Why is it a bad thing for Slumber Islands to not have buildings? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! For those of you who don't know, in Animal Crossing New Horizons, you can now have Slumber Islands. They're separate from your main island and can be decorated freely. Is what I would like to say, if the creativity wasn't so limited. But one of the biggest problems with these islands, is that you can't have buildings. There's only one building, your house. You can't place other buildings at all. There are no stores, no villager houses, and no empty buildings to place. There's nothing. Since you can only place five villagers that you can't even talk to, it makes the island feel empty and lifeless. It almost feels dystopian walking around on a full island with basically nothing on it. Sure, you can add furniture. But it's not the same. You could also probably make false buildings yourself for a city setting, but it still feels empty. It's just disappointing, and I know a lot of other fans think so too. 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 be talking about the downsides of Slumber Islands in Animal Crossing New Horizons. Slumber Islands are islands you can create that are separate from your original main island. This sounds like a good thing, but there are so many things that are wrong with this. Firstly, you can only have five villagers on a slumber island at one time, and it can only be villagers who have stayed on your island. You can't talk to them, either. The only building on a slumber island is your house, as well. You can only copy custom designs from the main island too, which means you can't download anything new for your slumber islands. Not only this, but slumber islands require a paid Nintendo Switch Online membership, because they can only be accessed on the internet. All in all, there's even less creative features available for slumber islands. This is a huge disappointment, and I don't think they'll ever fix it. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

What time is it? Post time! When it comes to anime and videogames, it's really common to see romance in some way. And although I know this is an unpopular opinion, I think romance isn't necessary in most cases. Anime or videogames that are centered around action or fighting don't need to be derailed by sappy, complicated, awkward moments. Sometimes it's nice to just watch or play something for the fun of it. Not to mention that adding romance to things causes shipping wars, which is horrible for the fans. I don't think there needs to be romance if it isn't a romance series. I think if the story is good enough on its own, that's all it needs. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Why do I dislike live action versions of anime? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Firstly, I think live action versions are completely unnecessary. But, they also aren't made for anime fans. Anime fans don't say "wow I love this art style, but I wish it was real people and second class CGI instead". No, the live action versions aren't made for fans, they're made for "average" people. They're made for people who say "anime is nerdy" or "anime is for children". I don't want people like that in the fan base. I don't want these unnecessary remakes. Anime is anime because it's animated. That's the whole point of it. I have never looked at an anime character or story and said "gee I wish this wasn't animated". Live action is duller, it's too realistic, and the CGI doesn't help. I just want regular animation, it's why I watch anime. I don't watch animation hoping one day it'll be realistic instead of what I like. Anime is an escape from reality, I don't want to get sucked back into the real world when I'm watching it. It's for fun, it's a distraction, and I love the art style. I know other people feel the same way I do. But the people who are doing this don't care about anime fans. They care about "normal people". A lot of live action versions have said they're being made to appeal to the "average audience" and not fans of the series. So why do we still put up with this? It isn't even for us. And that's why I hate these live action versions. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's time for another new blog post! Many fans of Animal Crossing New Horizons have wondered how to get special items that you can hold in the game. Items like books, magazines, and other things aren't very easy to get if you don't know where they come from. But the answer is simple, they're obtained from Redd's Raffle. If you participate in his raffle on Harv's Island, you can get things like colored light sticks, books, magazines, drinks, and food. There are a lot of different things you can get from him. It can be frustrating because you can get doubles, but it's also pretty fun to see what you get. You can also get things like bags or purses from Kicks, as well. So if you want items you can hold, this is where to find them. I wanted to talk about this because more people are starting to play the game, and this isn't a very well-known fact. As always, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

 New day, new post! Animal Crossing New Horizons doesn't have very many ways to customize your player character. Even when you buy the extra options with Nook Miles, there still aren't very many. There are barely any unnatural skin tones, there aren't many hairstyles or eye shapes, and the longer you play the more annoying it is. There are wigs, which look nice. But you can't wear hats with them. I feel like it may have been better to include the wigs as more hairstyles instead so they can still be worn normally. It's also lacking a lot of options that are included in other games. There aren't even space buns, which ended up causing a huge controversy in the fandom; since people who wanted space buns were using the afro puffs hairstyle for it, which made other fans upset about it. There isn't even a space buns wig even though it's one of the most popular hairstyles. It's missing so many things, and I hope this is fixed sometime in the future; especially with more people coming back to the game. 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 those of you who don't know, there are bugs you can't catch in Animal Crossing New Horizons. They're cockroaches, and they appear in your house after a week of inactivity. The only way to get rid of them is to squish them, which is done automatically when your player character walks too close to them. When you squish them, it'll make a sound, and a little bug ghost will float away. They show up everywhere, and they can even hide under furniture. This is honestly an annoying feature. If you want the bedhead hairstyle, you have to go without playing for a month. But the bugs show up after a week. So you'll get the hairstyle, at the cost of chasing around and murdering very tiny and hard to see bugs. This game is missing a lot of things, so it feels like a punishment to have this. Some fans think it's funny, but I'm not looking forward to running around and cleaning up my spare house that I use as an activity center. I suppose it's an interesting easter egg, but it'll get old fast when I have to move perfectly placed furniture just to catch all of the bugs. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
