I'm back once again to talk about a possible second season for The Devil Is A Part-Timer. I know I keep talking about this, but people keep making articles about it; so here I am. The Devil Is A Part-Timer is an anime. It had one season containing 13 episodes, and it has been over for years. Despite this, many fans are still holding onto their hope for a new season. New seasons of older anime series aren't at all uncommon, so it isn't an unachievable task. However, the studio responsible for the first season is currently busy with other works. Although people are hoping a different company will pick the show up, a different studio most likely won't have the same art-style or voice actors as the first one. The best course of action at the moment is to support the content we already have. If the studio who created the first season or someone else sees the anime increase in popularity, someone will most likely want to bring it back. As of right now, it isn't popular enough for anyone to see a second season as a possible success. But, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nevertheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post. As always, I will also be including a picture from The Devil Is A Part-Timer below. Enjoy!

Along with this, this hard wood shell is so strong even a direct hit from a truck wouldn't harm it. The quills on Chespin's head are usually soft, as well. When Chespin flexes its quills, the sharp quills are able to peirce through rock. As always, I will be including a picture of Chespin below so you guys can see what it looks like. Enjoy!

Twitter is playing Pokemon! That's right, someone has set up a crowd-controlled Pokemon Red game on Twitter! But that's not all. This special Pokemon Red game is being played as a Twitter profile picture. This profile picture is refreshed every 15 seconds, and the game itself is controlled by the most common inputs left by the participating Twitter followers. Although the game has been reset a couple of times to fix a few bugs in the program used for the game, the participants are still making quite a bit of progress. This project has already been compared to Twitch Plays Pokemon a few times, but I personally think it's rather different. The game commands are controlled by the most popular inputs, and the fact that the game is being played inside of a Twitter avatar makes it pretty unique itself. If any of you guys would like to see this amazing project, or even participate in it yourselves, I will be including a link to the Twitter account below. Enjoy!
