Is Malleus Draconia a dragon? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! I will be trying to avoid spoilers though. The subject of what Malleus really is has become a common question within the Twisted Wonderland fandom. Some fans think he's a dragon, while others say he's a fae. The answer is: he's a dragon fae. It has been mentioned, or at least implied, that Malleus Draconia is a dragon fae. It has been outright stated that he is the prince of the fae as well, and it's common knowledge within the Twisted Wonderland world that Malleus is a fae. He's just a dragon fae. Along with this, Malleus is a fae because of Maleficent, who is also a fae. Even though it has never been officially stated what type of fae Maleficent is, it's implied she's also a dragon fae because she turned into a dragon in the original film. Since Malleus is based on (and possibly related to) Maleficent, it makes sense for him to be the same type of fae as her. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. I just wanted to talk about this because a lot of fans think he's a dragon for some reason; even though he's been called a fae multiple times throughout the game. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Sanrio has collaborated with Igloo! Igloo is a company that makes coolers and other things for keeping food and drinks cool while you're out. For this year's Hello Kitty anniversary, Igloo has created two limited edition items. This is a reusable metal can, as well as an anniversary cooler. Sanrio has collaborated with Igloo before, but this time the products are specifically for the anniversary. Along with this, we'll likely see more collaborations throughout the year because Hello Kitty will be turning 50 this year. As always, I'll be including the links for the official Igloo cooler and the can below so you all can see them for yourselves. Enjoy!

What makes a shiny Pokemon bad? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Pokemon fans love shiny Pokemon, and there's nothing like finding a super rare shiny Pokemon. But let's be honest, some shiny Pokemon just aren't very good. So what makes a shiny Pokemon bad? It's a common belief within the Pokemon fandom that shiny Pokemon are better when they're clearly different from their normal forms. This way you can actually tell when a Pokemon is shiny. Not only this, but shiny Pokemon should keep the same colors throughout their evolutionary line. It doesn't make sense for the shiny Pokemon to have one color for its first evolutions and then change drastically. So a shiny Pokemon is considered bad when it doesn't look very different or when the colors don't match. Some shiny Pokemon also just don't look very good in general. But, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. I wanted to talk about this because there are actually quite a few shiny Pokemon that fans don't like at all. Regardless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Are Jessie and James in love in Pokemon? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Out of the whole Pokemon anime series, the longest standing ship in the fandom is Jessie and James. However, I don't think they're in love. Many people argue that they are married in the manga adaptation, but that version is different from the anime. In the anime, they seem to just be close friends. Even the Japanese voice actors recently said that they believe Jessie and James are just friends. Of course that doesn't mean this is true, but Team Rocket works well as a team because Jessie, James, and Meowth all work together. I don't think they would work as well if Jessie and James were together. Since there aren't many shows where men and women are just friends, Jessie and James are also pretty good representation of a nice platonic relationship. Sometimes a man and a woman are just friends, and their genders shouldn't decide if they get to be friends or something more. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Where is Night Raven College? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! For those of you who don't know, Twisted Wonderland is a Japanese game. But even though the characters speak Japanese, they aren't in Japan; or whatever is the equivalent of Japan in Twisted Wonderland. This is made apparent whenever something Japanese or Chinese appears in the game; since characters usually say things like that are from the East. Even if this was something added in the English translation, it's important to note that the characters don't have Japanese names; they have English names. Night Raven College and Royal Sword Academy also have English names. So, where are they? I think they may be from around Europe. This is because the main Night Raven College building resembles the castles seen in England and France. This would make sense, considering Twisted Wonderland is based on classic Disney films, and most Disney films are based on European stories. Because of this, I believe Night Raven College is somewhere in Europe. To be a little more specific, it may be somewhere around England. But, that's just speculation. Regardless, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Wednesday, January 24, 2024

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about Rook Hunt from Twisted Wonderland. Rook Hunt is one of the most mysterious characters in the game. He's from the Pomefiore dorm, and he's based on the Huntsman from Snow White. However, there isn't very much known about him. He's elegant, dependable, and he loves beautiful things. He's a hunter as well, and he can often be seen sneaking up on the other students and popping up randomly. He treats nearly everyone like his prey, and he seems to know a lot of things he shouldn't. He keeps to himself, and he doesn't usually tell anyone anything about himself. Because of this, even the main character of the game doesn't know very much about him. Rook is a very unusual character who seems to be hiding something; which makes him pretty interesting. As always, I'll be including a picture of Rook Hunt below so you all can see what he looks like. Enjoy!

Where is Hatoful Boyfriend Mirror? I've asked this question a few times now, and there still hasn't been any recent news. It's been months since the game was even mentioned at all. However, that does imply that it's likely still in production. It's been years since the last Hatoful Boyfriend game was released, and there hasn't even been any new manga for it in a long time. Despite this, Hato Moa still releases a new picture for each characters' birthday. These pictures usually get quite a few likes and comments, as well. But it isn't a lie to say the Hatoful Boyfriend fandom is smaller than ever these days. A heavily delayed game like Hatoful Boyfriend Mirror doesn't help either, since fans haven't been getting very much new content. Even with the release of new merchandise in the official Hatoful Shop, other merchandise has been removed despite there being such little merchandise as it is. As of right now, no one knows when Hatoful Boyfriend Mirror will come out; if it is ever even released at all. Personally I still hope it will be released one day soon, but the lack of information and long passed release date doesn't look very promising. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. I wanted to talk about this because I've noticed Hatoful Boyfriend fans have been getting a bit bored with the current state of things, and it's a bit worrisome. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post.

The Twisted Wonderland update is live now! A lot of new features have been added, as well. Voiced voice lines have been added to the guest room, as well as the option to choose the background music for the guest room. There are also special lessons now too, which allows you to have ten special lessons a day. You can skip ten lessons a day now too, which lets you get the rewards from ten lessons without sitting through the cutscenes. The shop user interface has been changed as well, and there is an ongoing Second Anniversary Event that has a Labwear Grim card. If you log in for the Second Anniversary, you'll also receive special log in rewards. This is one of the biggest updates in a while, so I really recommend checking it out for yourselves. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Twisted Wonderland is getting an update! For its upcoming anniversary, Twisted Wonderland will be getting quite a bit new features. Most of these new features will be for the guest room, such as voiced voice lines and new portraits. But there will also be a few other things. This includes a skip lesson button, and retry tickets for battles. I recommend reading the whole announcement in Twisted Wonderland, which was announced in the game recently. There are a lot of upcoming things, so be sure to read the whole announcement! I just wanted to mention some of the new features on here for those of you who haven't seen it yet. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be listing three of my favorite anime games that aren't Japanese; along with a picture of each. There are a lot of different anime games, but not all of them are from Japan. So, I wanted to list a few of them today. Now then, let's get on with it! Enjoy!

1.) Genshin Impact


2.) Mystic Messenger


3.) Blush Blush

Is there anything wrong with dark Pokedex entries? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Pokedex entries have been getting darker and darker with each new Pokemon game, and fans have been surprised by how dark some of them have gotten. But, I don't think there's anything wrong with this. A lot of Pokemon fans are adults now, and the games have always had some pretty mature elements sprinkled throughout them. Most kids don't read the Pokedex entries anyways, and young kids likely wouldn't understand most of the things mentioned in them. Adding more mature things to the games encourages older players to keep coming back, and sometimes it even draws more people to the games; since it makes the games seem less like they're just made for children. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. I just wanted to talk about this because people are always surprised to see just how dark Pokedex entries have been getting recently. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Thursday, January 18, 2024

It's time for a list! Today's blog post will be another list of short boys. Welcome to the short boy club! A lot of my favorite characters are short, so I wanted to list a few of them today. I'll only be listing three for today's post, along with a picture of each. So, let's get on with it already! Enjoy!

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


2.) Lilia Vanrouge from Twisted Wonderland


3.) Near from Death Note

It's post time! Have you ever wanted to play Splatoon, but all you had was a PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5? Well, now you can! Kind of. Square Enix has announced a new game called Foamstars, which will be released next month. This game is similar to Splatoon, but it isn't an exact copy. You can play as eight different characters, and it will be an online multiplayer third person shooter. In the game, you have to cover the area in colored foam to win. This is similar to Splatoon using ink. The characters and settings of Foamstars are very colorful, and the designs are similar to futuristic cyber fashion. I recommend checking this game out, instead of just writing it off entirely as a Splatoon clone. As always, I'll be including the link for the official website below. Enjoy!

Are humans Pokemon? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! I've actually talked about this topic on my blog before. But for those of you who don't know, there's a common theory in the Pokemon fandom that humans are actually Pokemon. This theory has pretty much been confirmed throughout the years, since there are Pokemon that were confirmed to be humans at some point, and there's also very human-like Pokemon. It's said that there was once a time when there wasn't even much of a difference between humans and Pokemon at all. But, how are humans Pokemon? Most humans don't have any special powers, and there are a lot of Pokemon that are nothing like humans. The answer is: evolution! Not the normal Pokemon evolution, but moreso the evolution found in our world. It's a common belief that every living animal-like creature in the Pokemon universe was actually a Pokemon. This is similar to our world, where humans are evolved from other animals. Because of this, it's likely that the humans in the Pokemon world are still Pokemon in some way. They just evolved differently than the other Pokemon. Some Pokemon trainers can even talk with their Pokemon, or develop special abilities; so it isn't too much of a stretch to say they're just evolved from Pokemon. It's also important to note that Pokemon are very intelligent, much like humans are. So the only thing separating them intelligence-wise is their ability to speak. But, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. I wanted to talk about this again because I see this pop up every so often, and fans still seem pretty confused about it. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's time for a list! For today's blog post, I will be listing five of my favorite free-to-play games. There are a lot of games out there, but not all of them cost money to play. Sometimes the best ones don't cost anything at all! So, I wanted to list some of my favorites today. Now then, let's get on with the list! Enjoy!

1.) Twisted Wonderland

2.) Mystic Messenger

3.) Obey Me

4.) Genshin Impact

5.) Love Unholyc

Is the main character of Twisted Wonderland a boy? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! But first, there will be minor spoilers for the story! So proceed with caution! Now then, let's get on with it! The gender of the main character has come up a few times within the Twisted Wonderland fandom. Most fans have decided the main character is a boy. This is because the main character of the official manga is a boy. There are also some little hints to it within the game, such as Crewel calling the main character a good boy, as well as Ace and Deuce offering to let the main character stay in their dorm with them when the Ramshackle Dorm was taken over. However, I disagree. I personally believe the main character of the game isn't specifically a boy or a girl. The in-game MC is different from the manga MC. Not only this, but it wouldn't make sense to make a game somewhat aimed towards girls feature a boy MC. Although Twisted Wonderland isn't a dating sim, it is still aimed towards girls more than it is aimed towards boys. So to allow everyone to play, the MC isn't given a gender. This way we aren't too disconnected from the story. It wouldn't be too out of character for Crewel to call everyone a good boy either, and gender in general wouldn't change the story that much in any way. There's a chance the MC was put in the Ramshackle Dorm to begin with to keep them away from the boys, but it could also just be because they couldn't be sorted into an existing dorm. We'll never really know. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Saturday, January 13, 2024

It's post time! Today's blog post will be about Cat Snack Bar: Cat Food Tycoon; or just Cat Snack Bar for short. This game is a free-to-play cellphone app, and it was made by the South Korean company Treeplla. This game is an adorable little idle game where cats run restaurants. You can upgrade the foods and other things to max out your restaurant. Once a location has reached its full level, you'll be able to move on to the next location. It's a very easy game that continues collecting in-game money even while you aren't playing. It isn't too overwhelming, and it's fun to play if you have some extra time. It also has adorable little cats; which is always a plus. I do recommend this game if you want something relaxing to play. As always, I'll be including a picture from the game below. Enjoy!

Friday, January 12, 2024

Will Spyro be getting a new game? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Firstly, I know Spyro isn't from Japan. But, it was released in Japan, so I'm counting it this time. For those of you who don't know, rumors about a new Spyro game have been circulating around the internet recently. This is for two reasons. The first reason is a cryptic tweet that was posted on the official Spyro account. The second reason is an in-game achievement called "Party Like It's 2024". 2024 is the year of the dragon, so it would make sense if there was a new Spyro game announced this year. However, I think it's a bit silly to get excited about a single tweet that says "You gotta believe". It's good to be hopeful for a new game, and it would make sense for a new game to be released this year. But as of right now, I don't think we should assume a new game is coming out just yet. As always, I will be including the link for the official Spyro tweet below so you all can see it for yourselves. Enjoy!

Thursday, January 11, 2024

It's time for another new blog post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about why Okosan is objectively the best character in Hatoful Boyfriend. To make this easier, I will be listing the reasons below so the blog post doesn't get too messy. So, let's get on with it!

1.) He has no human avatar, which makes it easier to concentrate on who he is as a person.

2.) Okosan is based on a real bird.

3.) He has an elegant and mature way of speaking.

4.) He's easy to understand.

5.) He always knows what he wants (which is pudding).

6.) He has a nice voice.

7.) He's a good friend, and dependable.

8.) He's athletic.

9.) He's always quick to act.

10.) He doesn't let anything keep him from his goals (pudding).

As you all can see, there are many reasons why Okosan is the best bird in Hatoful Boyfriend. This is only a fraction of everything that makes Okosan the best. Of course this post is a bit of a joke. I like the character of Okosan, and I don't often see people talking about him. So I decided to do a post about him today. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post! And as a little bonus, here's a picture of the man himself! Enjoy!

Where is Hatoful Boyfriend Mirror? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Hatoful Boyfriend Mirror is going to be the third game in the series, and it was supposed to come out years ago. The story is going to be set in a mirror timeline, as well. We've actually seen a glimpse of this timeline in Holiday Star, as well as the official Kazuaki-kun book. However, technical issues delayed its release. It has now been a few years, and it was starting to look like the game would never be released. Despite this, there have been a few somewhat recent updates within the last year. Hatoful Boyfriend Mirror has experienced many delays, technical issues, and setbacks. But, it seems like Hato Moa is still working on the game in her free time. There hasn't been a set release date for it yet, and it's unclear how far into the production the game really is. Other than this, there hasn't really been any updates for Hatoful Boyfriend Mirror. Hopefully we'll hear something about it again soon; especially since fans have been waiting quite a while for it now. I know this post doesn't really give any sort of new update or information, but I'm just working with the little amount of information we have. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Tuesday, January 9, 2024

It's time for yet another new list! For today's blog post, I will be listing five blonde anime characters. But unfortunately I won't be including pictures today, due to some technical issues. It's actually not too difficult to find blonde characters in anime, so I wanted to list a few of my favorites today. Now then, let's get on with the list! Enjoy!

1.) Kazuaki-kun from Hatoful Boyfriend

2.) Mello from Death Note

3.) Deidara from Naruto Shippuden

4.) Mitsukuni Haninozuka (Honey Senpai) from Ouran High School Host Club

5.) Dainsleif from Genshin Impact

Monday, January 8, 2024

It's time for a list! Today's blog post will be a list of five long-running anime series. Some anime don't do very well, and some anime do a little too well. So for today's blog post, I wanted to list some of the mainstream anime that have a lot of content. It may not be still ongoing, or it may be split up into different series; but there's still a lot of content. So, let's get on with the list! Enjoy!

1.) Dragon Ball

2.) Naruto

3.) Pokemon

4.) One Piece

5.) Bleach

Sunday, January 7, 2024

It's post time! For today's blog post, I want to talk about Five Nights At Freddy's. So I'm going to talk about that. For those of you who don't know, Five Nights At Freddy's is a popular horror franchise that started out as a simple indie game. Since it's become popular, many games have been made for it; including some that contain anime references. The most well-known one is Ultimate Custom Night, which contains cutscenes that are based on anime. There are two series of cutscenes, one of which features Chica in a yandere-like setting. The other one features Foxy and Freddy in what appears to be a fighting-based anime. These cutscenes are pretty basic, and they tell very simple stories. But it's still pretty cool that they were included in the game anyways. If any of you are interested, compilations of them can be found on YouTube. But for now, I will be including pictures from the game below so you all can see them for yourselves. Enjoy!

Freddy as seen in one of the cutscenes.

Chica and Bonnie as seen in the other cutscenes.

What is anime? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! If you're on my blog, then there's a good chance you know what anime is. Even if you aren't an anime fan, most people know what anime is. But, let's talk about it anyways. Anime started out as just Japanese animation. It was basically just cartoons from Japan. Eventually, the term began to expand. It changed from being Japanese cartoons, to the art style that was most commonly used for this type of animation. Since the term now also applies to the art style, people started calling other things anime as well. Now anime fans also included video games, apps, and animation that wasn't even from Japan. There has been anime and manga from places outside of Japan, with some even coming from America. Personally, I associate the term anime with the art style more than what it was originally used for. This is why I talk about things like Mystic Messenger and Blush Blush even though they're not from Japan. However, I will still talk about some other Japanese animation on my blog even if it doesn't exactly have that art style because that's also considered anime. The term anime has become something much different than it used to be, and now there is anime content from many places in the world. But even if the term now applies more to an art style than the actual animation, everyone still remembers where anime originated from. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!

Friday, January 5, 2024

Why do fans want more Eevee evolutions? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! It's a common thing to see fan-made Eeveelutions on Reddit or Twitter. Eeveelutions are still very popular to this day, and fans are often saying they want more of them. Whenever a new game is announced, fans almost immediately ask for another new evolution for Eevee. But, why is this? Why do fans want more when there are already so many? Well, I think it's because there are so many. When Eevee started getting more evolutions, they were released rather frequently. Eevee is known as the evolution Pokemon, after all. But suddenly they stopped without any warning. This caused fans to become confused, and they started making their own evolutions for Eevee instead. Even now there still hasn't been a new evolution released. If we ever get more evolutions for the other Pokemon types, fans will likely still make their own versions of the Eeveelutions. Eevee is a very popular Pokemon because of its large amounts of evolutions; and Pokemon fans are always hoping for more evolutions for it. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Thursday, January 4, 2024

It's time for a list! The blog post for today will be a list of five Hatoful Boyfriend characters I like, along with a picture of each. This list will be a few characters that I don't often talk about on here. This list will only be adult characters, as well. Just for fun. So, let's get on with it! Enjoy!

1.) Shuu Iwamine


2.) Tohri Nishikikouji


3.) Kazuaki Nanaki (the real Kazuaki-kun)


4.) Hitori Uzune


5.) Azami Koshiba

Wednesday, January 3, 2024

It's time for another new blog post! Today's blog post will be about Waluigi from the Mario series. Waluigi is the tall, purple-wearing counterpart of Luigi, and he acts as his rival. Waluigi usually accompanies Wario is spin-off games, as well. Outside of the Mario canon, Waluigi is very popular within the fandom. He's the subject of many memes, and he can be seen often even outside of the Mario fandom. It's unclear what makes him so popular, but he's become one of the most beloved and recognizable characters in the series. As always, I'll be including a picture of Waluigi below so you all can see what he looks like; even though I'm sure most of you already know. Enjoy!

Tuesday, January 2, 2024

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the original Gyarados design. Recently some Pokemon fans have been talking about the original concept art for Gyarados. The original design for this Pokemon is very different from the design we ended up getting. It looks like a completely different Pokemon altogether, and some fans have said we should get it as a new Pokemon; or as a regional variant. I personally think the original design looks a lot like a tardigrade; otherwise known as a water bear. I wouldn't mind seeing a version of this original Gyarados design sometime in the future, since it's actually pretty cool. Even if some people call it horrifying, we've gotten scarier Pokemon since this design was created. As always, I'll be including a picture of the original design below so you all can see what it looks like. Enjoy!

It's Lilia's birthday! That's right, Lilia Vanrouge's birthday is January 1st. It feels like a good way to start the new year. As with every Twisted Wonderland birthday, this means you can log in today for a special cutscene and a free tenfold key set. There are also banners for two Lilia birthday cards. Since I haven't mentioned this with the other characters yet, I'll say it now. If a character has a birthday, you can go to the in-game background shop and buy the character's bedroom as well. So if that's something you're interested in, don't forget to buy it! As always, here's a picture of Lilia for his birthday. Enjoy! Happy birthday Lilia!
