A blog that will cure your apathy and inspire your dreams...
Warning: All who watch anime, play video games, like J-music and K-music, and the like... ARE OTAKU!
I sure do! We were so excited that one special day when we came home from school and our TV was hooked up to a SNES! I remember that day... because it changed my life.
Back in the day you needed one of these to play awesome video games, and used RFU adapters O.O. Not even AV adapters or if you wanted to be HIP, you'd say HDMI is what you use to play your games nowadays...
I just thought it was so crazy to be playing alot of those SNES, PSX, and SEGA games on handhelds... Technology sure went far since those olden days...
Nowadays we can play classics like Breath of Fire, Yoshi's Island, Mario Superstars, Chrono Trigger, Kirby Superstar, Mario 64, Final Fantasy, all on these systems!!!
No more fumbling with the RFU adapter or the SNES!! I think it's good though! I'm not one of those people who'll gripe about not being able to relive the good old days. Definitely, but excuse me I'm going to fire up the SNES to play Goemon...lol!
Hello Vocaloid enthusiasts! Welcome to the second revisiting of Vocaloid music videos, Vocaloid Track of the Whenever I Feel Like It, Season 2! This time around, I'm setting up this series a little differently. That's right folks, there's some substance and structure this time!
The concept...
PV SHOWDOWN!
Every time I feel like it, I'll take two vocaloid songs and have them stand to compare themselves. Great times surely await, as we hear the electric angels of Vocaloid sing with "inhuman" passion.
So for the first section, we'll be comparing a couple Miku songs that compete eachother in terms of age. The first one is a classic song, one of the first 3DPVs and probably one of the most influential songs to Vocaloid's success: Anger!
With it's futuristic feel, it's a great video for those who are being introduced to Vocaloid for the first time. The video itself is about Miku's desire to sing. The lyrics themselves, like most vocaloid songs, are very deep and can be interpreted many ways. It sounds like an amazing song that could be a great opening song for an anime!
"This voice Even if it were to tear apart There are still things That I want to protect To this crazy voice arising I shall consign wings"
The next song has been popular since it's release. This song is very stylish and it's lyrics don't make much sense taken literally, but when you look at the title, Chaining Intentions, they make a little more sense.
The PV for Chaining Intentions is a great representation of MMD and it's influence on Vocaloids. This PV was in the contest "MMD Cup 4" where people make great videos with Miku Miku Dance and showcase their talents! This colorful, brilliant, astract, and interesting PV shows how strongly the competitive spirit affects progress!

This blog, "The Otaku Reviewers", was started in February of 2010 on this very same platform, Blogger. At first, it was a venture into the informational and informal world of comics, anime, video games, and Japanese culture. In other words, just a random blog.
Over time, the founder of the blog credited with the pseudonym "RPGhero" was joined by two fellow bloggers and friends with the names "Chansu" and "Deretsun". Together the three bloggers looked up interesting Japanese culture facts, recommended new anime, talked about their own "otaku" interests, and traveled across the United States to various anime conventions.
There have been off periods when the blog ceased production of content and there have been times when there would be dozens of blog posts per week. The schedule varies depending on the lives of the people behind the alias'. However the pattern is that we always get back into the game with even newer information about Japanese culture, anime, video games, and other nerdy hobbies.
The motto of our blog is:
"A cure for your apathy and an inspiration for your dreams. ...Applies to Otaku, anime fans, J-pop junkies, and the like"
The purpose is to blog about cool stuff related solely to anime and otaku stuff. There's no other reason we're doing this.
If you like our blog, please support us in however small a way that you would like. We appreciate our readers!
