Chronicles of Eri: The Road to Rank D
Ever since I got my first bad end in iDOLM@STER Dearly Stars I’ve made great progress on Eri’s story. I redid the audition and this time around I achieved idol rank E. After Eri proved that she could sing she was presented with two more challenges that confronted her new career as a real world …

Yuri on the Chalkboard Week 25
After a short break Yuri on the Chalkboard is back again. This week’s drawing features Shirai Kuroko and her beloved Misaka Mikoto Onee-sama. I’ll hold off my explanation of why I like this pairing since I already wrote a dedicated post just about why I like Kuroko. Original picture below:

My New Heroine Kuroko
Although it’s ten days into October I haven’t really started watching anything from the fall season except one thing–To Aru Kagaku no Railgun. Despite being a fan of Index it wasn’t like I was in any real hurry to watch Railgun until my friend Aorii convinced me to watch it together. What I expected going …

I Can’t Believe I got Bad End with Eri
It seems the appeal of newly acquired games is impossible for me to resist so while taking a break from translating I decided to play a little more iM@S Dearly Stars. Things were going along smoothly in Lesson mode as I trained Eri’s stats so that everything was more or less equal. I also was …

Dearly Stars GET
After exactly three long weeks of waiting I finally got my copy of iDOLM@STER Dearly Stars this morning. It’s kind of sad though that now that I finally have it my short break from school is just about over and I’ll be having my second round of exams soon so I probably won’t be able …

Black★Rock Shooter -Pilot Edition-
When I first heard that Black★Rock Shooter, a Vocaloid song, would be getting its own anime next spring I was excited but dumbfounded. How can you base an entire television series on a four minute PV even if it will be predominately action-based? At first I thought that BRS would feature the Vocaloid cast in …

I Love Moe Mahjong Anime ‘Saki’
It’s been a long time since I’ve written a full end-of-series impressions post but after completing Saki I feel the absolute need to do one. Now that I have come to the hopefully temporary standstill on my journey with Kiyosumi High School’s mahjong club I can finally say that I fully enjoyed the adventure. I …

Fall 2009 Anime Watch List
Since there’s about a week or two until the fall season starts, its time for the usual roundup of shows I’ll be looking forward to. I tried to keep the number of new shows low so I can finish the stuff I’m already watching but things don’t always work out for me that way. Anyway …

Professor Discovers Yuri on the Chalkboard
Today was supposed to be an unexciting Sunday spent studying for my neuroscience exam Tuesday but something surprising happened. I got a text message from one of my friends at about 7:15 pm telling me that he was at his computer science study session in the same room I host showings for my university’s anime …
