Monthly Anime Music Ramblings – April 2012 – The iDOLM@STER

March 28, 2012 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment

It has been a while since I wrote guest reviews of related singles and soundtracks relating to Anime. Since I want to come up with another single review within a few months, I suppose I should share my thoughts on some good music I heard from the shows I watched. With that, I come up with the “Monthly Anime Music Ramblings,” an idea I had in my mind two nights ago.

In this feature, I will pick one to three track(s) from a particular series or artist. Then, I will explain what I like about the song along with other aspects like instrumentals and singer’s performance. This will replace the yearly list of favorite artists along with the best songs from a particular season.

In this inaugural post, I will talk about three tracks from The Idolmaster that really impressed me. (Image Source)

This might look depressing, but she improves...

From the aftermath of an article in a gossip magazine regarding Chihaya’s past, it kind of shows how judgmental society is even though it clearly crosses the line.

September 10, 2011 by Chikorita157 4 Comments
It seems that everyone wants a piece of Azusa...

Sorry about that long delay… Since the subs got delayed for the past two weeks due to some extraordinary circumstances, I had to put this show off and watch some of my backlog. Gratefully, episodes 8 and 9 were finally released today, so I’m confident that I will get caught up by Monday.

As for this episode, Azusa getting lost and a group of bodyguards chasing after her was a fun experience. All of this happened with her wearing a nice-looking wedding dress.

Tantei Opera Milky Holmes – Summer Special – Kokoro Becomes an iDOLM@STER!

September 8, 2011 by Chikorita157 8 Comments
Oh god, what did they do to you, Kokoro-chan?

Well, sort of… It’s not like she had a choice or anything.

It felt like a long time since Tantei Opera Milky Holmes ended back in December of last year. This show was particularly fun not because the girls were adorable, but for the outright hilarious comedy that didn’t involve the overused tsundere archetypes.  With a second season coming next winter, I can only wonder about the shenanigans Milky Holmes and the Genius 4 will be up to.

For now, we have the summer special 1, which centers on Kokoro’s journey of becoming an idol shortly after the G4’s demotion for failing to capture Aresenè among other things.
