3, 2, 1, post time! Today's blog post will be about the Hisuian form of the Pokemon Zorua. Hisuian Zorua is a normal/ghost-type Pokemon, and it is the pre-evolution of the Hisuian version of the Pokemon Zoroark. This Pokemon was reborn out of sheer spite for humans and other Pokemon, and it was chased away because of its illusions. After being driven out from its home by humans, it migrated to the cold mountains. However, it could not survive the new climate. Because of this, Zorua was reborn as this new ghostly form. Hisuian Zorua also feeds on its victim's terror, and it uses its illusions to scare people who are alone in the mountains. As always, I will be including a picture of Hisuian Zorua below so you guys can see what it looks like. Enjoy!

What time is it? Post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about ball jointed dolls. Although these dolls aren't really anime related, they are a bit popular in the community. Ball jointed dolls are small dolls with big eyes that are often made to look realistic. There have been some that were made to look like anime characters, too. These little dolls have many details and are almost fully articulated. Their arms, legs, heads, and joints can move. They also come in a few different sizes, ranging from a few inches to a couple feet. They're often made in China and Japan as well, and homemade dolls can take quite a lot of time and effort. As a little bonus, I will be including a picture of a Hatsune Miku ball jointed doll below so you guys can see what they look like. Enjoy!

It's time for yet another new blog post! So for today's blog post, I will be talking about the player birthday event in Project Diva F 2nd. For those of you who don't know, Project Diva F 2nd has birthday events for all of the Vocaloids. To trigger them, you just log into the game on their birthday and go to the room of the Vocaloid who is having a birthday. You can also trigger the event by giving them a cake. But if you log in on your own birthday, nothing happens. However, that isn't the end of it. You can actually buy a birthday cake for yourself in the in-game shop. Then, you just give it to the Vocaloid of your choice. That Vocaloid, along with one other, will then present you with the cake and wish you a happy birthday. The first time this happens, it will unlock the event for you in the album. Although this is just a small little event, I still think it's a neat addition to the game. It's fun to trigger the event, and I personally enjoy having my favorite Vocaloids wish me a happy birthday. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

New day, new post! The blog post for today will be about Hayao Miyazaki's retirement. I have seen multiple articles say Hayao Miyazaki will be coming out of retirement for "one more movie". However, this isn't the first time this has happened. Hayao Miyazaki has retired many times now, and each time he comes out of retirement to make another movie. Although this is most likely just because he loves making movies for Studio Ghibli, it also means this shouldn't come as such a surprise. Whether this retirement is permanent or not this time remains to be seen. But, it wouldn't be too much of a surprise if he wanted to make another movie in the future. I personally don't mind either way. If he wants to retire, he should. But if he wants to make more movies, then he should do that. Whatever he chooses to do, any new movies he chooses to make shouldn't be considered his "final movie" until he retires for good. But, that's mostly just my opinion. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! So for today's blog post, I will be talking about something in the Genshin Impact community. Here's the thing, everyone is too mean to Timmie. He's just a little boy who loves his birds and misses his absent father. But, the community has taken to torturing him for no reason other than sheer spite. This shouldn't be a surprise though, since the Genshin Impact community is notoriously cruel. They mock Zhongli for being melancholic, they mock Xiao for eating snow and closing himself off, and they mock Diluc for being an orphan. They complain about everything they don't agree with, as well. So, I suppose it's no surprise they pick on children too. Maybe the fandom is just like this because the characters aren't real, but I don't really recall other video game fandoms being quite as mean. Of course all fandoms have their mean points, but I see Genshin Impact fans make dark jokes quite often. But, the Timmie abuse is what confuses me the most. I mean, why would they see a sad child and immediately want to make it worse? I just don't get it. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on the topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's Thanksgiving! So for this year's annual post, I will be listing three anime characters who eat a lot; along with a picture of each. Since Thanksgiving is all about the food, I figured this would be an appropriate subject. Thanksgiving is also an American holiday, so finding anime content for it can be a bit challenging. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoy this post! Now then, on with the list! Happy Thanksgiving!

1.) Naruto Uzumaki from the Naruto series


2.) Natsu Dragneel from Fairy Tail


3.) Monkey D. Luffy from One Piece

Will dendro content be added to Genshin Impact soon? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Although dendro is one of the elements in the game, there isn't very much content for it. However, fans think this will soon change. This is because of a new leak that has surfaced. The leak states that in the 2.4 beta, there will be two new elemental reactions. Along with this, these new reactions will be called Overgrow and Overdose. The names alone make it seem like these will be dendro reactions, and it's giving fans hope for the 2.4 update. But, leaks have been wrong before. Even if this leak is real and these really are new dendro reactions, it could still be quite some time before we get a playable dendro character. Almost all leaks should be taken with a grain of salt; especially since things can change in the future. But, that's just my opinion. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

What should be considered canon for the Death Note series? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! For those of you who don't know, there are many things that are considered to be part of the Death Note lore. There's the original manga, the anime, live action Japanese movies, a stage play, light novels, and the American live action adaptation that shouldn't exist. But, how much of these should actually be considered canon? I personally believe things that follow the original feelings of the stories and characters should be considered canon. For example, the Los Angeles BB Murder Cases novel. Even though it wasn't written by the original creators, it still has the same feel. The characters are the same, and nothing feels out of place. Of course the original manga should be considered canon as well, along with anything the original creators make for it. The anime should also be considered canon, too. However, other things that don't really fit the original story shouldn't be considered canon. Anything that has the characters acting differently or anything that doesn't follow the original story isn't really Death Note at all anyways. Unless they build off of the original with their own story and characters. In which case, that should be considered canon unless the creators say otherwise. Either way, I suppose it's mostly up to personal opinion. These are mostly just my thoughts on this topic, anyways. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

3, 2, 1, post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about my thoughts on Shenhe from Genshin Impact. Although both Yun Jin and Shenhe were announced, I'll only be talking about Shenhe. First of all, Shenhe is not Cloud Retainer. Instead, she's just a human who Cloud Retainer took under her wing. Even though many many fans wanted Shenhe to be Cloud Retainer, I have yet to find anyone who is upset that she isn't Cloud Retainer. Instead, more than half of the fans I've seen are upset about her new design. A lot of fans believe her original design was more unique. But now, her design is just like many of the others. She has the same hairstyle as the Raiden Shogun, her blue leggings are now black just like everyone else's, and her outfit is much more similar to Ganyu's now. Although some fans like the new design, I personally don't. It looks like Mihoyo had an original character, and then just wanted to use pre-made assets instead. Her previous design was more colorful, and she looked nice with flowing hair. But, that's just my opinion. Either way, we have another new character now. Of course we got two new girls, and no one was right about their previous Shenhe theories. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post! As always, I will be including a picture of both Shenhe designs below so you guys can see what she looks like. Enjoy!

The original design is on the left, and the new one is on the right.

This is my 1,900th blog post! So for today's special post, I will be listing 19 Ham-Hams I like from Hamtaro. Although these aren't necessarily my favorites, they are hamsters I really like. This list also won't really be in order. Hamtaro is one of my favorite shows as well, so I figured it'd be a good topic. Now that that's out of the way, let's get on with the list! Enjoy!

1.) Hamtaro

2.) Oxnard

3.) Bijou

4.) Boss

5.) Maxwell

6.) Snoozer

7.) Cappy

8.) Panda

9.) Sandy

10.) Penelope

11.) Pashmina

12.) Dexter

13.) Howdy

14.) Stan

15.) Jingle

16.) Elder Ham

17.) Lapis

18.) Sabu

19.) Pepper

It's time for a post! For today's blog post, I will be listing three Mystic Messenger characters who are hard workers; along with a picture of each. Although all of the characters work pretty hard, I wanted to list a few who are almost always working. So, let's get on with the list! Enjoy!

1.) Jaehee


2.) 707


3.) Zen


Friday, November 19, 2021

It's list time! So, the blog post for today will be a list of three moon pokemon; along with a picture of each. There isn't really a reason for this list. I just like moon Pokemon. These aren't necessarily my favorites, either. Just a few I like. Now then, let's get on with the list! Enjoy!

1.) Lunala


2.) Cresselia


3.) Lunatone



Thursday, November 18, 2021

It's time for another new blog post! So for today's blog post, I will be talking about four anime characters I strongly dislike that other fans generally like. I will also be giving the reasons for disliking the characters, and saying what show they're from. Keep in mind these are also just my opinions. Now then, on with the post! Enjoy!

1.) Chiho Sasaki from The Devil Is A Part-Timer - Chi is supposed to be cute and bubbly and quirky, but really she's just awful. She's possessive and overly emotional and she's just difficult to watch. She's one of the only anime characters I can't stand.

2.) Sasuke Uchiha from the Naruto series - Everyone loves him. Why? He really doesn't deserve it. He's arrogant and selfish, and he never faces any consequences. He has gotten people killed and used everyone as pawns because he was mad at his brother. Absolutely ridiculous. He didn't deserve a happy ending.

3.) Lucy Heartfilia from Fairy Tail - She's annoying. She's loud, and aggressive. She's also overly emotional and pretty self-absorbed.

4.) Light Yagami from Death Note - Goodness I hate this character. He's egotistical, has a god complex, and is incredibly stupid for someone who's supposed to be smart. Although he's a fan favorite, I can easily name multiple occasions in which he was just being so arrogant that it was almost like he was making mistakes on purpose. Despite this, he's supposed to be a genius. Unbelievable.

Wednesday, November 17, 2021

What time is it? It's list time! So for today's blog post, I will be listing three lazy anime characters; along with a picture of each. Since there are a lot of lazy anime characters, I decided to list a few that I like. These aren't necessarily my favorites, though. Now then, on with the list! Enjoy!

1.) Lucifer from The Devil Is A Part-Timer


2.) Umaru-Chan from Himouto Umaru-Chan


3.) Snoozer from Hamtaro


Tuesday, November 16, 2021

New day, new post! The blog post for today will be about the Genshin Impact manga. For those of you who don't know, there is an official Genshin Impact manga. However, it's currently just a web comic. It is available for free on Mihoyo's official website, and it's filled with game lore. Although it's more of a prequel than anything, it has lore that has yet to appear in the game. Because of this, there are some things mentioned in the game that only really make sense if you've read the manga as well. It isn't entirely necessary to read the manga, but it is a good idea to. Especially since it's free to read. As always, I will be including the link for the English version of the manga below so you guys can check it out for yourselves. Enjoy!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be rating three penguin Pokemon. However, I won't be including Piplup's evolutions. These ratings will also be out of ten, and they're based solely on my opinions. Along with this, I will also be including pictures of each. Now then, on with the list! Enjoy!

1.) Piplup - 10/10 - The original penguin Pokemon. It's very cute and easily one of my favorites.


2.) Delibird - 5/10 - It has a nice design, but I often forget it's even a penguin.


3.) Eiscue - 8/10 - I actually like this one. I also like its little ice block, but it looks kind of weird without it. Its normal head just seems a bit too small.


Sunday, November 14, 2021

It's time for yet another new blog post! So for today's blog post, I will be talking about a somewhat small meme in the Death Note community. For those of you who don't know, the English dub voice actor for L is Alessandro Juliani. Along with this, he was also the voice actor for Julian in the Barbie movie Princess And The Pauper. Because of this, fans have taken Julian's song To Be A Princess and synced it up with L from the Death Note anime. This meme wasn't very widespread, but it did gather a bit of attention. Much like the fact of many Death Note voice actors also providing voices for My Little Pony, many fans thought this fact was just pretty entertaining. This is of course because Barbie and My Little Pony are much brighter and happier when compared with Death Note. There isn't much more to this joke, I just found it entertaining. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post! As always, I will be including a link of L singing To Be A Princess below so you all can see it for yourselves. Enjoy!

It's time for a list! So for today's blog post, I will be listing five purple Pokemon from generation one. There isn't really a reason for this list. These aren't necessarily my favorite Pokemon, either. So, let's get on with the list! Enjoy!

1.) Shellder


2.) Ditto


3.) Rattata


4.) Venonat


5.) Ekans

Should playable characters appear as NPCs in Genshin Impact? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! For those of you who don't know, obtainable characters in Genshin Impact usually don't appear in the game. Characters like Venti, Xiao, Amber, and even Jean can never be found in the game. They only appear during events and story quests before promptly returning to the void. This fact has become such a problem that some fans just don't finish their quests to keep the characters present in their world. This is commonly seen with Albedo's story quest, which people often avoid completing to keep Sucrose stationed at their alchemy table. Although the characters can be added to the Serenitea Pot, this is only if you own them. Many fans think adding the characters to the game would make things feel more lively, and I agree. Adding characters to the game that were intended to be there anyways would make more sense, and it would make things seem more alive. If excluding them is only to make people want them more, then I can personally say that seeing and interacting with the characters makes me want them more than never seeing them at all. Along with this, it would save fans the disappointment of looking for characters that will never be there. But, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. It's rather unlikely Mihoyo will actually listen to their fans and permanently add the characters to the game. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Thursday, November 11, 2021

It's list time! So for today's blog post, I will be listing my seven favorite flowers from Genshin Impact; along with a picture of each. Since I've listed flowers on here a few times before, I decided to list some of my favorites. There are other flowers I like, but these are the ones that I always like seeing while I'm on my journey. They aren't in order, though. I also realize seven is an odd number for a list, I just had a really difficult time choosing only five. Now then, let's get on with the list! Enjoy!

1.) Windwheel Asters


2.) Silk Flowers


3.) Dandelions


4.) Qingxin


5.) Cecilia


6.) Violetgrass


7.) Glaze Lily

3, 2, 1, post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about a strongly disliked character in the Pokemon community. In the original Diamond and Pearl games, there was a Pokemon trainer named Mindy. In the game, you could trade a Medicham for her Haunter. But, there was a twist. After you traded her your Medicham, she revealed that she actually gave her Haunter an everstone; which made it so it can't evolve. Because of this, she became one of the most hated characters in the game. Medicham is a fully evolved Pokemon, but her Haunter couldn't fully evolve. Along with this, she's supposed to be added to the new remakes as well. Although there are some people who like Mindy, most Pokemon fans strongly dislike her because of this unfair trade deal. So, that's the whole story. Mindy is widely disliked because of this one interaction. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Tuesday, November 9, 2021

It's time to post! So, the blog post for today will be about Sasha from Animal Crossing. Sasha is a lazy bunny villager, and he was just recently added to the game. Despite the fact that many people thought Sasha would be a girl, he's actually a boy. He loves taking pictures of himself too, even if he has the same expression in every single picture. Along with this, he takes about a hundred pictures every day. Sasha also has the fashion hobby, and his preferred style is simple and cute. He wears a blue letterman jacket, as well. As always, I will be including a picture of Sasha below so you guys can see what he looks like. Enjoy!

Monday, November 8, 2021

What time is it? Post time! So for today's blog post, I will be listing three Animal Crossing characters I like; along with a picture of each. Since I haven't mentioned Animal Crossing on here in a while, I decided to list some of the characters I like. These aren't necessarily my favorites, though. Now then, on with the list!

1.) Raymond


2.) Marshal


3.) Sasha

Is Katheryne from Genshin Impact a robot? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Although it seems as though Katheryne of the adventurers guild is a human, many fans think she isn't. This is mostly because there is more than one Katheryne; which is seen when Mondstadt Katheryne asks the traveler to deliver a message to the Katheryne in Liyue. Since there are multiple Katherynes, people assume she's actually a robot. It is also because if you stand near her, you can hear her say "error" and "rebooting". Even though the Katheryne in Inazuma mentions teleporting from place to place, she later says that it was just a joke. But, it's difficult to say if she really is a robot or not. Most of the robots we see are the chaos devices like ruin guards, which are nothing like humans. Some people theorize Katheryne is a more advanced robot from somewhere like Sumeru, but there isn't much of any proof of that. But, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Given the information we have now, all we can do is wait until more is revealed about her. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Saturday, November 6, 2021

It's post time! The blog post for today will be about Cookie Run: Kingdom. This game is by Devsisters, and it is from South Korea. Along with this, it was released in January of 2021. Although this game may not be traditionally anime, it is really popular in the anime community. The Genshin Impact fandom has really claimed it, and there was even a collaboration between Cookie Run: Kingdom and Sonic The Hedgehog. This game is a free to play mobile app, and it's a kingdom builder game. Along with this, it also features gacha elements and a combat system. The gacha system also allows you to get new characters, among other things. Even though Cookie Run has been around for a while now, this latest addition is by far the most popular. As always, I will be including a picture of Cookie Run: Kingdom below so you guys can see what it looks like. Enjoy!

Are shiny Pokemon better than their normal counterparts? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Although shiny Pokemon are more rare, does that really make them better? Some people really like shiny Pokemon, and they even spend hours shiny hunting for them. Some shiny Pokemon really are nice, and some can even be better than the original. However, that doesn't mean they all are. When it all comes down to it, they really are just a different color. It may be a neat little accomplishment to have your own shiny Pokemon, or even your own shiny team; but they really are just a different color from their normal variants. They aren't kept a secret, and shiny forms of practically any Pokemon can easily be found with a quick Google search. Happening upon a shiny Pokemon by chance can be exhilarating. But, it feels excessive to spend hours searching for them. Just because they're unique, it doesn't mean they're better than all of the others. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Thursday, November 4, 2021

Are humans and Pokemon the same? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Although I have talked about Pokemon being humans in the past, there still seems to be some uncertainty within the fandom. Even though it has been confirmed in the games and Pokedex entries before, some fans just don't believe it. However, it's true. Humans and Pokemon may not be exactly the same, but some Pokemon are derived from humans. Not only are some Pokemon just directly evolved from humans, but humans and Pokemon used to be very very close. Some Pokemon are still rather humanoid as well, and this can be seen with Gardevoir or Gallade. Along with this, it even states in the Pokedex that Kadabra was a boy with extrasensory powers who woke up one day to find he was a Pokemon. One of the many egg groups in Pokemon is even known as the human-like egg group; which is named that because the Pokemon in it all resemble humans. So although humans and Pokemon aren't the exact same now, there was a time when they were almost identical. Pokemon also seem to have human levels of intelligence and understanding, but that one is just my opinion. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Wednesday, November 3, 2021

New day, new post! Since I talked about things the Genshin Impact fandom pick on Xiao for yesterday, I decided to talk about Zhongli today. For those of you who don't know, Zhongli is known for a few lines. However, one of them is "Osmanthus wine tastes the same as I remember... But where are those who share the memory?". It's a nice, sad sentence that is obviously filled with melancholy. So, the fandom turned it into a meme. It's unclear why they did this, since mourning your lost loved ones isn't usually seen as funny. But, they did. Although it isn't the only morbid joke within the fandom, it is one of the most prominent ones. Other ones are about Kazuha's friend and Diluc's father. Although I'm fine with people making light of dark topics, making so much fun out of a rather serious line kind of rubs me the wrong way. But, that's just my opinion. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Tuesday, November 2, 2021

It's time for another new blog post! So for today's blog post, I will be clearing up a few jokes surrounding Xiao from Genshin Impact. It's true there are a few jokes in bad taste within the fandom, like people making fun of Zhongli for missing his long gone friends. But, Xiao actually has a few of them; most likely because people want to find humor in a serious character. First of all, Xiao isn't an edgelord. People assume this because of his attitude and appearance, but he isn't. He's a serious person who is afraid of attachment and worried he'll accidentally hurt someone close to him. These fears make him distance himself from others, and close himself off emotionally. Secondly, Xiao doesn't like almond tofu because it's sweet. Fans think it's funny that such a serious character likes a dessert, but he actually likes it because it reminds him of the dreams he used to eat. Along with this, he can't stomach other human food. Lastly, Xiao eating snow isn't a joke. He thinks of it as just another food, and people used to eat snow in times of famine. Although it's unclear why he eats snow, it is clear that he has had to eat it sometime in the past and now just sees it as a food. So, I hope this post cleared some things up. Although I only covered three things in this post, that's just because they're pretty much the only things people pick on him for. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's list time! So for today's blog post, I will be ranking Mystic Messenger music out of ten. Five characters, five themes. These aren't necessarily my favorite songs from the game, but I do really like the themes. So, I've decided to rank them. Now then, on with the list! Enjoy!

1.) 707 - Geniously Hacked Bebop - 10/10 By far my favorite. It's happy and boppy and super energetic.

2.) Jumin - Urban Night Cityscape - 9/10 A very nice and calm piece, but it can make you feel pretty melancholic.

3.) Yoosung - Same Old Fresh Air - 10/10 This song is very light and happy, just like Yoosung.

4.) Zen - Narcissistic Jazz - 10/10 This one is also pretty upbeat. It's pretty smooth and fun to listen to.

5.) Jaehee - Lonesome Practicalism - 9/10 This song fits Jaehee just as well as the other themes fit the other characters. It's nice and calm. But, it has the same somewhat melancholic tone that Jumin's theme has.
