It's the start of mushroom season in Animal Crossing New Horizons! Mushroom season is exclusively in November, and the mushrooms can be used for seasonal DIY recipes. Mushrooms grow at the base of cedar and hardwood trees, and they can even grow around stumps. There's also rare mushrooms, which can only be dug up from a dig spot. Only a few mushrooms spawn everyday, so it's a good idea to collect them whenever you see them. It's difficult to collect enough mushrooms for the fall items and recipes, but it isn't impossible. If you are having trouble, you can always get some from free treasure islands, or by asking other players for help. Since the spawn rate is so low, it's normal to have trouble collecting enough mushrooms for everything you may want to make. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post, and I wish you all luck collecting mushrooms!

It's Halloween!! I know this is an anime blog, but I'd like to do something a bit different this year. Firstly, I'd like to list a few of my favorite animated Halloween movies. Then, I'll be including a link to an electro swing Halloween music mix. I'll also be including pictures of Skully J Graves and Swing from Twisted Wonderland, as well. I had some trouble finding a good picture of Swing, but I think the one I found is official; since it showed up multiple times when I image searched it. Also remember that since today is Halloween, you can trick or treat in Animal Crossing New Horizons until midnight. So, let's get on with it! Enjoy! Happy Halloween!!

Surprise! Have some candy! 

Some of my favorite spooky movies for Halloween:

1.) The Nightmare Before Christmas

2.) Coraline

3.) Corpse Bride

4.) Frankenweenie

5.) Monster House

The electro swing Halloween music (Yes I'm including this because of Swing from Twisted Wonderland, who is cleverly named that because he's based on Oogie Boogie.): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgZfRiNmd3g&t=29s

Happy Halloween Eve!

Why is HiDive less popular than Crunchyroll? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Much like Crunchyroll, HiDive is an anime streaming platform, and it has exclusive series too. But a lot of anime fans don't subscribe to it. So why is this? Well, it's mostly because there's not a lot of content on it. A lot of anime companies would rather stay with Crunchyroll, which is widely known and has a very large amount of subscribers. All anime fans know what Crunchyroll is, and it has a lot of content to choose from. It even has manga and videogames on it now. Because of this, any competing anime streaming platform is going to have very big competition. I was surprised when HiDive started because I knew it would struggle. Many fans think it isn't worth it. I did subscribe to it for a short while after it first came out, but there was a very small selection on there back then. It's been a few years now, but anime fans still say the selection is small because Crunchyroll gets everything. This is understandable since Crunchyroll is literally the original anime streaming service. Before them, there wasn't anywhere for fans to legally watch a large selection of anime content. I do hope HiDive does well, but right now it's still not as popular as the original. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!

Why do so many good anime series go unnoticed? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! There are a lot of unknown anime series that are actually really good. However, they never become mainstream. Why is this? Most of it is marketing. Sometimes companies don't think a show will do well, so they don't spend money on it for ads. This is a big part of why shows go unnoticed. Along with this, sometimes anime fans will pass over it because it's similar to another show. Nobody knows what a show is like until they watch it, but nobody will watch it if they don't know what it's like. This creates an endless circle of anime fans refusing to watch new shows, which is also why so many go unnoticed. Personally, I think it's best to just read lists of new anime series and see what sounds interesting. That way you can discover new interesting shows without spending any money on it. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

What is and isn't canon in long-running series? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! In long-running series like Sonic, Mario, and Pokemon, things can start to get mixed up and confusing after a while. Because of this, it's hard to tell what did and didn't actually happen within the universe. So, I have a few tips. If it's a game series, then shows made for it usually are set in their own separate universes. This goes for comic books, too. As for what is and isn't canon in the games, usually only the mainline games are considered canon. Everything else is either "what if" scenarios, or just for fun. So if it isn't a mainline game, consider it its own universe unless the creators say otherwise. But what if the mainline games are confusing, like with The Legend Of Zelda or Kirby? Well, in those cases, it's best to think of it as happening in separate timelines. It's the same universe, but it happened in a different timeline. This makes it much easier. If a mainline game references a past game, then they might take place on the same timeline, or a similar timeline. This happens because originally, games were usually made to be contained entirely to one story in one game. That way, new games can tell new stories. But that complicates things after a while. This is why I wanted to talk about this, because it makes it all a little easier to understand. Regardless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the secret songs in Animal Crossing New Horizons. There are four secret songs in total. These are Animal City, Drivin', Farewell, and K.K. Birthday. K.K. Birthday is the easiest one to get, you just listen to K.K. Slider's concert on your birthday. But to get the other three, you have to request them. You can request one song at a time, and you request it by talking to K.K. Slider, choosing the option "give me that one song", and then typing out the song. The song has to be requested by its specific name, which means you have to capitalize it correctly, and Drivin' has to include the apostrophe. When you request it, K.K. Slider will act surprised, then he'll play the song for you, and put it in your pocket when the concert is over. I wanted to talk about this because some players still don't know that this is how you get these songs. Regardless, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!
