It's post time! If there's one thing The Pokemon Company is known for, it's trying to stop people from copying them. However, this is really hypocritical. Pokemon copies stuff for their games all the time. Even Pokopia recently stole things from Minecraft. It isn't inspiration if you're taking well-known features from popular games. It's normal for games to use things from other games, but it's not okay for The Pokemon Company to do it. Why? Because they steal things from other games and then threaten legal action when other companies try to make similar games. It's a bad look for their company, and it makes people feel like they can't make anything even a little similar to Pokemon games. The Pokemon Company has taken down fan games, tried to copyright game mechanics, and even sued other creature collector games. But they think they're allowed to steal Minecraft and Animal Crossing if they put a different skin on it. I haven't seen anyone else talking about this, and I'm not sure why, because it's a pretty big issue. If they keep doing things like this and getting away with it, they'll only get worse. But, 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 mushrooms in Animal Crossing New Horizons. Mushroom season is one of my favorites in the game, so I'd like to talk about the mushrooms. There are five mushroom types in total. These are the elegant mushroom, skinny mushroom, round mushroom, flat mushroom, and rare mushroom. Four of them can be found growing on the ground at the base of plain trees. This means they grow next to cedar trees and hardwood trees, or next to hardwood stumps and cedar stumps. However, rare mushrooms grow underground instead, and they have to be dug up. The mushrooms can be used for cooking recipes, and item recipes. They can only be collected in November, and there's a lot of different recipes they can be used for. Along with this, the item recipes can be obtained from balloons or message bottles, and the cooking recipes can be obtained from villagers. I hope this little guide will be helpful for newer players! Happy mushroom hunting!

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

Skully and Swing:

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!
