Vintage Apple Cider: osu! Impressions
http://vintageapplecider.blogspot.com/2011/11/osu-impressions.html
Saturday, November 5, 2011. I've heard about osu! For a while now. While I love music fervently, my heart was already taken by the Project Diva. Series of rhythm games. Unlike many other rhythm games, which mainly focus on throwing out notes on the beats at the song's tempo, and adding more and more notes on half-beats, quarter-beats, &c. as the difficulty rises, Project Diva. S pattern actually match the song! I would like to start off by saying that osu! That said, osu! Is definitely not perfect, and i...

Vintage Apple Cider: August 2011
http://vintageapplecider.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 4, 2011. This one's definitely different from all the other anime/manga out there. When talking about Kodomo no Jikan. The most important thing to get out of the way is to mention that it contains copious amounts of loli fanservice, i.e. little girls engaging in suggestive behavior. This alone dissuades many from watching it, as it did for me initially. However, Kodomo no Jikan. As much as I would like to analyze Kodomo no Jikan. I guarantee that you will find more than you expected.

Mouretsu Uchuu Kaizoku (Bodacious Space Pirates). I'm sure some of these will turn out to be not as good, and some series not listed here will turn out to be amazing.

Vintage Apple Cider: Kara no Shoujo
http://vintageapplecider.blogspot.com/2011/09/kara-no-shoujo.html
Thursday, September 8, 2011. Another genre missing in the West, and which is often misunderstood, is that of eroges, which short of erotic games. True to their name, these games contain sex scenes. However, many eroges are also visual novels, and in fact graphic depictions of sex are often much less important to the plot, so much so that many such visual novels get family-safe versions, with only the sex scenes cut out. Which translates into The Girl of the Shell. Like most visual novels, Kara no Shoujo.

Vintage Apple Cider: November 2011
http://vintageapplecider.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 18, 2011. Another anime season; too many shows, not enough time? Don't worry, most of them are rehashes of the same show over and over again. Thankfully, there are a good handful of shows that are truly interesting and definitely worth watching; in fact, this is probably the most original season for a good while now. Mawaru Penguindrum (continuing from last season). Last Exile:Ginyoku no Fam. Saturday, November 5, 2011. I've heard about osu! S pattern actually match the song! Is a good r...

Vintage Apple Cider: July 2011

Sunday, July 31, 2011. Grave of the Fireflies. Grave of the Fireflies. Is a very old animated movie set during World War II about a boy and her sister struggling to survive. Despite its obscurity at the time of its release, it has since gained more well-deserved recognition from a wider audience. Because of its history, Grave of the Fireflies. Already has a lot of written reviews and summaries, so I won't bother with either; you can read Roger Ebert's here. From Wikipedia, with citations:. However, direc...

Vintage Apple Cider: Project Diva Extend
http://vintageapplecider.blogspot.com/2012/01/project-diva-extend.html
Sunday, January 15, 2012. Hatsune Miku: Project Diva Extend. Is the third game in the Project Diva. Series of rhythm games, although it is really more of an expansion for the second game. As the second sequel for a rhythm game, the only real expectation is for new content, but Project Diva Extend. Went beyond that and improved upon many flaws in the previous game and is a good example of how to develop sequels for games in mature genres with little room to grow. As a series does really well, and Extend.
