Thoughts about Tales of Series and Tales of Hearts Demo

February 19, 2013 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment

Artist: ruri14

In the past, I have played various Japanese RPGs such as Final Fantasy and Pokémon (excluding the Atelier games I played recently). Of course, there is one other RPG series that is popular with the Anime fandom and it’s the Tales of Series. (Image Source)

This is just the beginning.

I’m a year late to the party, but I’m not going to miss out on this for any longer.

And yes, I was on vacation during the past two days. This can explain the inactivity because wireless Internet wasn’t free. Since I am back, its time to catch up.

This is what I was doing during Winter Break: Playing Video Games and Studying Japanese.

Since I got so many games for Christmas and played with them for so many hours that I totally forgot to write a Winter Preview.  So, it wouldn’t hurt to share what I plan to watch a few days late.

As always, I start with a few shows before tacking on additional ones.

Atelier Meruru – First Impressions – Iyashikei of Item Crafting

Artist: cocorip

In the past, I have written some initial impressions or full reviews of video games from Japan. Of course, most of what I covered is ones related to Anime such as the Idolmaster games and Pokémon. Now I’m going to do something slightly different and share my thoughts about a pretty obscure game called Atelier Meruru. (Image Source)

iDOLM@STER Shiny Festa – First Impressions

November 10, 2012 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment

As The iDOLM@STER franchise becomes more popular, especially after the anime that aired last year, Namco feels the need to make a new game. That game is iDOLM@STER Shiny Festa, which focuses more on the rhythm aspect rather than the managing from the main games. Like the first PSP games, each edition contains different idols and exclusive songs (at least 6 songs are included in all the games). (Image Source)

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.

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!

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

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.

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).
