It's time to post! There are some anime protagonists that are more well-known than the anime themselves. They're usually almost exclusively shonen anime, and the most obvious ones that come to mind are Naruto and Goku. Although this helps people outside of the anime community discover anime, it also causes problems within the anime community. It makes fans say things like "this is good, but it's not as good as this other popular anime", and it makes it difficult for new anime to take off. The most well-known example of this was My Hero Academia. Although it did end up becoming popular, when it first came out it was completely dismissed by anime fans. They called it "Green Naruto" and accused it of being a direct rip-off. People who actually watched the show would know it's nothing like Naruto. But anyone who tried to say this were completely drowned out by the people who were dismissing it. I'm glad to see it managed to overcome this, but not all anime are so lucky. Sometimes genuinely good anime are stomped out of existence before they even get a chance just because it resembles a different more popular anime. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. I wanted to talk about this to bring attention to what a problem it's become in recent years. I hope it doesn't continue to be a problem, because there are some good anime out there that deserve a chance. Regardless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's time to post! Over the years, Disney has had quite a bit of success with blending their classic Disney movies with anime. There have been a few flops, but things like Kingdom Hearts, Tsum Tsums, and Twisted Wonderland have all become very popular within the Disney and anime communities. Because of this, I would love to see more things like this. Art, plushies, merchandise, games, or even movies and shows would be really fun to see. Things like this would have to be made in the Japanese branch of Disney, but I think many fans would love to see this. There are a lot of anime fans who also like Disney, which is why it usually goes over well when Disney creates things like this. 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 wasps in Animal Crossing New Horizons. Wasps are supposed to spawn five times guaranteed on your island everyday unless you don't have enough plain trees, since they only spawn in hardwood or cedar trees. Despite this, I've never had five wasps spawn in one day, even after shaking every plain tree on the island. Sometimes I only have them spawn while I'm gathering wood, even after I've already shaken the tree. Because of this, I find them to be complete nuisances, just like real wasps. I never have enough time to catch them, because you can only catch them if you're already holding a net when the wasp nest falls. If I shake a tree and nothing falls out, I'm obviously not going to be holding a net if I shake the tree a second time. Other Animal Crossing fans swear this doesn't happen, and that the nest falls out of the tree on the first shake every time. But it's just happened to me three times already today, so that's a lie. I wish there was some way to know if a tree had a wasp nest in it already, because right now it's a gamble and I'm always on the losing end. 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 most popular animals these days is the axolotl, which is why it's surprising that there isn't really a Pokemon for it. Yes, of course, there's Wooper; and some people think Mudkip might've been based on an axolotl. But nobody knows if Mudkip is an axolotl, and the only thing that makes Wooper an axolotl is what's on its head. These aren't really axolotls, they're just loosely based on them. I'd like to see an actual axolotl Pokemon someday, not something loosely based on one. There's a lot of potential for a Pokemon like this, and I think fans would love it. There's no reason we couldn't get another axolotl Pokemon either, since a lot of other Pokemon are different versions of the same animal. 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! Today I had the opportunity to try the Witch's Brew Alani Nu energy drink, which is one of the flavors I talked about in yesterday's blog post. It's supposed to be caramel green apple, but I don't taste the caramel at all. It's entirely green apple. Still, I think this is a very good flavor for Halloween. The drink itself is clear, so the color doesn't really matter. But after trying it, I still think it would fit well in Twisted Wonderland. It feels like something Idia Shroud or Lilia Vanrouge would drink. Even though I couldn't imagine Lilia on caffeine, it sounds like a nightmare. Regardless, I think this one would be good for a Disney or Twisted Wonderland theme. I really like the art on the can this year, even if the drink itself is very tart. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! Recently the energy drink brand Alani Nu released their Halloween flavors for this year. There's three flavors this year, Witch's Brew, Ruby Apple, and Voodoo Vanilla. Now, usually I wouldn't talk about this on this blog even if I was interested in it personally. But the art on this year's cans look just like something from Twisted Wonderland. It reminded me of Twisted Wonderland as soon as I saw it, so I wanted to talk about it on my blog today. The flavors are caramel green apple, caramel red apple, and whipped cream with marshmallow vanilla. I'm not sure where to get them, or how much they cost. I just wanted to talk about it because I thought the art on the cans looked like something from Twisted Wonderland. I've tried this energy drink brand before, and I liked it, so I recommend it for anyone who likes energy drinks. However, I haven't tried these flavors yet because they were just released. If you're interested in trying these flavors, remember that energy drinks are intended for people who are 18 and older, who have no major heart or other major health conditions, and aren't pregnant. The caffeine can have negative side effects otherwise. As always, I'll be including a picture of these new flavors below so you all can see what the cans look like. Enjoy!

It's time for another new blog post! When it comes to anime characters who are gamers, otakus, or hackers, it's really common to see them eating junk food and drinking soda or energy drinks. This is why it became really common to see people outside of the anime fandom saying all anime fans are like this. However, since most anime characters aren't like this, it feels wrong for this to become the most common myth about anime fans. Yes, some anime fans are like this, and I can understand why they make gamer characters like this since it's common in that community. Maybe it's because anime and videogames cross over frequently, so anime fans and gamers are seen as the same thing. It's hard to tell. I just wanted to talk about this because a lot of people think anime fans are really unhealthy and gross, but so many people are fans of anime these days that there's no way everyone can be like this. Regardless, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
