl with an eye-patch. Seems interesting enough until I actually watched the first episode. After that, my mind simply got blown away.

Kokoro Connect – Episode 1 – I’m in a Girl’s Body?! That’s Impossible!

July 22, 2012 by Chikorita157 2 Comments
It may look like a dream, but it’s not.

Since Dog Days 2 Episode 3 isn’t coming out anytime soon, I want to focus on a show that has been talked about quite a lot in the blogosphere. That show is Kokoro Connect.

Dog Days 2 – Episode 1 – The Grand Return

July 8, 2012 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment
They finally reunite…

Last summer, I watched the whole first season of Dog Days while on vacation in two days. Although the story was average, it’s still a fun experience as the characters had enjoyable personalities along with the idea of a friendly war. Despite the mundane ending, it was fun and had charm. With the second season, I expect things to become more exciting as Shinku brings his childhood friend, Becky with Shinku’s cousin, Nanami to that fantasy world.

Tari Tari – Episode 1 – When your Vice Principal Doesn’t Let you Sing, Start your Own Club!

July 2, 2012 by Chikorita157 6 Comments
Exactly what I thought…

It’s finally summer, thus we begin the anime of this season. First to air is of course Tari Tari. If you know some Japanese, “たり…たりする” usually lists activities. In English, it will translate out to be “do such things as x and y.”

As you will expect, this show is about two male characters, three girls and music. It sounds familiar, but I haven’t even shared my thoughts about the episode yet!

Since the spring anime will come to an end pretty soon, I may as well take the time and show what I have planned for the summer. As you would expect, I won’t watch much since I usually use this time to catch up on my backlog. Additionally, I’ll share what I have in store for the next two months. (Image Source)

Simoun – First Impressions (Episode 1 & 2)

May 23, 2012 by Chikorita157 7 Comments

Once upon a time, Draggle offered me to join this live watch of Simoun shortly after my defeat in the Aniblog Tourney. Of course, I was busy with a lot of projects and finals for the Spring Semester until now. I decided to take a look at the first two episodes and what I have seen amazed me. (Image Source)

Let’s Check Out – Natsuiro Kiseki – Episode 1

April 6, 2012 by Chikorita157 4 Comments
Let this snapshot set the mood for this episode.

If you read some of my contributions on Anime Instrumentality Blog, it’s a known fact that I am a fan of Sphere because the girls can sing great (with Toyosaki Aki being an exception). Now, they are creating an original anime called Natsuiro Kiseki, which means Summer Color Miracle in Japanese. Since it combine one of my favorite group of singers with one of the best animation studios, Sunrise who recently produced Daily Lives Of High School Boys, what could go wrong?

Spring Break Madness: Papa no Iukoto o Kikinasai – Episode 1

March 10, 2012 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment
Boy meets girl... except his life will get turned upside down shortly after.

Somehow, I have a certain urge to watch Papa no Iukoto o Kikinasai (lit. Listen to me, Girls. I am Your Father!) because the girls looked so endearing. Also, I felt bored, so I decided to watch it for myself to see how it was like.

Mouretsu Pirates – Episode 1 – First Impressions

January 25, 2012 by Chikorita157 2 Comments
Arrrgh! Time for some piracy!

I have to admit that I have been experiencing some boredom since I’m watching hardly anything. Usually, I watch a minimum of three shows per season. With Milky Holmes S2 release taking longer than expected, I decided to check out one of the most talked about shows in the past few weeks. That show is Mouretsu Pirates (or Bodacious Space Pirates).

I have never expected this...

After Milky Holmes lost their powers for the second time, the second season starts right where they left off. The only problem now is that they completely forgot what they intended to become in the first place.

Amagami SS+ Plus – Episode 1 (Tsukasa After Part 1) – When Elections and Love Collides…

January 6, 2012 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment
What a lovely shot...

Our lovable male lead is finally back as the sequel to Amagami SS starts. It covers the after stories of each girl’s arcs backwards, which consists of two episodes. For that, the focus is on Tsukasa, right where we left off in the last season if you ignore the two specials from the last season.

Popura already lost her mind....

A year has passed since the first season of Working (aka Wagnaria) aired and it brought entertaining comedy involving some restaurant workers with eccentric personalities.  Few minutes into the first episode of the second season, that punch is finally back!

Tamayura ~hitotose~ – Episode 1 – How Everything Started…

October 5, 2011 by Chikorita157 4 Comments
Memories from photos are never forgotten...

Back in 2010 when the 4 episode Tamayura OVAs aired, the story felt somewhat incomplete from the lack of development of the other characters. Despite being short, the heartwarming feeling through its lighthearted story and gorgeous setting made the story really enjoyable.

With the first episode of Tamayura ~hitotose~, it retains the same aspects of the OVAs and expands on how Fuu got inspired to become a photographer and ultimately deciding to move back to the town of her childhood.

Fate/Zero – Episode 1 – Brief First Impressions

October 2, 2011 by Chikorita157 7 Comments
They make a fine couple...

As expected, Fate/Zero started with a bang in a massive, 48-minute first episode. From my experience, it’s the longest introduction to a story I have seen for the first time since I started watching anime. Considering that this episode is very long, I’m only going to share my overall thoughts in a brief manner with the assumption that everyone had already watched it.

You don't want to mess with Chizuru... she's dangerous!

Finally, the second season of Ika Musume has invaded the blogosphere with the first episode. Of course, if you interested in watching this show and haven’t watched the prequel, I highly suggest doing so before jumping right in or you can get lost pretty easily.

Like in my previous posts of this show, I will split the post into three parts on each sketch showing by brief thoughts about it.

Fall 2011 Anime Season is just around the corner with a few starting in September. If you have noticed already, this fall is full of sequels since there are many continuations and prequels that are airing. Out of the list of shows, I chosen four shows (besides The iDOLM@STER) I will be covering for the season.

Also, Melative will provide all information for the shows listed here (maybe incomplete).(Image Source)

True Tears – Episode 1 & 2 (First Impressions)

August 15, 2011 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment
This is not exactly the reaction he wanted from her.

For a while now, I wanted to watch True Tears, PA Works’s first production before they produced other anime such as Canaan, Angel Beats and the now airing Hanasaku Iroha. While the latter having a few similarities since Mari Okada worked on both series, the focus is primarily on the love triangle that slowly develops with Shinichiro and the two girls, Hiromi and Noe.

Ano Hana – Brief First Impressions (Episodes 1 & 2)

August 3, 2011 by Chikorita157 2 Comments


This year, there doesn’t seem to be any shortage of anime filled with drama and tear-jerking moments. Madoka Magica, Hourou Musuko and to a certain extent Hanasaku Iroha have shown us some of the most dramatic scenes thus far. However, Ano Hi Mita Hana No Namae O Bokutachi Wa Mada Shiranai, which perhaps holds the longest title in anime history takes it to an entirely different level with a childhood friend tragedy. (Image Source)
