Anime blog that focuses on Yuri and School Girl Slice of Life Anime and Editorials
It has been over 10 years since Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire released in America. Even though Generation III was not my favorite generation, there were many aspects that I liked. Since Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire releases tomorrow, the best way to share my anticipation for the new remakes is to look back at the original games and share some memories I have with it.

It seems that everything worked out in the end…

A recent episode of Shirobako has brought up an interesting topic regarding the whole 2D Animation vs 3D Animation/Computer Generated Images debate and how should Anime be made. This issue was so controversial that it almost pushed Endou to quit (besides Tarou’s incompetence).
The 2D vs 3D/CGI debate has been a passionate one for the fact that most Anime have 2D animation. As technology improves, animation studios might be eager to adopt 3D/CGI as a way to make it flashier while cut production costs. By doing so, something gets lost in the process, which is why this debate is so passionate not only to fans, but people who work in the industry.

For a long time, I avoided sharing my views on how people view tastes in Anime since it is a controversial issue in the fandom. While some anime bloggers shared their thoughts on the issue, there are many reasons why I do not subscribe to the view there is such thing as good/bad tastes.

I hope everyone had an enjoyable Halloween (personally, I don’t celebrate that holiday because of Trick or Treaters, they are rather annoying).
In case you missed it, I have reviewed Tamako Love Story a few days back.
…
Finally finished my second round of midterms, so hopefully next week’s Anime Weekly post won’t come out this late.
Still, Tail Red is cute.
…
Yep, It has been a busy week considering that I have midterms. Hopefully next week’s weekly digest will come earlier next weekend.

As the dust finally settles on the first week of the fall anime season, it’s time to share my remaining first impressions for Ore, Twintail ni narimasu and Shirobako.
If you haven’t already, check out my first impressions for Amagi Brilliant Park and Fate/stay night Unlimited Blade Works I shared earlier in the week.

I admit that PA Works (Progressive Animation Works) is one of my favorite studios besides Kyoto Animation not because of the high production values, but rather the types of shows they come out. The studio is more known for its original productions, some that I actually enjoyed.
After watching Glasslip, I was deeply disappointed and wondered to my self, why did it fail? It’s odd considering that they played it safe with a premise that they can’t possibly mess it up. Ultimately, we are proven wrong.
…
Fall is almost here and I’m somewhat swamped with course work.
Note: This is probably the last Weekly Anime Impressions post I will make until the next season starts. I will be posting my final episode impressions of Hanayamata and Free Eternal Summer separately.

In the past few weeks, I have witnessed a lot of bullying and name-calling shaming people who play or enjoy video games. It’s true that people tend to judge people depending on tastes and their hobbies such as people who like Anime since it’s a niche medium. Because of this, people who are not familiar with it will likely hold an ignorant, distorted or uninformed view on it and generalize them to a certain stereotype or label.

Summer break is over, but there is still the hot springs episode.
…
Summer Break has finally comes to an end with the final semester in college starting.
…
Just last month, the Anime and Manga Industry have started to crack down piracy of Anime and Manga. While I believe that these creators should get the credit they deserve and the industry made some progress in doing so with legal streaming sites, there are still some shortcomings, especially in regards to Manga. I think there are ways to fix it that would benefit the industry rather than fighting an endless battle on piracy.
…
It’s the last week before Fall Semester starts, so it’s time to enjoy what is left of my summer break.
…
Believe it or not, girls with animal ears are cute… Too bad Yaya didn’t wear the cat ears.
…
Surprised that Naru’s dad suddenly noticed how much she changed after six episodes.
…
While I’m two episodes behind Sailor Moon Crystal, I am shocked that she still doesn’t know how to use a computer in 2014!
…
For a while now, I have noticed a downward trend in the blogosphere since 2012 as episodic blogging is coming out of favor with bloggers either giving blogging or forego other types of content such as essays, analysis and reviews. With Hanner’s Anime Blog throwing in the towel just a few months ago, I wonder if episodic blogging has outlived its usefulness in an age where legal streaming is widespread. Furthermore, I think there are better ways to present an analysis rather than share than in 12 separate posts.

Tami definitely foots the bill as a older sister-type, aside from Azusa.
…
I bet a lot of people are wondering why most Japanese songs have English words. They do it because it’s cute and cool.
…
Yep, love is already in the air and we are only in the second week of the summer anime season.
…
Pokémon was one of the first shows besides Miyazaki films that helped me gain an interest in Anime. While I remained a fan of Pokémon (or Pocket Monsters) since my childhood, I gradually lost interest in the Anime in the mid 2000s because it got dull and bland.
After watching and reviewing Pokémon the Origin special late last year and reading this controversial thread on Bulbagarden Forums, I have a feeling that Game Freak should revamp the Pokémon Anime to be more like Origins and make Satoshi age or change the protagonist every few years.
