Love Live School Idol Paradise (All Volumes) – Final Review

November 17, 2017 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment
Artist: さすらい

I have to admit that idol anime can be fun to watch. While it’s obvious that I like The Idolmaster a lot more, Love Live is enjoyable as well despite the music is not my cup of tea. When Dingo, who developed the Project Diva games on the PlayStation Portable, announced Love Live School Idol Paradise, it interests me. While it faced a few delays, does it live up to expectations? Maybe not and I will explain why you should probably skip this game and keep playing Love Live School Idol Festival instead.

The Idolmaster Platinum Stars – Final Review

November 10, 2017 by Chikorita157 4 Comments
Artist: だーす

For a while now, idols have become popular in Japan. While I enjoy Idolmaster 2 and One for All on the Playstation 3, Bandai Namco decides to make the jump to the Playstation 4. They announced The Idolmaster Platinum Stars on the franchise’s 10th anniversary live concert and released in July of 2016. It improves on the graphics drastically while introducing new gameplay. The question is, does it live up to the hype.

BanG Dream! – Final Review

August 7, 2017 by Chikorita157 5 Comments
Artist: 刃天

A few months back, I shared my thoughts about Kidani Takaaki believing that idol boom will die and the band boom will happen. Of course, that never really went into fruition since girl band shows are not too different from idol anime.

Regardless, Bushiroad, the company behind the Love Live School Idol Festival mobile game decided to take gamble. They created a new franchise called BanG Dream focused on girl bands. They created an anime series to jump-start this trend. You might be asking yourself, did the anime succeeded in that goal? Not so much.

Bang Dream and the Girl-Band Boom, Does it Even Exist or is it a Pipe dream?

April 18, 2017 by Chikorita157 4 Comments

For a while now, I have come across an article about BanG Dream. It’s about a statement that Kidani Takaaki made.  He said that “the idol boom that has continued until now is already finished this year.”

In other words, he believes that idols will make way for the girl-band boom. However, I am very skeptical of that for many reasons that I will share.
