Chibi Arts Blue Rose Figure Review

When Tiger & Bunny hit, it hit big. And when that happens, a boatload of figures are sure to follow. This time I'll be reviewing the Chibi Arts version of the ever popular Blue Rose!

Tari Tari Final Thoughts--With Extra Cheese

Anime sure loves its high school drama, doesn't it?

Accel World Final Thoughts--I Believe I Can Fly

While this show is fun, it doesn't have a lot of character logic. I'll let you guess which one is more important to me.

Aniblogger Interrogation Game--The Prequel

Image from Pixiv So apparently not only do my internet ninja skills need leveling up, but my social network system needs some tweaking as well. Before I was tagged by these guys, I was tagged twice by Ty-chama of Watashi wa Buchou! and I didn't even notice! In an attempt to make it up to her, I'll be answering both sets of her questions below. Since this is long after the deadline date, nobody is being tagged.

It's funny how a show can turn out exactly the way you expected it would, yet you hold your breath all the way to the end.

Adventures in Escapism: Sword Art Online and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance

 
This is the last time I'm going to write about SAO on this blog, since I think that I've made myself really clear about why I dislike it in terms of how it's handled its characters. However, that wasn't the only reason I dropped the show. For a while, I had a nagging feeling that I'd seen this story before done far better. I wasn't familiar with most of the shows people were comparing SAO to, like the .Hack franchise, so I wasn't sure where this feeling was coming from. Then I realized that SAO didn't remind me of an anime; it reminded me of a game.

Disclaimer: The following post contains spoilers up to episode 9 of Sword Art Online and for the entriety of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. If you are planning on watching SAO without knowing anything going in or care about having the end of a 10-year-old GBA game spoiled for you, then it may be best to skip this post. It's also really long, so I suggest getting a pillow or maybe a favorite drink before proceeding.

Humanity Has Declined Episode 11--So Ronery
