The Anime Place

Why are animated video game adaptations usually more popular than live action ones? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! When it comes to video game adaptations, usually animated versions go over better with fans than live action ones. This usually depends on the type of game. For example, if a game looks more like an anime or cartoon, people often don't want to see it in live action. But if it already looks realistic, people don't mind it being live action. This is because many people play games because of the art style they use. I prefer the anime art style, so I would want the movies or shows based on the game to have the same art style. I don't play games with a certain art style so I can imagine what they would look like as real people, just like I don't watch anime so I can imagine what they'd look like as real people. Many other fans feel the same way, which is why they usually dismiss live action versions before they even come out. There are a few exceptions to this, but for the most part, fans prefer animation. I don't think the companies making the adaptations care about what fans prefer, but I wanted to talk about this anyways. Regardless, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

3, 2, 1, post time! For a long time now, fans have been unhappy with a lot of the newer Pokemon games. They all seem repetitive at this point, and it takes way too long for mainline games to be released. So at this point, is it worth it to be a Pokemon fan? There are so many Pokemon competitors that are, in some ways, better than the actual Pokemon games. There are games with more stories, more interesting monsters, different mechanics, and they often listen to their fans. The question is, do we still like Pokemon because it's good, or just because it's nostalgic? I think if Pokemon doesn't keep up with other games, it'll just continue to lose fans. I don't want this to happen, since I do still like Pokemon. But I also hope it'll get better to keep the fans entertained. Regardless, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will once again be talking about Animal Crossing New Horizons. Recently I've talked about why it bothers me that villagers can't wear pants. This post will be similar to that. However, this time I'll be talking about outfits. There are outfits in the game that are full body outfits, which means they're shirts and pants together. However, when you give one to a villager, it turns into a dress when they put it on. This bothers me, because I would've loved to see villagers wear things like overalls, onesies, or suits. But instead they turn into dresses even on the boys. It honestly looks a bit silly, and it just further shows why villagers should just wear pants. I really hope they fix this in the future. I personally don't understand why it was made this way. It must've been much harder to turn outfits into dresses, especially since they had to make new designs for each one. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! One of the things that bothers me in anime is when a young character turns into an entirely different character when they grow up. There have been a lot of times when a younger teen or child character looks and acts completely different after they become an adult. Yes, people change. People grow up and mature, but they're still the same person. They should grow up gradually like people do in real life, not all at once. There's also nothing wrong with a character still looking young and not fully grown after they turn 18, since 18 year olds often still look young. Another thing that bothers me is when an adult character looks young and the creator ends up making them look completely different in future games or animations. This usually happens because fans complain about it, as if adults are not allowed to look young. I know anime isn't always realistic, but I think it has a problem with young characters and young looking characters. I know this is only going to get worse, especially since people label anyone young looking as bait; which just creates more problems for real people who look young naturally. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's Easter! That means it's Bunny Day in Animal Crossing New Horizons! However, that also means it's time for this year's special post! I was going to list some bunny Pokemon for the holiday. But when I looked into it, there aren't very many bunny Pokemon to choose from. This is surprising to me, since rabbits are actually really popular animals even in Japan. So instead, I'll only be listing two bunny Pokemon for the holiday. Enjoy! Happy Easter everyone!

Is anime for adults? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Many people say anime is for children and teenagers, since many series center around teenagers. However, there are a lot of different anime these days. There's even anime and games meant specifically for adults. No matter how old you get, there's usually anime available for you. Along with this, many newer anime and games feature characters that don't age, so you'll never really get too old for them. Some series even age up their characters as their audience grows. You don't have to be limited to younger characters when there are a lot of other things to choose from. Not only this, but even series like Pokemon have started including older adult characters for their older fans to enjoy. Personally one of my favorite series that features an older protagonist is That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime. It's a funny series, and the main character is now about forty years old, including his previous life. So as long as you like anime, you'll be able to find things to like. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

New day, new post! Recently I talked about the fact that villagers can't wear pants in Animal Crossing New Horizons. To be more specific, they can't wear pants, shoes, or socks. I think the reason this bothers myself and other fans is because other characters do wear them. I think it would be less weird if none of the animals could wear pants or shoes. But since some characters do wear pants, skirts, or shoes, it makes the villagers stand out in a bad way. It makes the other characters look more natural while making the villagers look out of place. Since villagers can wear shirts, dresses, hats, glasses, and other accessories, it feels odd to draw the line at pants. I would even understand them not wearing shoes, but to make it so you can give villagers pants, skirts, and shorts even though they can't wear them feels like the wrong choice. I hope one day they'll fix this in the future, but for now I don't like it. Regardless, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
