As I said in yesterday's blog post, I will be completing yesterday's list of Mystic Messenger animation memes by listing five more animation memes today. I will obviously be including the links for each animation meme as well. Now that that's out of the way again, on with the list! Enjoy!

Today's blog post will be a list of five Mystic Messenger animation memes, along with a link for each one. Since I haven't talked about Mystic Messenger on here in a while, I decided to make a list of animation memes for it. Although I usually list ten animation memes, I decided to only list five for today to make it easier. I will also be listing five more animation memes tomorrow to complete the list. If any of you are wondering why I don't just list them all today, it's so I can find some new animation memes for you guys so I don't accidentally list the same one twice. Now that that is out of the way, on with the list! Enjoy!

The blog post for today will be a list of five Meiko modules from the Project Diva games, along with a picture of each module. Since I haven't made a list of Project Diva modules in a while, I decided it was time to make another list. Meiko usually doesn't get very much attention either, so I decided to make this a list of Meiko modules. These aren't exactly my favorite modules either, just some of the ones I like. Now then, on with the list!

1.) Strawberry Witch

2.) Fluffy Coat

3.) Noel Rouge

4.) Momiji

5.) Taisho Nostalgia

Well, those are all of the modules I have for now! Nonetheless, I hope you guys still enjoyed this blog post!

For today's blog post, I will be talking about the show Cheer Boys. Cheer Boys is an anime that is based on the manga of the same name. As the name suggests, this show focuses on an all-men cheerleading team called Breakers. However, this show mainly centers around two friends named Haruki Bando and Kazuma Hashimoto. In the beginning of the show, Haruki and Kazuma were originally taking part in judo. But when they decided to quit, they started something quite different; cheerleading! This show follows their journey as they start their own cheerleading team and gather members. Cheer Boys is a slice-of-life anime with some comedy mixed in as well. Even though this show doesn't seem to be very popular right now, I actually would recommend checking it out. It's quite entertaining, and I think it's fun to watch how the story plays out. But if any of you guys want to check it out for yourselves, it's currently available English subbed on Crunchyroll and English dubbed on Funimation.

Today's blog post will be about Ryuzo Sakuma from Cheer Boys. There may be a few spoilers in this post too, so proceed with caution! Now then, on with the post! Sakuma is one of the main characters, and he is one of the members of the men's cheerleading club, The Breakers. Sakuma is a short boy with pink hair, and his nickname is Saku. He is also a bubbly boy who is always polite. Although he will speak his mind if he doesn't agree with someone, he will always be very polite while doing it. He has also taken ballet in the past, which made him very flexible and light-weighted. If he is passionate about something, he'll always give it his all. As a little bonus, I will be including a picture of Sakuma below so you guys can see what he looks like. Enjoy!

For today's blog post, I will be talking about the Pokémon Mewtwo. Mewtwo is a psychic-type Pokémon, and it doesn't evolve. As Mewtwo's name suggests, it is supposed to be a clone of the legendary Pokémon Mew. However, it doesn't seem to know very much about emotions. This is mostly because of all of the experiments that were done on it. Since it has a cold heart, it only focuses on fighting. It is said to have the most savage heart among any of the other Pokémon as well. Unlike most of the other Pokémon, Mewtwo actually has two mega evolutions. These are his X and Y forms, and they can only be done by using either Mewtwonite X or Mewtwonite Y. As a little bonus, I will be including pictures of Mewtwo and its mega evolutions below so you guys can see what it looks like. Enjoy!

Mewtwo's original form.

 

Mewtwo's X Mega Evolution.

 

Mewtwo's Y Mega Evolution.

The blog post for today will be about Toadal Dude from Yokai Watch. Toadal Dude is a water attribute Classic Yokai from the tough tribe. Toadal Dude is a very laid back and nonchalant Yokai who is very free-spirited. He tends to use slang while he is talking as well. He also enjoys eating spicy food, which is a direct contrast from his rival, Arachnus. Much like Arachnus, Toadal Dude was first introduced to the anime in the first Yokai Watch movie. However, he only appeared as a background character. Along with this, he only appeared in the movie for a short amount of time. As a little bonus, I will be including a picture of Toadal Dude below so you guys can see what he looks like. Enjoy!

Would it have been better if Ryuk kept his original design in Death Note? Well that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! There may be some spoilers in this post as well, so proceed with caution! Now then, on with the post! For those of you who don't know, Shinigami were originally supposed to look like "attractive rock stars" in the Death Note series. However, this idea was scrapped because the creators didn't want Ryuk to outshine Light. But would it have been better if it wasn't scrapped? Although a lot of people like Ryuk the way he is, a lot of people also like the idea of what he was supposed to look like. Even though we don't have any official concept art for his original design, some people have created their own version of him. If Ryuk's more humanoid form was official, there's a good chance he would be a more popular character than Light. If all of the Shinigami had more human-like appearances, Light most likely would've had a very small fan-base. Since Light is the main character, it's actually a good thing Ryuk turned out the way he did. But, it still would've been pretty cool to find out Ryuk was just wearing a mask the whole time. As a little bonus, I will be including one of the more popular fan-made designs of Ryuk below so you guys can see what he might have looked like. Enjoy!

Today is Thanksgiving Day! Happy Thanksgiving everyone! As per usual, this means this post will be a special Thanksgiving Day post. Since Thanksgiving is an American holiday, there isn't really any anime that has a Thanksgiving theme to it. However, a couple anime balloons did make it into this year's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade! So, I'll be talking about those instead. For those of you who don't know, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is a huge televised parade held especially for Thanksgiving every year in New York City. As the name suggests, the Macy's company is responsible for this parade. Although most of the floats and balloons aren't based on anime, two of the balloons actually are based on anime characters. These two balloons are Goku from Dragon Ball Z, and Pikachu from Pokémon. Along with this, Hello Kitty often makes an appearance in the parade. But, I didn't see her this year. However, I will still be including pictures of the Goku, Pikachu, and one of the Hello Kitty balloons below so you guys can see what they look like. As a little bonus, I will also be including a Thanksgiving themed anime picture as well. Enjoy!

The new Goku balloon.

 

The Pikachu balloon with a smaller Snow Pikachu.

The bonus Thanksgiving picture (Happy Thanksgiving everyone!):

For today's blog post, I will be talking about Arachnus from Yokai Watch. Arachnus is an Earth attribute classic Yokai from the eerie tribe. Arachnus is the general of the Bony Spirits army in the games. He was originally introduced to the anime in the first Yokai Watch movie. However, he was only a background character, and he only appeared for a short period of time. He has a very serious and down-to-Earth personality as well. Despite this, he seems to be very passionate when it comes to sweets. Along with this, he has no tolerance for spicy foods. As a little bonus, I will be including a picture of Arachnus below so you guys can see what he looks like. Enjoy!

Today's blog post will be about Hovernyan from Yokai Watch. Hovernyan is a rare wind attribute Yokai from the tough tribe. He was originally introduced to the anime in the first Yokai Watch movie. As his name suggests, Hovernyan has the ability to float. He often does what is right and stands up for his friends as well. Although he is very patient, he can easily lose focus and forget about the task he was given. In the movie, Meganyan was revealed to be a blown-up version of Hovernyan. However, he is quite embarrassed of this form. Along with this, Hovernyan has the ability to transform into another version of himself called Darknyan. As a little bonus, I will be including a picture of Hovernyan below so you guys can see what he looks like. Enjoy!

The blog post for today will be about the shiny forms of the Pokémon Gardevoir and Gallade. As you may have guessed, this is a continuation for my post about the shiny forms of Ralts and Kirlia. Because of this, I may be repeating some things over in this post. First of all, the shiny forms of Gardevoir and Gallade keep their blue color schemes, which still blend nicely with the white they already had. However, the mega evolution of Gardevoir is where its shiny forms really shines. Gardevoir's normal mega evolution makes it look like it is wearing a long white gown, whereas its shiny form makes it look like it is wearing a long black gown. This not only makes it easy to tell apart from its normal form, but it also gives it a very unique contrast to its normal form. Unfortunately, Gallade's mega evolution isn't as impressive. Although it still has a very nice shiny form, it pales in comparison to Gardevoir's shiny mega evolution. This is most likely because Gardevoir is more popular, but it's still not very fair. But in terms of normal shiny forms, Gardevoir and Gallade are very similar. As a little bonus, I will be including a picture of their normal forms, their shiny forms, and their normal and shiny mega evolutions so you guys can see what they look like. Enjoy!

Gallade is on the top and Gardevoir is on the bottom. The normal versions are on the left and the shiny versions are on the right. (Note: The mega evolutions of Gallade were accidentally switched.)

For today's blog post, I will be talking about Thornyan from Yokai Watch. Thornyan is a wind attribute Yokai from the Charming Tribe. Much like other cat Yokai in this series, Thornyan looks a lot like Jibanyan. In the anime, Jibanyan turned into Thornyan when he caught a cold. Despite just being Jibanyan with a cold, Thornyan actually looks much different compared to Jibanyan. For an example, Thornyan is covered in spikes. These spikes will shoot out in all directions when he sneezes. If anyone is hit with these spikes, they will grow spikes of their own and catch a cold as well. As a little bonus, I will be including a picture of Thornyan below so you guys can see what he looks like. Enjoy!

This is my 800th blog post! Since the first real blog post (aside from the introductory post) I did on this blog was about Gaara, I decided to re-do that first post. I know it doesn't seem like much for celebrating hitting 800 posts, but I figured it would be a good idea to do that first post over again, especially since it wasn't very good the first time. There will obviously be some spoilers in this post as well, so proceed with caution. Now then, on with the post!

The blog post for today will be about Gaara from the Naruto series. Gaara is the Kazekage of the Sand Village, and he is one of the three Sand Siblings. This obviously means he is the younger brother of Temari and Kankuro. Despite starting out as an antagonist in the original Naruto series, Gaara was soon revealed to be the Kazekage in the beginning of Naruto Shippuden. Gaara was also the Jinchuriki of the One Tailed Beast, Shukaku. He is a strong and cool-headed person as well, and he takes his job as Kazekage very seriously. Gaara also has a symbol on the left side of his forehead. This symbol is the kanji for the word "love". As a little bonus, I will be including a picture of Gaara below so you guys can see what he looks like. Enjoy!

Today's blog post will be about the shiny versions of the Pokémon Ralts and Kirlia. Since there are four Pokémon in this evolution line, I will only be talking about two of them today. Now then, on with the post! Ralts and Kirlia are both popular Pokémon, but are their shiny versions as good as their original designs? A big problem with shiny Pokémon is their color scheme. However, this isn't a problem for Ralts and Kirlia. Both of them have very noticeable color changes, with their new color schemes being blue and white as opposed to green and white. Along with this, their shiny versions look just as good as their original designs. Although there are quite a few Pokémon with less-than-perfect shiny designs, I personally think the designs for Ralts and Kirlia are actually quite good. As a little bonus, I will be including the original and shiny versions of both Ralts and Kirlia below so you guys can see what they look like. Enjoy!

The shiny versions of Ralts and Kirlia are on the left, and their normal versions are on the right.

The blog post for today will be about Yuu Mizuno from Sanrio Boys. Yuu is one of the main characters of the show, and his favorite Sanrio character is My Melody. Along with this, he usually carries My Melody merchandise with him wherever he goes. Yuu himself is a kind person, and he can often be seen with a crowd of girls around him. He also gets along with everyone he meets, and he can easily make friends with others. However, he does have troubles getting along with his sister. Despite trying to be a good big brother, his sister often gets mad at him for liking My Melody. Yuu is childhood friends with Shunsuke too, and he can often be seen spending time with him. Even though he is usually a nice person, Yuu does get agitated easily if someone insults Sanrio. As a little bonus, I will be including a picture of Yuu below so you guys can see what he looks like. Enjoy!

For today's blog post, I will be talking about the Pokémon Breloom. Breloom is a grass/fighting-type Pokémon, and it is the evolution for Shroomish. This Pokémon can quickly close in on its opponents with light footwork. It then throws punches using its extremely stretchy arms. Breloom's fighting techniques are said to put boxers to shame. The seeds around its tail are made up of hardened toxic spores. Because of this, eating the seeds is a horrible experience. If a person were to take a bite of one of the seeds, it would make their stomach grumble. Breloom can also scatter spores from the top of its head. It uses this ability to damage its opponents in battle. As a little bonus, I will be including a picture of Breloom below so you guys can see what it looks like. Enjoy!

Today's blog post will be about the Vocaloid Musaito. Musaito is a fan-made Vocaloid, and he is derived from the official Vocaloid Kaito. Musaito is seen as reclusive because he prefers to spend time alone in his room away from his brothers. He is also a bit rough around the edges, and he can be easily flustered. Despite his character item being a knife, he barely ever uses it. He is known to make witty and sarcastic remarks as well, but sometimes he just makes a fool out of himself. He has a softer side when he's around people he trusts too, and he has even been known to wear his heart on his sleeve when he is around them. This is because he knows he can't hide anything from them. Musaito is 18 years old, and he is 6 feet and 2 inches tall. As a little bonus, I will be including a link for a song sung by him below so you guys can hear what he sounds like. Enjoy!

The link for the song sung by Musaito: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1iJr9zs1dE

The blog post for today will be about the Pokémon Shroomish. Shroomish is a grass-type Pokémon, and it is the pre-evolution of Breloom. This Pokémon lives in damp soil in the forest, and they are often found remaining still underneath fallen leaves. Along with this, it loves to feed on the compost of the damp, rotting leaves. After it rains, Shroomish can often be seen eating the damp compost. If Shroomish is in danger, it will shake its body to scatter spores that come from the top of its head. These spores are so toxic they will make the surrounding trees and weeds wilt. If these spores are somehow inhaled, they will cause pain all over the body. As a little bonus, I will be including a picture of Shroomish below so you guys can see what it looks like. Enjoy!

For today's blog post, I will be listing three more anime references from the show OK KO. Since there are quite a few references in it, I decided to make a list of three more references I found in the show. Now then on with the list!

In this first reference, KO is imagining himself as a magical girl.

 

This anime art style may look familiar, since it's the same as the picture I used of KO in my last list of anime references. Since I included KO in the last post, I decided to include Dendy in this post.

 

In this last picture, Enid is dressed similarly to how the ninjas dress in the Naruto series, complete with a headband and ninja shoes.

 

Well, those are all of the anime references I have for now! Nonetheless, I hope you guys still enjoyed this blog post!

Today's blog post will be about the Alolan form of Sandslash from Pokémon. Since yesterday's blog post was about the Alolan form of Sandshrew, I decided to do today's post about its evolution. So, on with the post! The Alolan Sandslash is an ice/steel-type Pokémon, and it is the evolution of the Alolan form of Sandshrew. This Pokémon is covered in large, sharp spines that are coated in ice. The Alolan Sandslash hides itself in the snow when stronger enemies are around, leaving only their needles exposed. Much like the Alolan version of Sandshrew, the ice that covers the Alolan version of Sandslash makes it much heavier and slower. When the Alolan Sandslash is in snowfields and on ice, it uses its claws to create a path and move around faster. The sprays of snow that come from the Alolan Sandslash's movements are so beautiful that many photographers rush to the snowy mountains to get a photo of it. However, there are dangers of becoming stranded, so it's forbidden for people to climb the mountains without permission. As a little bonus, I will be including a picture of the Alolan Sandslash below so you guys can see what it looks like. Enjoy!

The blog post for today will be about the Alolan form of Sandshrew from Pokémon. The Alolan Sandshrew is an ice/steel-type Pokémon, and it is the pre-evolution of the Alolan form of Sandslash. Sandshrew was originally found in deserts, but frequent eruptions from nearby volcanos forced them to migrate. They ended up moving to snowy mountains, which forced them to adapt to their new climate. The ice shell covering the Alolan Sandshrew's body is hard like steel, which makes it excel in terms of defense. However, the shell makes it so Sandshrew is no longer able to curl up in a ball. It is also a lot heavier and slower because of it as well. But, the claws on its hands and feet make it easier for the Alolan Sandshrew to walk around on ice without slipping. When it wants to move across the ice faster, it slides across on its stomach. As a little bonus, I will be including a picture of the Alolan form of Sandshrew below so you guys can see what it looks like. Enjoy!

Why did Yami only get a little bit of screen time in the movie The Dark Side Of Dimensions? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! There may be some spoilers in this post as well, so proceed with caution! Now then, on with the post! First of all, the ending of the original series made it seem like Yami wouldn't be making an appearance in the movie Yu-Gi-Oh: The Dark Side Of Dimensions. However, the trailers for the movie made it clear that Yami actually would be in the movie. But when the movie finally came out, Yami only appeared for a few seconds. So, why did the trailers even show him if he wasn't going to appear in the movie for very long? I personally think they included Yami in the trailers because they wanted the fans to think he would be coming back. Since he's a very popular character, I'm sure a lot of fans were looking forward to seeing him again in the newest movie. Although there was a good chance he wasn't going to appear for very long anyways, the trailers kind of gave fans of the series false hope. He probably didn't make a very big appearance because the focus of the movie was on the other main characters. The story would've been much different if Yami had been throughout the whole movie. But, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic anyways. Nonetheless, I hope you guys still enjoyed this blog post! As a little bonus, I will be including a link to the first movie trailer below so you guys can check it out. Enjoy!

The link to the first official trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5hx5rvLUN8

For today's blog post, I will be talking about the Duel Monsters cards that appear in the original English dub of the Yu-Gi-Oh anime. For those of you who don't know, the cards in the original English dub for the show were heavily altered. This is most likely because 4Kids didn't want to translate the descriptions of all of the different cards. However, some cards were also censored, which isn't a very big surprise. Instead of translating the descriptions of the cards, all of the text was removed. The text was then replaced with enlarged versions of the attack and defense stats of the monsters. This did cause a few inconsistencies in the show, but the cards have become a very well-known part of the show. In fact, the English dub versions of the cards became so popular that some of the fans have created perfect replicas of them. Because of this, these cards have become very easy to find. As a little bonus, I will be including the original Japanese version and the English dub version of the Dark Magician card below as an example so you guys can see what they look like. Enjoy!

The original Japanese version of the card.

 

The English dub version of the card.

Since I said I would make a list of anime references in Delta Rune in the Delta Rune blog post I did before, I decided to follow up on that with today's blog post. The game has only been out for a little while now as well, so there may be a few minor spoilers for the game in this post. So, proceed with caution! Now then, on with the list!

This first reference is in the beginning of the game. If you talk to Alphys while picking a partner, she'll say this. Since Mew Mew Kissy Cutie is technically an anime, I figured this would be a good start.

 

This next reference is a small doll found in Seam's shop. As you can see, it resembles loli girls sometimes found in anime.

 

This last reference features Mew Mew Kissy Cutie again. As you can see, it is another Mew Mew Kissy Cutie 2 review.

 

Well, that's all I have for now! I know this list isn't featuring any direct anime references, but the game did just recently come out. Nonetheless, I hope you guys still enjoyed this blog post!

It's Meiko's birthday! Happy Birthday Meiko! In celebration of this, I will be listing four English songs and one Japanese song sung by her, along with their links, for today's blog post. I will also be including a picture of her below as well. Now then, on with the list!

1.) Witness

Did Misa Amane kill herself at the end of the Death Note series? Well that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! There will obviously be spoilers in this post as well. So, proceed with caution! At the end of the original series, Misa's fate was left open-ended. However, there is some evidence that her life was cut short. In the official book Death Note 13: How To Read, it lists her death date as February 14th, 2011. Because of this, a lot of fans think Misa committed suicide. Some fans think it's because she couldn't bear to live in a world without Light (it must've been too dark). Along with this, she is seen standing on the ledge of a building at the end of the series. Although her suicide is just a fan theory, it would make a lot of sense. This is because Misa still had a long life ahead of her. Even though she had her lifespan cut in half twice to get the Shinigami eyes, she still had the lifespans of both Gelus and Rem added onto her own life. This in itself would mean Misa had a lifespan that would surpass even a natural lifespan. All of these clues have led people to believe she cut her own life short. However, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. I suppose we'll never truly know if this is true or not unless the creators of the series themselves confirm it. Nonetheless, I hope you guys still enjoyed this blog post! As a little bonus, I will be including a picture of Misa Amane below. Enjoy!

The blog post for today will be about Sandy and Stan from the show Hamtaro. Sandy and Stan are twin hamsters. Stan is owned by Noel and Sandy is owned by Hillary. Although they're twins, they're very different from each other. This is most likely because they grew up in different environments. Because of this, Sandy is a very sporty hamster who especially likes to twirl ribbons. On the other hand, Stan tends to flirt with almost any girl hamster he sees, and he is usually seen carrying his maracas. Stan even flirts with some of the girl Ham-Hams in the clubhouse, which usually causes Sandy to step in. Even though Sandy and Stan are supposed to be identical twins, Stan is sometimes shown to have a cream-colored stomach as opposed to Sandy's white stomach. Along with this, Sandy wears a red ribbon on her tail. As a little bonus, I will be including a picture of Stan and Sandy below so you guys can see what they look like. Enjoy!

Today's blog post will be about the Pokémon Mismagius. Mismagius is a ghost-type Pokémon, and it is the evolution of the Pokémon Misdreavus. This Pokémon can chant incantations. Although it usually uses these spells to torment its enemies, some of the spells it uses can bring happiness. However, most of the spells it uses are harmful curses. But, some people still seek this Pokémon out because it is rumored to be able to cast spells to make people fall in love. Mismagius will usually only cast helpful spells on a whim though. It often appears where you would least expect it as well. As a little bonus, I will be including a picture of Mismagius below so you guys can see what it looks like. Enjoy!

There's a new official Undertale game! Since I have mentioned Undertale on here before, I thought it would be a good idea to talk about the new Undertale game for any of its fans. Not only that, but there may be new anime references in this new game if it's anything like the first game. The new Undertale game, Delta Rune, was released as of yesterday. The first chapter of the game is currently available for free on the official website, deltarune.com (Link). Since it just recently came out, there isn't very much known about this new game. However, a lot of Undertale fans are very excited about its release. Since this is an anime blog, I will most likely be making a list of any possible anime references in it in the future. But for now, I hope you guys all enjoyed this little announcement for the new Undertale game!
