MM! – Episode 5 – I’m doing it FOR SCIENCE… and REVENGE!

October 30, 2010 by Chikorita157 4 Comments
Prepared to be bewitched... Oh wait, wrong show!

Well, this is probably the wackiest episode I ever seen since it has parodies of other anime, and perverted men and girls. It also has an extremely smart, cute loli girl who develops a machine that turns people into perverts FOR SCIENCE!

Amagami SS – Episode 17 – Rihoko Sakurai’s Arc Part I – The Unlucky Childhood Friend

October 30, 2010 by Chikorita157 4 Comments
She looks so innocent... but so guilty for breaking her diet.

Well it’s a new arc and the focus is now on Rihoko for whom she is a very unlucky childhood friend of Junichi. Unfortunately, Rihoko’s love towards Junichi seems to be unrequited even though they are best friends. I wonder why?

Otome Youkai Zakuro – Episode 04 – Susukihotaru Overcoming her Timidness

October 28, 2010 by Chikorita157 2 Comments
He is a really lucky man

Like the last episode of Otome Youkai Zakuro, this episode focuses mainly on Susukihotaru and Riken over the investigation of the dubious sword obtained by a shopkeeper.  The sword has some significance in revealing Susukihotaru’s hidden power inside of her that allows the revealing of a person’s select memories from objects.

Ore no Imouto – Episode 4 – Why so Serious about the Fanservice?

October 25, 2010 by Chikorita157 17 Comments
Kyousuke RAEGQUITs a sister fighting game.

Unlike the last three episodes, some people in the anime blogosphere went gaga over this one fanservice scene. I wondered about it when I watched this episode. Fortunately, I did not get the same reaction from that scene. I probably did not react to it as much since I saw the comedy value in it, not the naughty side of things.

Taste Test Part III – Tantei Opera Milky Holmes

October 24, 2010 by Chikorita157 4 Comments
What kind of drugs Twenty was on to do this sort of things to young girls?

In this fun filled episode of Tantei Opera Milky Holmes, the four girls gains a rival in capturing the criminals.  The Genius 4 makes an appearance on the television. Not only that, Kokoro, a twin tail tsundere flips the bird ON TV!  I thought this was a children’s show? I guess not.

MM! – Episode 4 – The Date that went Terribly Wrong!

October 23, 2010 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment
This reminded me of Kyou kissing Tomoya in the end...

After all the drama regarding Yuuno’s dramatic past, it is time for more comedy. In this wacky episode, Mio decides to take Taro on a date to see if the myth of “love triumphs masochism” is true.

Taste Test Part III – Shinryaku! Ika Musume

October 22, 2010 by Chikorita157 3 Comments
Oh no, an INFLATABLE killer whale!

After I spent all my time studying for the big exam, I am finally done and can relax a bit before the exams start up again. What is a better way to do it by watching Shinryaku! Ika Masume. Like the last two episodes, it continues with the summer fun. In this particular episode, it focuses on ghosts, killer orcas (or dolphins) and a surfer who are scared of non-humans.

End of the Taste Test – Yosuga no Sora is too Risqué!

October 19, 2010 by Chikorita157 6 Comments
Even Sora's Ice Cream eating can not save the series from being dropped...

I rarely drop anime that I am currently watching since the flaws are usually insignificant to warrant a drop.  Unfortunately, I have to drop it because I could not take the Yosuga no Sora seriously since it feels so trashy.

Ore no Imouto – Eroge or Why there shouldn’t be a double standard on Violent Games and Eroge

October 18, 2010 by Chikorita157

After I watched the third episode, the show gave me some thoughts about the acceptance of eroge games in general. Even though Kyousuke’s father was right about the questionable content in eroge and that minors shouldn’t play it, I support Kyousuke’s argument since it’s unfair to shun eroge while accepting violent video games like Halo 3. I believe the double standard in western society is highly hypocritical since they accept violent games while shunning eroge. Regardless of content, both Eroge and Violent Games could become a bad influence on someone for the questionable content it has. I think this double standard exists as a result of the cultural differences between Eastern Asia (in this instance, Japan) and the West. [1. Image Source]

One cat brought them back together just like that!

Well, here is another fun filled episode of Tantei Opera Milky Holmes. Continuing from the last episode, they are downgraded from the rest of the classmates and gets a bit harsher from here… Cordella gets imprisoned for falsely admitting to stealing bread. Oh my!

Fall 2010 Anime Season Taste Test Score Card

October 16, 2010 by Chikorita157 2 Comments

With the taste testing of Anime coming to a close, I want to share my overall thoughts about all the Fall 2010 Anime I have tried out. Compared to last year, I tried out a total of 5 series, which is up from three shows from last year. Most of the shows mainly consisted of comedy slice of life shows, which is not shocking at all considering it’s my preference for Anime after all. [1. Original Image Source]

Ore No Imouto – Harsh Realities of being an Otaku and Personal Experiences

October 15, 2010 by Chikorita157 2 Comments


After I watched the second episode of Ore No Imouto Ga Konna Ni Kawaii Wake Ga Nai, it seems to be a very realistic representation of Otakus in real life. In a way, it relates to some of the aspects presented in the first real life female Otaku meeting. Even though I do not consider myself as an Otaku, there are plenty of issues and experiences I can relate to the show. [1. Image Source]

Even though Ika isn't enjoying this treatment, Sanae loves it!

Shinryaku! Ika Musume is still one of those shows that I enjoy the most besides Ore No Imouto. It works since it uses the same proven formula, have a cute girl doing cute things and throw some funny jokes in about her. Well, In this episode, it’s all about saving lifes, celebrating birthdays and a girl who likes to dress Ika in cute outfits…

Sora must like the ice cream pop by the way she eats it.

After Sora took off her dress from the cliffhanger, we expected that she is going to seduce Haruka. Unfortunately, she fakes us out and only wants Haruka to measure her for the school uniform. Cue uncontrollable rage…

They are still cute...

Stupid Tantei Opera Milky Holmes! It’s not like I want to watch you or anything… but the cuteness pulled me in!

Yeah, I am pretty tsundere when it comes to anime and this is no exception. Tantei Opera Milky Holmes is a magical girl detective story with extremely cute girls fighting against the villains. At the same time, the first episode was pretty brutal since they lost their powers 9 minutes into the first episode. After they lost their powers, things kind of went in a downward spiral.

K-ON!! – Extra Episodes Part 1 and 2 Final Thoughts

October 8, 2010 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment
Azu-nyan is working hard on making the promotional video successful.

After the final performance from the four girls that left Azu-nyan in tears, we are now left with the Extra Episodes.

The extras are what you expect if you watched the last season; they are fun and enjoyable stories to look at. The first extra involves the Light Music Club producing another promotional video since the last one is shoddily done. The second involves a visit to Sawako’s apartment to get her approval on the final copy of the yearbook. In addition to visiting her, they made dinner and done the laundry while she recovers from the cold.

Now everyone wants a piece of her...

It is a known fact that human beings neglect the majestic part of Mother Nature… the sea. The sea provides us the food, transportation, recreation and natural resources. Sadly, the mistreatment of the sea from man-made disasters from overfishing and countless oil spill disasters like the Deepwater Horizon have driven this one Squid Girl into extreme dissatisfaction. As a result, she wants world domination so that human beings will never mistreat the sea.

The problem is… nobody really takes her seriously because she looks like a child…

October 4, 2010 by Chikorita157 2 Comments
Holy crap?! She owns that much eroge games?

This is probably the 4th most popular Anime that everyone is talking about this season. Ore No Imouto Ga Konna Ni Kawaii Wake Ga Nai (or My Little Sister Can’t Be This Cute) takes on the Otaku culture which was focused vaguely in Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu. Instead of a boy meets girl kind of thing, it has an older brother and younger sister!

Air – Final Review

October 3, 2010 by Chikorita157 6 Comments

Air is one of the most memorable shows I seen besides Kanon, Clannad or even 5 Centimeters Per Second since it was Kyoto Animation’s first Key Adaptation that was faithful to the Visual Novel. As a result of how well Air done in terms of animation and story, it gained a fandom and hatedom.

In spite of this, Air still remains a masterpiece for several reasons; it conveyed the summer theme rather well. Also, it had a historical backdrop and scenes with emotional impact the viewer receives. [1. Original Picture Source]

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! ;-;

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.
