Remembering Love: Clannad After Story Part I

May 9, 2012 by Chikorita157 11 Comments

I know it’s late, but I decided to take part in trzr23’s new project called “Lets us Remember Love.” This is where we rewatch our favorite Anime and talk about it. When I came across some of these posts, I see why not even though a few days passed.

If you seen my about page, I listed some of my favorite anime. However, there is one in particular that influenced me the most since it’s the first title I blogged about when I began my Anime Blogging career. That show is of course Clannad After Story. (Image Source)

Little Busters and JC Staff: The Changes of Time

April 11, 2012 by Chikorita157 17 Comments

Just recently, Key announced that JC Staff would produce the Little Busters anime. Unfortunately, this was not well received by the fans. It stirred a lot of harsh criticism since they expect Kyoto Animation to make it. From what I have seen, this makes me wonder if the rage is justifiable or the fans are too entitled?

In the past two days, I read three opinion pieces regarding the whole matter. Therefore, I felt the need to share my own thoughts on why their decision isn’t as bad or rather, marks a transition to the New Key. (Image Source)

Twelve Moments in Anime 2010 – #8 – Angel Beats, the TsunTsun Anime

December 17, 2010 by Chikorita157 7 Comments


Angel Beats was a rather unique show even though the execution was so tsundere that it was not even funny. The show was pretty interesting with girls with guns, fighting against other people and learning about the heroes’/heroines’ tragic memories.  Therefore, this makes it the 8th Anime Moment in our countdown to Christmas.

Air – Episode 12 (END) – Final Thoughts

October 2, 2010 by Chikorita157 3 Comments
Believe me, I did feel sad during the last moments.

The final episode was heartbreaking and heartwarming…

The last scene where Misuzu reaches her goal and hugs Haruko was so emotional that I almost started crying. At the same time, it was heartwarming since Misuzu could stay strong because of her mother’s (Haruko) love. When she passes away in Haruko’s arm, it was very heartbreaking for Haruko and the audience to bear.

Nevertheless, what people say about Air being a snobbish Anime is simply not true in my opinion. It shown a beautiful life that was cut short by something unfortinate. Tragic and sad events is what makes people stronger and make us value our lives as a beautiful thing. This is what makes Air so emotionally powerful compared to the other stories.

Goodbye Misuzu… I will miss you forever! ;-;

9.5/10, A, Masterpiece

Air – Episode 9 – The End of Kanna’s Dream

September 28, 2010 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment
Mother, don't leave me! 🙁

It was nearly a year since I have watched Air. The reason I left the show collect dust for the reason of being occupied on other Anime. It was not until recently that I started where I left off because Flak was taunting me by trying to spoil the ending for me. This is probably an incentive to complete the remaining 4 episodes I haven’t seen yet so I can write a final review on it.
