For today's blog post I will be discussing the new Death Note 2017 live action movie. Or rather, the trailer for it. In my opinion, I didn't really like it. Wait! Don't leave yet! I didn't like it because of how the trailer made the movie look. It looks like the new movie is based more on the action scenes rather than the suspenseful scenes like in the manga and Anime, and the actors didn't even vaguely look like the original characters. Now, I wouldn't expect the director to try to find exact doubles of the original Death Note characters, but a resemblance would have been appreciated. I didn't really see them focusing on the more intelligent parts either, but this IS just the first trailer. I do, however, like the choice of having Willem Dafoe do the voice for Ryuk. Although, we have yet to see what Ryuk will actually look like. It looks as though the director is making a completely different movie from the original Death Note, but we won't be able to completely tell until we get some more information. If you guys want to see the trailer for yourselves instead of just seeing my opinion of it, here's the link: https://m.youtube.com/watch?ab_channel=NetflixUS%26Canada&v=zS9UW2xjdqE

The blog post for today is about Saitama from the show One Punch Man. Saitama is the main character in the show One Punch Man. He is very strong,  and he became a hero for the fun of it. However, he has become so strong that it has taken the thrill of being a hero away for him. Saitama doesn't have any hair, either. He claims to have lost all of his hair because of his intense hero training. Along with his strength, Saitama also has incredible jumping power, and he has a remarkable amount of speed. He also lets the villains finish talking before he fights them, and he only cuts them off when they take too long. The only insult that seems to get a reaction from him is when someone mentions his bald head.

Today's blog post is about the Yokai Watch recap videos. The recap videos are short videos that are usually only a few seconds long. They usually spotlight one of the Yokai that was revealed in the last Yokai Watch episode that aired.

As they are just a few seconds long, they do not really tell very much about the Yokai that is being focused on in that recap video. They are uploaded on the Yokai Watch Official Youtube channel after a new Yokai Watch episode is aired.

Today's blog post is about Cosplay. Cosplay is when someone dresses like a character from a game, movie, or show (usually an Anime), and it is very popular among the Anime and manga fans. It can often be seen at Anime Expos or Anime conventions. There are stores that sell cosplay merchandise, or you can try your hand at making your own costumes or accessories. Now, you may ask "What makes a good cosplay?". But, I think as long as you can be recognized as the character you're trying to look like, it's a good cosplay. But, cosplay isn't just about how much you look like the character, you also have to try and get the character's personality right for a good cosplay, especially if the character's clothes aren't exactly special or easily recognizable.
