It's post time! Anime fans, and fans of a lot of other things, may be interested in an app called Status. This app uses AI to create a virtual social media experience similar to the original Twitter. You can make posts and message characters, and it is amazingly fun. However, I'm here to tell you, don't bother! You need energy for every little thing you do. There is no free daily energy, there's no way to refill it, and the ads you can watch to get energy hardly ever even load. The ads to get energy are almost never available, but you can be sure the ads that don't reward you will still work to interrupt everything you do. The app runs slower than a snail because it's always loading in pop ups and ads. It absolutely sucks and no one wants to play it anymore. This actually makes me sad, because it is really fun when you can play it. But unless you pay for it, it's unplayable. Pretty much everyone who does play it say this is because the creators are extremely greedy and money hungry; and honestly I can believe it after using it myself. I hope this gets fixed in the future, but as of right now, it's a 3/10. Completely unplayable. 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 be talking about one of the most frustrating things about collecting crafting materials in Animal Crossing New Horizons. I know a lot of fans would say it's the tools, because the tools break. But for me personally, it's the rocks. To collect materials from rocks, you have to hit them with a shovel or an axe. But every time you hit it, it knocks you back. If you get too far away from it, you can't collect more items. So you have to have something behind your character to keep them from moving. However, you can't have it in just one space, because then your character will just get knocked sideways instead. Many people fix this by digging holes around their character. But the materials can't land in holes. Because of this, you're losing out on materials. Rocks aren't like trees, you have a time limit to collect more materials. If you take more than one second to hit the rock again after you start, then you're done collecting materials from that rock for the day. Yes, the whole day. Not only that, but there's also a limited amount of rocks on your main island. So if you want more materials, you have to go to a different island. I absolutely hate this, and I think it's completely unfair that the rocks were made this way. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

What time is it? Time for another new blog post! Recently there have been a few streaming services that are buying the streaming rights for new anime so no one else can stream them. This isn't a new business strategy, but the one who does it most often is Netflix. I actually have a big problem with this. Firstly, Netflix isn't an anime streaming service. So they're luring anime fans onto a platform that could only have one or two things they even like. Secondly, Netflix can cost up to nearly twenty or thirty dollars a month. So you're paying an insane amount of money for a streaming platform that might only have one thing you like. The lowest price is nine dollars but it forces you to watch ads anyways. You shouldn't have to watch ads on something you paid for. Especially if that streaming service doesn't even have very many things you like. Thirdly, Netflix as a business sucks. They've done a lot of things that a lot of people aren't comfortable with. Nobody wants to support a business that's run by awful people. Nobody wants to pay a ton of money to a morally bankrupt company for a small selection of shows they might like. I know other streaming services buy shows to lure people to their platforms. But I'm against Netflix buying anime in particular because they aren't even an anime platform. They're just luring people to a streaming service that should've burned out ages ago. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this. I know I was a bit harsh with this one, but I hope you all enjoyed it anyways.

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about Skelekins. Skelekins aren't Japanese, but I think they match the yami kawaii aesthetic anyways. They're cute little plushies that come with a removable skeleton. When you take the skeleton out, the "skin" becomes a bag instead. You can also flip the bag inside out so it looks like a regular bag. But they're so cute I don't see why anyone would do that! Currently there are eight designs, but more are planned. I really like these little things, I think they're very cute and creepy. They aren't very well-known at the moment, but I think they'll gain popularity soon. As always, I'll be including a picture of the current Skelekins designs below so you all can see what they look like. Enjoy!

New day, new post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about a complicated topic. Recently in the anime community, there's been a lot of femboy and tomboy erasure. It really bothers me, since it's just teaching people they can't be themselves. For those of you who may not know, a femboy is a man who dresses and acts feminine but is still a man. On the other hand, a tomboy is a woman who dresses and acts masculine but is still a woman. But in recent years, if a man is too feminine or a woman is too masculine, everyone says they're secretly trans and they just don't know it yet. It doesn't matter if the character corrects people who use the wrong pronouns, or if the character yells at people who call them the opposite gender. People still say "well all trans people do that before they discover who they really are". This actually started a long time ago with Grell Sutcliff from Black Butler. Grell was never explicitly stated to be a man or a woman because he was fine with both pronouns. He wears a suit and is referred to as a man by pretty much all of the other characters. He does use feminine pronouns for himself, but drag queens and feminine gay men also do that; which made things unclear. But because he was too feminine, fans immediately decided he isn't a feminine gay man and he isn't genderfluid, he's a trans woman. Personally I still use masculine pronouns for Grell because he's canonically fine with both pronouns, even if he usually uses feminine pronouns for himself. But I wouldn't suggest for others to do it because the fans will tear you apart for it. Which is part of the problem. The biggest problem with this is the "I'm right and you're wrong" mindset, and the bullying creators receive if they go against their fans. Oftentimes creators will just cave and give in to fans who won't leave them alone. This isn't fair for anyone. Personally I love how tomboys and femboys are shown in anime, and fans forcing "representation" onto them is ruining the experience for me and everyone else. People need to learn to keep their mouths shut and just accept what they're given, instead of forcing their own thoughts and beliefs onto everyone else. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post! And I hope at least some of you agree with it too!

It's post time! The next season of Twisted Wonderland: The Animation will be released this December! Just like the first season, it will be available on Disney+ once it's been released. Along with this, this season will be focusing on Savanaclaw. The third season is also already in the works, and it will focus on Octavinelle; just like in the game. I've been a fan of this series since before it was even released. I happened to find it only two weeks after it was announced in Japan. So as a long-time fan, I'd like to say I was very happy with the first season! It took some time getting used to the English voices, and I still don't understand why the voice actor for Lilia is doing that silly voice for him. But otherwise I'm really looking forward to the next seasons! As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!

 It's post time! Recently there have been a lot of leaks for the next upcoming mainline Pokemon game, but there's also been a few official teasers, as well. However, I don't think this is enough to keep fans interested. The game is still almost a year away from being released, which is a long time to make people wait. There's also a really good chance we still won't get things we've been asking for for years now, like a new Eevee evolution. So, we have to wait a year for a game that can only be played on one system that most people don't have (the Nintendo Switch 2), and we likely won't get the things we want again anyways. I wouldn't be surprised if this next Pokemon game doesn't do as well as other games. With the long wait time and the unavailability for most people, there's a good chance a lot of people just won't be able to afford to play it; or won't want to play it. Being unable to afford the game or system is fine with Nintendo, since they act like those who can't afford to play their games don't deserve to play them in the first place. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
