PokemonGo and Tomogachi!
What was the real fascination with PokemonGo?
If Pokemon was as great as it was the first time around, you would think that it would be even more popular with the children. It sure was not so, as almost all the new buzz came from Pokemon’s oldest fans. These are the kinds of people who should have joined the ranks of elite CEOs, doctors, and teachers but they were actually late millenials.
What made Pokemon so popular the first time around? Maybe it was the nostalgia and sentimental thrill that it felt to “battle Tomogachi” as those people used to say when they themselves were kids. Back then everyone had a pocketed “tomogachi” finger keychain game on them. The cool thing was that even those tough bullies were so calm, and at peace when they had their “tomogachi” pet with them.
The idea was great, at least for “tomogachi”, everyone could take their mini key chain that had a seemingly living lo-fi grayscale LCD pet inside. At first they start out as a cute blob with two eyes and as time flies in class or home, it becomes older and grows into some kind of J-animal like a video game character and a 1cm by 1cm kitty. The time between these stages of growing up could be a few days or a few weeks. Such cuteness was beautiful to have for such a long time as days and weeks!
Pokemon took a few more years to burst onto the scene. It was totally cool, to battle these hi-powered animals, catch them, and train them for more good times. With an anime and a game it was totally unstoppable. The trading card game was more popular even, than both the anime and the game.
These days, that app and you are the trading card and the popular kings and queens of royalty. Everyone has the app like there’s a bulbasaur in everyone’s bedroom now. You can play it walking or sitting on a train or bus. Then you battle other PokemonGo appers you come across whenever you come across them.
Customizing the trainer’s a plus, so you don’t have to go with just Red or Blue. You can change wardrobes and make your trainer a unique individual. The gyms are when you get close to large, popular places and the pokemon follow the same kind of terrain as on earth, forests and beaches have different pokemon!

Recommendation: Kotoura-San
Winter Season Anime Recommendation
Kotoura-San
First of all, this is an anime recommendation of a new winter season anime. So I can't give you guys any more spoilers than what's in the first episode and I can't review it because it's not finished. The best way to watch new anime though is to go to www.crunchyroll.com where you can watch new anime just as long as you watch small commercials too.
This anime is one of the best of the new season, if you're looking for a slice of life, school days, slight fantasy, love story. We know the type, there's Clannad, Toradora, Angel Beats, etc. This one seems more like Clannad to me though.
That's until she heard the wrong guys thoughts. Actually, she was able to see what he was thinking about her. The picture above is actually one of Manabe's thoughts. Manabe is his name.
Though surprised by his perverted thoughts, she was shocked that he had no feelings of prejudice or hate toward her. In fact most of his nonperverted thoughts are really positive and happy.
Can they really get along with each other? Will they fall in love?
Watch Kotoura-san to find out! I highly recommend it as a new winter season anime!

In Comes The Cold! Winter and Our Love for All Things Otaku! {RSP}
Hey guys! As we are endlessly dragged forward by the relentless flow of time, we see the many colors of life come alive in all seasons… and winter is no exception! We had our fun summer times, and are currently in Autumn (technically)… depending on where you live it could either be freezing cold or brisk and tropical! But either way, winter is an enjoyable time of the year, and what better way to celebrate than with our love for anime?!
But before we get into winter, a short tribute to Autumn in all its otakudom greatness...
[⑨ , I think you're doing it wrong...]
Nothing beats the cold air of the winter! I bet none of you would agree, but it does make for some "breathtaking" pictures! (Get it? … Not funny huh? I don't care >_>) Who'd've thought just standing outside in the cold would look so great?
[As the wise RPGHero once said... "MOE!!!" ^^]
And everyone knows Winter = Christmas! In America Christmas is mostly about the gifts and the tangible franchise of buying everyone you know extravagant merchandise for the sake of living on in Jolly old Saint Nick's name. But in Japan Christmas is mostly about caring for other people (since it has even less of a religious connotation as it does in America… even in America it's dwindling…) and Christmas Eve is even called "Lover's Day"! It may be a long time until Christmas but you can still show the love, right?
Winter is a great time to watch anime. It's always too cold outside to do much and anime is the best thing to do/watch inside right ? Well other than have fun when it snows!!
[Uguu's and Auu's for everybody!]
So as you get ready to enjoy the cold wintry weather, keep your love of anime in mind! It'll keep you warm in the coldest snow storm :P

Welcome to
The Otaku Reviewers
The Otaku Reviewers
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.
