New day, new post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about Coco from Animal Crossing New Horizons. Coco is one of the most well-known villagers, and she's also considered to be one of the creepiest. She's a normal rabbit villager, and she's supposed to be very sweet. But despite this, her face can be very off-putting. Much like the gyroids, she doesn't have a normal face. Instead, she has gaping holes for eyes and a mouth instead. She also isn't organic, since her ears don't move. This is because Coco and the gyroids are based on Haniwa, the Japanese terracotta figures that were used in Japanese burial rituals. Because of their odd faces and associations with death, these figures have become rather creepy. This makes it even more odd to have included not only gyroids, but also a villager based on these ancient figures. Personally, I also think Coco is a bit creepy, but there's actually quite a few players who love her. As always, I'll be including a picture of Coco below so you all can see what she looks like. Enjoy!

The Twisted Wonderland anime has been announced! Years after the first announcement, we've finally gotten a release date. The first part, Episode Of Heartslabyul, is set to start streaming on Disney+ in October of 2025. Along with this, Episode Of Savanaclaw and Episode Of Octavinelle are set to start streaming after as well. This is almost exactly a year from now, but at least we know when it's supposed to be released. Along with the announcement, we were also given an official picture to announce the upcoming release. We don't know very much else about it right now, but I'm personally really looking forward to seeing this anime finally be released. As always, I will be including the picture for the Twisted Wonderland anime below. Enjoy!

2.) Star Pochette

5.) Fish Pochette

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the pochette bags from Animal Crossing New Horizons. The pochette bags are some of the most common bags to see in the fandom. They're cute, and there's a large variety of them. Fans have even created real life versions of them, as well. In the game, they can be purchased, or made with DIY recipes. There are some you can get from Kicks, there are seasonal ones, there's one you can get from the fishing tourney, and you can even get a recipe for one from Celeste. Because of this, it's no wonder why they became so popular within the fandom. They're pretty simple in design, so they're easy for fans to recreate. They're also rather cute, which makes them even more popular. Since there's so many, it's also fun to collect them. There are about thirteen pochette bags in total, so it would take a while to collect all of them; especially since most of them can only be gotten through seasonal DIY recipes. As always, I will be including a picture of the Maple Leaf Pochette below as an example. Enjoy!

Who is Headmage Crowley in Twisted Wonderland? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Dire Crowley is one of the most mysterious characters in Twisted Wonderland. However, it is known that he at least isn't human. Multiple characters have commented on his age, and a few of them have asked how old he is. Along with this, he has pointed ears, which has been shown to be a fae trait. Because of this, he's likely a fae as well. It's been implied and theorized that he has connections to the Diasomnia boys, but this is yet to be confirmed. It's at least pretty clear that he's a fae, but I don't think that necessarily means he's related to the other fae we know of. Dire Crowley is a very interesting character, and I really hope they expand upon his story and character sometime in the future. As always, here are two pictures of Headmage Crowley so you all can see his ears. Enjoy!

What are the triangle headbands that ghosts wear in anime? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Anime fans may have noticed that ghosts often wear a strange headband with a single triangle on it. Why is this, and what is the purpose of this headband? Well, the headband itself is used to show that a character is a ghost. This is an easy way to show fans that the character isn't human, without having to change the design of the character too much. These corpse headbands are an easily recognizable symbol, so they're common in anime even now. Traditionally, the headbands were a part of how the dead were dressed. Because of this, the headbands have become associated with death, and subsequently ghosts. I wanted to talk about this because it's still a common question in the anime fandom even now, and the answer is actually pretty interesting. As always, here's a picture of Fuyumi Yanagi from Blood Lad wearing a ghost headband as an example. Enjoy!

It's the middle of November. That means winter is quickly approaching. Which also means, the leaves are falling in Animal Crossing New Horizons. Although this is partially just a cute little addition to the island, you can also catch some of the leaves. Every so often, you can find a single maple leaf floating around in place on your island. Just walk up to it and catch it with your net to get one maple leaf. After this, you can use the leaves for different autumn DIY recipes. The leaves spawn relatively often, and they're very easy to catch. So make sure to catch a lot of leaves! There isn't much else to say about this, but I thought it was a cute way to collect leaves for the recipes. As always, I will be including a picture of the collectable maple leaf below so you all can see what it looks like. Enjoy!

New day, new post! For today's blog post, I will be listing three somewhat silly hats I like from Animal Crossing New Horizons; along with a picture of each. I managed to get an imp hood in my game today, so I wanted to list some of the hats I like to celebrate. So, let's get on with the list! Enjoy! 

1.) Imp Hood


2.) Mage's Striped Hat


3.) Tropical Hat

It's time to post! Since the weather is getting colder, I decided to talk about the Japanese Haramaki. A haramaki, or belly band, is a type of clothing that goes over your stomach. It was created to keep your core warm, since that's believed to help keep the rest of your body warm and healthy. They're usually used in late fall and throughout winter, as well. Although I've seen some people say the haramaki is worn under clothes, I've often seen it worn over clothes; so I suppose it just depends on personal preference. I think these little bands are pretty cute and useful, especially since they come in many colors and patterns now. As an example, here's a picture of Zoro from One Piece wearing a haramaki. Enjoy!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about a few things from Twisted Wonderland. I often talk about the fact that Twisted Wonderland focuses almost exclusively on the original Disney films. So today, I wanted to mention two things that were included that are from other related Disney projects instead of just the originals. The first thing, is Malleus' heritage. In the original Sleeping Beauty, Maleficent was never stated to be a fae. This wasn't included until the live action Maleficent movies. Despite this, I think it was a good decision to go with this route, even if Malleus is a different type of fae. Secondly, it was confirmed that Leona is the head of the current Lion Guard. The Lion Guard wasn't added until the show of the same name. Although it doesn't change Leona's character very much, I still think it was a good idea to add this detail. It's a small thing, but I like how it adds to Leona's culture and character. These are the only things I wanted to talk about today, but I still wanted to talk about them because I think they're pretty neat details. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!

It's time for another blog post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about Heen from the movie Howl's Moving Castle. Heen is a dog that often follows around the main characters of the movie. He's a somewhat chubby and lazy older dog, and he sounds like he's wheezing when he barks. Despite this, he's a fan favorite character, and a few different plushies and other things have been made based on him. I personally also really like Heen, since he's very fun to watch in the movie. That's about all I have to say about him, but I still wanted to do a post for him because he's one of my favorites. As always, here's a picture of Heen so you all can see what he looks like. Enjoy!

New day, new post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about Tarantula Island from Animal Crossing New Horizons. Earlier tonight, I managed to finally land myself on Tarantula Island. So, I wanted to talk about it today. Tarantula Island is a naturally occurring mystery island that you can get to with a Nook Miles Ticket. Although the chances of ending up there are low, it's all reward if you do. You can catch as many tarantulas as you can carry without worrying about being bitten. If a tarantula bites you, your character will wake up back at the airplane. Then you can go back to catching the little creepy crawlies. Each tarantula sells for 8,000 bells, so it's a good idea to catch as many as you can while you're there. The island itself is a plain island with a moat in the middle. The moat surrounds another octagon-shaped island where the tarantulas can be found. There are a lot of them running around, and new ones will spawn in if any are lost. Along with this, only tarantulas can spawn on Tarantula Island. As always, I will be including a picture of the island map below. Enjoy!

It's post time! Recently there has been a Japanese song trending on the internet. It's pretty catchy, and it was released just this year. The song is called Hai Yorokonde, and it was created by Kocchi No Kento. Although a Japanese song isn't specifically anime related, it has been trending in the anime community. However, it's also very familiar to a particular group of fans. That's right, this song sounds almost exactly like Gera Gera Po from Yo-kai Watch. Because of this, quite a few Yo-kai Watch fans thought Hai Yorokonde may have just been a remix of Gera Gera Po. Obviously they aren't exactly the same, but the main sections of the two songs are practically identical. This is why I wanted to talk about it today, because I thought it was pretty funny. I don't think it was intentional, but it's still funny to hear another Japanese song that sounds so similar to the Yo-kai Watch theme. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be listing five popular anime that I personally haven't watched yet. These anime are still very popular right now, so I wanted to list a few that I haven't watched, but I'd like to watch. These are all newer series, along with one popular classic anime that's also on my list. Now then, let's get on with the list! Enjoy!

1.) Oshi No Ko

2.) Chainsaw Man

3.) Spy X Family

4.) Bungo Stray Dogs

5.) Attack On Titan

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about something that bothers me in Hatoful Boyfriend. But first! There will be spoilers. So proceed with caution! For those of you who don't know, Kazuaki-Kun is the real Kazuaki Nanaki. There's not much content for him right now, but what is shown doesn't really show him in a positive light. He's been shown to be a whiny shut-in who cries a lot; and he often says he wants to die, only to immediately change his mind. This makes him seem like a pretty pathetic and overly sensitive person. But personally, I don't agree with this. Kazuaki-Kun isn't a pathetic person. He's a depressed and outcast person who's often ignored and has trouble fitting in. He doesn't really want to die, he's just depressed. Which is why he immediately changes his mind and says it's too scary. He's emotionally fragile because he's depressed, and because he's often stressed. People don't really pay attention to him at all, which is because nobody really likes him. Even Hitori only tolerates him. This is extremely stressful and isolating for an individual, which makes him much easier to upset. Along with this, even in the Mirror timeline he has a lot of trouble. He doesn't really fit in with the other teachers, and even the students often pick on him. He's alone, stressed, likely still depressed, and isn't respected by anyone; including his own students. I think there's nothing wrong with Kazuaki-Kun, he's just misunderstood. I know he does have other fans, but it's just kind of upsetting seeing how he's treated within the Hatoful Boyfriend series. But, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Dream Girlfriend is having a special login event! All you have to do to get the current special outfit is log in everyday for a week. Now, I don't normally talk about these random login campaigns. But the current one is actually pretty special! This outfit is the windy bard outfit. Those of you who are Genshin Impact fans may already see where this is going! That's right, this outfit is based on Venti! It's very similar to his outfit, while still being a bit different. I was very surprised to see an outfit based on a male character in Dream Girlfriend, but it actually looks very good! This isn't an official collaboration, but it's very clear that this is a Venti outfit. I really love how it looks, and I recommend for Dream Girlfriend fans to get it while they can! As always, here's a picture of the outfit! Enjoy!

It's time to post! Today's blog post will be about how to catch a mole cricket in Animal Crossing New Horizons. The mole crickets are a new bug available in November, but they're a very tricky bug to catch. First, you have to listen closely to see if you can hear a cricket. Then, start digging when you find where the cricket is the loudest. Once it's out, just catch it with your net like normal. However! Don't leave any holes uncovered. If you leave any open holes, the mole cricket will climb into one of them and disappear. They'll also disappear like a normal bug if they run for too long. And that's all! They're pretty tricky to find, but very easy to catch after you get them out. Personally I hate having to dig a bunch of holes just to find a bug. Many fans agree with me, as well. As always, I will be including a picture of the mole cricket below. Enjoy!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be listing my five favorite Hatoful Boyfriend characters, along with a picture of each. But first! There will be some characters who are spoilers, so proceed with caution! I've been talking about this game relatively often recently, so I wanted to list my favorite characters. Keep in mind this is just based on my own opinions, and they aren't in any particular order. So, let's get on with it! Enjoy!

1.) Kazuaki-Kun


2.) Nageki Fujishiro


3.) Hitori Uzune (Mirror timeline)


4.) Shuu Iwamine

(It's red paint, I promise)


5.) Tohri Nishikikouji

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about something I don't like about the Hatoful Shop. But first! There will be some Hatoful Boyfriend spoilers in this post, so proceed with caution! For those of you who don't know, the Hatoful Shop is the official shop for Hatoful Boyfriend. There's merchandise for pretty much all of your favorite birdies. Except, for Kazuaki-Kun. Of course there is some merchandise for him, but there's barely any. Kazuaki-Kun is one of my favorite Hatoful Boyfriend characters, so it's really disappointing to see so little merchandise for him. Not only this, but his merchandise is usually more expensive, as well. So even if there is some, most of it isn't really affordable. I understand that he's a secret walking spoiler, but it's still unfair for fans. I hope this is eventually fixed, even if it's after the release of Mirror. I just think it's a bit unfair to make almost all of his merchandise basically inaccessible. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's fall! That means there will be new upcoming anime series being released soon. These series are usually released on Crunchyroll or Hidive, so anime fans should be very excited for the upcoming new releases! Along with this, we're getting a new Death Note game! That's right, a new Death Note strategy game is being released early this month. I'll be going into detail about this game in an upcoming post, as well. Speaking of games, the Playful Land event in Twisted Wonderland is also well underway, so be sure to tune in for that before it's over. There isn't much I have to say in this post, because I just wanted to make a general news post. I haven't done one in a long while, so I figured it was overdue. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! Recently there's been a Pokemon leak making the rounds online showing what Mimikyu looks like without its disguise. Although this leak hasn't been officially confirmed yet, a lot of fans are excited to see what this mysterious Pokemon looks like. However, many fans who have seen it are very surprised by it. I won't go into too much detail because I don't like spreading around leaks. It's a bit unfair to spread around unconfirmed information because it disappoints fans if it's ever changed. Because of this, I won't be including any pictures or links in this post. I just wanted to talk about it because I think it's very interesting if it is official. If any of you are curious, it's rather easy to find more information on Google. But for now, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's November! That means there's more seasonal updates for Animal Crossing New Horizons! Starting this month, there will be new creatures available to catch. There will also be new DIY recipes, as well. The start of November also means there will be mushrooms growing on the island, the Villagers will wear warmer clothes, and the leaves will be changing colors. Along with this, there will now be tarantulas! Catching them is very similar to catching a scorpion, so hopefully some newer players have gotten some practice in. But, that's all I have for now! As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!
