It's post time! The main problem I have with the game Date Everything is the amount of content there is in one playthrough. Not only is there way too much to do, but if you end up with any bad endings, it takes a long time to fix it. This can get really boring and eventually it feels less like playing a game and more like finishing a chore. However, you can have more than one save file. So if you're impatient like I am, you can start over. But! This only works if you don't have autosave on. If you have autosave on, you'll save right over your original save file. So don't do that. Unless you really hate your first save file for some reason. There are a lot of available save slots, so you can do as many playthroughs as you want, or you can try different branching paths instead. I recommend this if you're feeling trapped in a playthrough, or if you're getting bored of it. Regardless, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

What are space buns? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Space buns are a popular Japanese hairstyle, but they didn't originally come from Japan. It's more likely they were made in China. However, they've become very popular in Japan, especially in anime and cute culture. In Japan, they're not called space buns. The term "space buns" came from America, and was likely named that way because of Star Wars. But in Japan, they're called odango, which is closer to being called a dumpling. This is because the buns resemble dumplings. It can really refer to any bun hairstyle in Japan. But in this context, it's usually referring to the two symmetrical buns on top of the head. They're considered very cute, so they've become popular in anime. This means they're popular in the anime community, too. I wanted to talk about this because people talk about space buns, but they don't really know what they are. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! Recently I got an ad for a game called Self Care Vampire. This app is still in development, but I still found some information about it. It's a self care app that doubles as a dating sim, and it's to help encourage users to take care of themselves. It's early access right now, but I was interested in trying it anyways. However, it actually isn't available for any of my devices, so I can't give a review of it at all. I hope this changes when it's fully released, because it does look really interesting. It's only available for mobile, but I'll be including the link for the official website below for anyone who may be interested. Enjoy!

It's post time! If you watch the English dub of some anime series, you'll notice that the theme song and end song are also in English. This was common in anime for children, but some more mature anime series also did it. However, recently this isn't as common, and it rarely ever happens now. I'm sure this is because it costs money to make English versions of the songs. But personally, I think more people would be interested if there were English versions of the songs. Of course I mean an English translation of the original song, I don't think two dubs of the same anime should have two different songs. But I do think making English versions of the songs would draw in more people from outside of the anime community. Regardless, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Fragaria Memories is finally getting a game! The game will be called Fragaria Memories: Color Of Wishes. However, it won't be available until fall of next year. Fans have been waiting for this game for a long time now, so it's disappointing to know it still won't be out for a whole year. Some fans have already been complaining about the long wait time, as well. Fragaria Memories has actually become pretty popular already without the game's release, and other Sanrio games like Hello Kitty Dream Village have included items for it. It's still exciting to know the game is almost finished, even if we have to wait another year for it. I've been looking forward to it since they said they were planning a game a few years ago. I do hope it will be available in English when it's released, since there hasn't been any word one way or another about the possibility of an English release of the game. The official announcement does mention a worldwide release though, so I'm assuming this means it'll be released with an English version. Regardless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! Recently there's been a few new games that use an art style similar to Studio Ghibli movies. A lot of people are inspired by Studio Ghibli, and using a similar art style can help something feel familiar and cozy. However, it's important to remember this only works if something is done well. If you just use the art style and don't add enough care to the story or world building, it really only shows you can draw well and that's it. I haven't seen any examples of this yet, so far it seems like games that use an art style similar to Studio Ghibli are well made. But I still wanted to talk about this, because there's a good chance lazy creators will use this art style for cheap cash grabs. A lot of work is put into Studio Ghibli movies, and they're so popular that using the art style automatically draws fans in. So remember, a game or animation is more than just its art style, even if it looks nice. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

3, 2, 1, post time! When the game Date Everything first came out, I made a post saying it was too much money for an indie game, because it costs almost thirty dollars. I said it wasn't worth it because it was a visual novel, and because there were a lot of complaints about it. But now, over a year later, I have to take it back. I think this game is more than worth the price. It is a visual novel, but it's also a free roam game. It has hours upon hours of content to sift through, too. Not only this, but for the first anniversary this year, the creators added new content and fixed all of the biggest complaints players and fans had. I can see now that I was wrong, I was unfairly dismissing it without giving it a chance. The creators clearly care about their fans, and I can tell they put a lot of work into making this game. I can admit when I'm wrong, so I am admitting it. I recommend this game for people who like things like this, especially since you can choose your relationship with all of the characters. It doesn't even have to be a dating sim. But please remember that this game is for adults who are eighteen and older, and it was made with adults in mind. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!
