How do Fate/Grand Order players know what banners and events are coming up? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! For a lot of games made in Japan or China, English server players usually have to wait a few months to get the same content. Usually it's about six months. Some games release it all at the same time. But Fate/Grand Order makes players wait two years. That's right! Two whole years! Unless something is specifically for that year, like the anniversaries or special events, English server users have to wait two years to get what everyone else considers old news. It would make sense if everything was one year behind, that happens with games like this all the time. But two years is insane! I personally started late, so I didn't know this was a problem until I saw other players complaining about it. But recently I was excited to be able to get Taisui Xingjun from the Leaves Of Evocation shop, only to find out he won't even be added until next April; which is still almost a year away. It's not fair! It's actually extremely unfair, and I'm not the only one who thinks so. 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! Even though it's only July, some stores and people are already getting ready for Halloween! So for today's blog post, I thought I would talk about something creepy. Because of this, I wanted to talk about bug Pokemon! Have you ever noticed bug Pokemon are never creepy? They're cool, or cute, but not creepy. I think there should be creepy bug Pokemon! I'd like to see some ghost-type bug Pokemon, or dark-type bug Pokemon. It would be a refreshing change, especially since there aren't very many of them at the moment. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

New day, new post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about Domo-kun. Domo-kun was originally a brown boxy mascot made for the Japanese channel NKH. He was created in 1998 as well, and he has a large open mouth. In the early 2000's, Domo-kun became extremely popular. His simple design made it easy to use him for pictures, memes, and wallpapers for computers and phones. Eventually Domo-kun escaped Japan and became a mascot for the American scene and nerd culture instead. In this context, he's usually seen wearing glasses. It's amazing how a simple Japanese mascot can become so popular for something completely unrelated to what he was created for. Since Domo-kun is starting to become popular again, I decided to talk about him today. As always, I'll be including a picture of Domo-kun below so you all can see what he looks like. Enjoy!

It's post time! I was having a hard time thinking of what to do for today's blog post. I'm tired, and burned out. But I still want to do my daily post, because I enjoy it. So for today's blog post, I will be listing three pictures from the Chiikawa universe. Chiikawa characters are so cute, and I really like them. There's too much going on in the world right now, so numb your brain and take a break with these cute little guys! Hopefully they can brighten your day too! Now then, let's get on with the pictures! Enjoy!

It's post time! Recently the official Pokemon website changed its user interface. This means things have been moved around. Even though it looks similar, the Pokedex isn't as easy to find. It's been moved from the front page to a menu instead. It's still easy to find, but it can be confusing if you haven't been to the website in a while. Because of this, I wanted to talk about this for more casual fans who don't visit the Pokemon website very often. As always, I will be including the link for the official website below. Since Tanabata was just two days ago, I'll also be including a picture of the Pokemon Jirachi below. Enjoy!

What time is it? Post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about Undertale and Deltarune. These games aren't anime, they're actually in the pixel art style. But they've always been popular with anime fans, and there are a lot of animations and fan art done in the anime art style for these games. But why is this? Well, Undertale and Deltarune have a lot of anime references, both in the games and in the official merchandise. Because of this, anime fans enjoy finding all of the little easter eggs in the games. It's also fun to see games like this make anime references, and both games gained quite a big fan base in Japan as well; which also helped the anime community. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Why were otakus always ridiculed? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Outside of Japan, an otaku is an intense anime fan. But in Japan, an otaku can be a fan of anything. Because of this, spending so much time on hobbies was always seen as a waste. Japan values hard work, so spending time on hobbies instead was looked down on. However, in recent years, Japan has been trying to encourage people to have more balanced lives. So, otakus are being shown in a more positive light. This includes fans of anime, videogames, and anything else. But you'll also still see a lot of anime and manga about overworked and burned out office workers, manga artists, and even game developers. After all, Japan values hard work! Regardless, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!
