Hidan no Aria AA – Episode 3 – Kirin finds Her Amica and Crush

Thankfully, Kirin's obsession over Raika never reaches the level of Shino's.

It looks like Shino is out to strangle someone for taking Akari away.
It looks like Shino is out to strangle someone for taking Akari away from her.

At last, Akari passed her first test to become Aria’s Amica. Sadly, there is one girl who is not happy with Akari being obsessed with Aria 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Hidan no Aria AA – Episode 1 – Hidden Potential

October 13, 2015 by Chikorita157 3 Comments
Akari didn't realize how hard obtaining her dream will be until the test.
Akari didn’t realize how hard obtaining her dream will be until the test.

While I watched Hidan no Aria ages ago, it felt like another Kugimiya Rie Tsundere shows, especially since it was made by JC Staff.  Instead of getting a second season, we now have a spinoff involving a girl named Mamiya Akari who looks up to Aria despite being dead last in the Butei rankings. I know it took awhile, but it’s here now.

As you would expect, Akari is definitely one of those girls that has a cheerful personality. Aside from kicking her younger sister in her dream, she apparently idolizes Aria, who is top of the class to the point where she can stop criminals in their tracks without fail. This time, Aria managed to stop a bank robber gang who is trying to escape by boat without any help.

I’m not Doing This Because I Like You or Anything – Thoughts about The Tsundere Archetype

November 8, 2013 by Chikorita157 4 Comments

Artist: tachitsu teto

Believe it or not, one of my favorite character archetypes has always been the tsundere. While I have read other’s opinions about this in the past, I felt the need to share my thoughts since not all tsunderes are created equal and that these characters usually have interesting character development that make them enjoyable.

Dog Days 2 – Episode 1 – The Grand Return

July 8, 2012 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment
They finally reunite…

Last summer, I watched the whole first season of Dog Days while on vacation in two days. Although the story was average, it’s still a fun experience as the characters had enjoyable personalities along with the idea of a friendly war. Despite the mundane ending, it was fun and had charm. With the second season, I expect things to become more exciting as Shinku brings his childhood friend, Becky with Shinku’s cousin, Nanami to that fantasy world.

This was so predictable!

After focusing heavily on the side characters, plot finally returns when Enishi and Takako decides to marry each other. Unfortunately, the planning of their wedding sparks some love triangle drama between Minko, Ohana and Tooru.  Poo has certainly hit the fan for sure!

The iDOLM@STER – Episode 6 – Producer-san’s Panic Attack

August 16, 2011 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment
It seems that Miki completely misunderstood the Producer as usual.

765 Production’s future now looks brighter as Ritsuko’s new idol unit Ryuuguu Komachi got approved with Azusa, Ami and Iori being a part of it. While they work on their gig for their debut on television, the Producer becomes increasingly anxious that it leads us to many unforeseen mistakes.

With the school festival coming in a matter of days, Ohana is very excited about her class’s plan to do a Princess Cafè. For Minko, she takes it a bit too seriously…

The iDOLM@STER – Episode 5 – A Short Summer Vacation on the Beach

August 5, 2011 by Chikorita157 2 Comments
Time for a water gun fight!

Two weeks later, I have finally returned from my rather long vacation after traveling over 3000 miles in the car! While the activity on my blog took a slight nosedive, I have enjoyed my time and now feel refreshed.

Coincidently, I watched the beach episode today with the girls and Producer going on a one-day vacation to relax from the blistering heat amongst the lack of air conditioning. As you expected, it’s time for fanservice!

Ano Hana – Brief First Impressions (Episodes 1 & 2)

August 3, 2011 by Chikorita157 2 Comments


This year, there doesn’t seem to be any shortage of anime filled with drama and tear-jerking moments. Madoka Magica, Hourou Musuko and to a certain extent Hanasaku Iroha have shown us some of the most dramatic scenes thus far. However, Ano Hi Mita Hana No Namae O Bokutachi Wa Mada Shiranai, which perhaps holds the longest title in anime history takes it to an entirely different level with a childhood friend tragedy. (Image Source)

Summer Vacation Marathon – Dog Days Final Review

July 25, 2011 by Chikorita157 3 Comments


Second in the Summer Vacation Anime Marathon, I watched Dog Days, a fantasy adventure original anime made by Seven Arcs, the studio known for their work on Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha. While people find the story to be pretty shallow, I have actually enjoyed this show because of characters, the lighthearted feeling, and various Eastern RPG elements incorporated in the story (Image Source).
