Will there ever be an adult Pokemon protagonist? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! For those of you who don't know, Pokemon protagonists are pretty much always children in the games. This makes sense, since Pokemon games are still marketed towards children. However, with more adults than ever in the fandom, it would make sense for a Pokemon game to finally have an adult protagonist. After all, there is already one Pokemon game that features a grown protagonist: Pokemon Go. Although I don't believe a main-line game would ever feature an adult main character, I think the Pokemon company could definitely make a spinoff game with one. There are tons of adult trainers within the series, and a lot of fans would love to see a grown trainer in a Pokemon game. I think it would be even better if you could choose whether your character is a child or an adult, but that would change a lot in a game's story, so it will probably never happen. Regardless, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. I'd love to see a spinoff game that features an adult main character for the older fans of the series. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's April Fool's Day! So for today's blog post, I'll be listing five games that celebrate April Fool's Day. Although this isn't a very popular holiday, some games still take it seriously. Or rather, not very seriously. I think it's fun to see games that joke around for the holiday. So, let's get on with the list! Enjoy!

1.) Dream Girlfriend

2.) Mystic Messenger

3.) What In HELL Is Bad

4.) Tokyo Debunker

5.) Love Unholyc

It's post time! Since tomorrow is April Fool's Day, I wanted to talk about something from What In HELL Is Bad. But first, minor spoilers ahead, so proceed with caution! Now then, let's get on with it! For those of you who don't know, every April Fool's Day, the small devil from the Red Lump family, Ppyong, temporarily turns into a humanoid devil form called Juno P. He stays like this for the day before changing back into his normal form. Although many fans were surprised to see how handsome he was, it actually makes sense. It was mentioned a few​ times that Ppyong is actually very handsome for his kind, and he's considered the most handsome member of the Red Lump family. Because of this, it would make sense for him to look like this when he gets a humanoid appearance. I think temporarily turning Ppyong into this form is a pretty funny thing to do for the holiday, but it's also nice to see what he'd look like if he was like the other devils. As always, here's a picture of Ppyong and Juno P so you all can see what he looks like. Enjoy!

Fragaria Memories finally has an English website! For those of you who don't know, Fragaria Memories is a Sanrio project that features many pretty boys. These boys are knights, and they're based on Sanrio characters. Although each one belongs to a specific group, they're all based on a different character. I've been following this project since it was first announced, so I'm very excited to see that it's being released outside of Japan. Sanrio has tried something similar to this before with Sanrio Boys, but it ended up fading away pretty quickly. Hopefully this project will last longer, since the characters are well designed and the story sounds very interesting. For anyone else who may be interested in this project, here's a link for the official website. Enjoy!

It's time for a list! Today's blog post will be a list of three dessert Pokemon, along with a picture of each. There aren't very many dessert Pokemon, but I still wanted to list a few because I love dessert Pokemon. For those of you who don't know, these are Pokemon who are based on desserts. Although there's quite a few that are based on foods, ones based specifically on desserts aren't as common. But I still love them! Now then, let's get on with the list! Enjoy!

1.) Slurpuff

2.) Alcremie

3.) Vanillish

New day, new post! The blog post for today will be about the connection between the games Love Unholyc and What In HELL Is Bad (or WHB for short). For those of you who don't know, these two games were both made by the same company, Prettybusy. But it's more than that. If you play WHB, you'll notice they will occasionally mention Unholycs. At first I thought this was a nod to the other game, but it's actually lore relevant. In Love Unholyc, they mention that Asmodeus is the father of all Unholycs. In his first picture that's shown, he looks like he has white hair. But after meeting him, you'll see that he's actually the same Asmodeus from WHB. This means these two games are really from the same universe. I thought this was a neat detail, and it's even easier to see that this is the case in their other game, DokiDoki LoveUnholyc Class. This means that all of the current games made by Prettybusy all exist within the same universe. It isn't really a big surprise, but I still thought it was cool. As always, I will be including a picture of Asmodeus from WHB and DokiDoki LoveUnholyc Class so you all can see. But first, please note that these two games do use different art styles. Enjoy!

Why aren't there more dog Pokemon? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Fans may think there are a lot of Pokemon based on dogs, but a lot of the Pokemon people think are dogs are actually based on different animals. Even though dogs are popular animals, there aren't very many dog Pokemon. In comparison, there are a lot more cat Pokemon. It isn't a very big surprise that there are a lot of cat Pokemon, since cats are really popular in Japan. However, there are a lot of types of dogs that would make good Pokemon. Despite this, I personally think the Pokemon company is trying to be more creative with their designs. There are already a few different dog Pokemon, and after a while it would get repetitive. Although I'd like to see more Pokemon based on dogs, I also understand why they're choosing to space out releasing different types of dog Pokemon. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

New day, new post! The blog post for today will be my thoughts on the Pokemon Gholdengo. Gholdengo is the one thousandth Pokemon, so I decided to give my thoughts on it today. Honestly, I was a little disappointed by this Pokemon. There's nothing really wrong with its design, it's just a bit underwhelming. It reminds me a bit of string cheese. Maybe it's only disappointing because this Pokemon's evolution line doesn't have a middle evolution. It goes right from a cute little Pokemon, to this. I understand that making Gholdengo the thousandth Pokemon is because it's made up of a thousand coins, but this was a pretty big milestone and I think the Pokemon company kind of missed the mark on this one. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post! As a little bonus, here's a picture of Gholdengo. Enjoy! 

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the combat system in Honkai Star Rail. I started playing this game today, and I'm pretty impressed with the combat system. Unlike in Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail is turn based. The use of elements, special skills, and ultimate moves is similar to Genshin Impact, but it's also its own thing. I actually prefer the turn based battle mechanics, and I love that you can still use the ultimate skill even when it isn't your turn. It makes things a lot less stressful, and can give you the upper hand in battle. There isn't too much to say about this, I was just really impressed with how different this game's battles are from Genshin Impact. I really like how it was done, and it's much less stressful than having to chase the enemies around and hoping your elemental burst hits them. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Are there too many Pokemon? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Since the Pokemon franchise has been going for a really long time now, there's a lot of Pokemon to choose from. With over a thousand now, there's something for pretty much everyone. But are there too many? A big part of the Pokemon series is the new Pokemon that come with pretty much every main-line game. New Pokemon mean new fans, but it also keeps the interest of older fans. It keeps people coming back for more, and gives them something to look forward to. Along with this, it makes sense that there's a lot because honestly there's a lot of things to base them on. I don't think there will ever be too many Pokemon, because there will always be something new and fun to see. Even if you don't like all of them, a lot of them have their fans. I think having so many Pokemon keeps fans occupied, while not overdoing it and overwhelming them; especially since they don't include every Pokemon in every game. Sure there are a lot, but that's what makes it fun. Regardless, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about a few more problems I have with Animal Crossing New Horizons. I'll be listing them to make things easier, and I'll only be doing three today. So, let's get on with it! Enjoy! 

1.) You can only use the edit button inside your house, unless you're making an island home on Happy Home Paradise. This one really bothers me, because it shows that the developers could've made it so you could easily edit your whole island and not just your house; they just didn't want to.

2.) Villagers visit whenever. I'm really glad villagers can visit your house, but I wish you could choose to invite them over instead. I find myself avoiding my main room or hitting my edit button as soon as I get inside when I'm busy, to avoid having a villager pop in randomly. 

3.) You can't make villagers' homes bigger. Why even add this feature to Happy Home Paradise if it does nothing on your island? You can't change the size of your own house or your villagers' houses. So you're stuck with small rooms, and your villagers still live in a box.

Is there a problem with having too many characters in videogames? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Having a lot of characters can help a game feel more immersive, while also giving fans an opportunity to find their favorites. However, when there are a lot of characters, it can complicate things. There can be too many characters, which means you won't always get to see your favorites. It'll also be more difficult to get the ones you want, as well. It isn't bad for a game to have a lot of characters, especially since you can use them if you get them through the gacha. But whether you actually get who you want or not depends entirely on the game, and the game's gacha system. I think there should be a balance. There can be a lot of characters, as long as you can potentially get the ones you actually want. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. I just wanted to talk about this because a lot of newer games have been adding a large amount of characters, which can be confusing for new players. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

What is a NEET? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! NEET is a common term within the anime community, and it stands for Not in Employment, Education, or Training; and it's used to describe people who aren't working, training, or in school. Even though it didn't originate in Japan, it's become very popular there because of what it means. Although it's commonly used within the anime community and in anime and manga, it's really considered to be more like an insult. Being a hard worker is important in Japan, so being a NEET means you aren't contributing anything to society. Even in anime, NEET characters are usually looked down on and bullied within that universe. This is because being dependent on someone else is considered a burden in Japan, especially if the person could work if they really wanted to. However, the term NEET in America isn't really seen as an insult, and it's often used by anime fans who don't work. I think it's pretty interesting to see how different cultures view different things like this. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about retro games and their connection with anime. A lot of the older pixel games were made in Japan, so a lot of the official art for them was in the anime art style. Because of this, retro games and pixel designs are still really popular in the anime community. There's even anime games and shows that have characters wearing pixel accessories, as well. This is really common with gamer characters, or shows centered around games. The pixel designs make it really easy to tell when something involves games because of the original retro games. These games also helped introduce Japanese media to other places in a time when this wasn't common. Without the original Japanese games, we wouldn't have nearly as many things as we do now. So, retro games are actually a really big part of our current anime community. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

What's the point of the recycling bin in Animal Crossing New Horizons? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! The recycling bin is a container in the Town Hall, and it's usually empty. However, checking it everyday will reveal that occasionally it will have random items. These items are things that are tossed out by villagers every so often, as well as random saplings, flower seeds, clothes, and trash items. There are even some things that can only come from the recycling bin, as well. Along with this, anything you pick up as the secondary player in co-op will end up in the recycling bin for when you can play on your own account. It's actually pretty useful, and checking it often can reveal some pretty neat things. I recommend checking it every so often, because sometimes you can find something nice. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!

Do Pokemon die? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Although Pokemon are in battles a lot, they only ever faint when you lose a battle. So, can Pokemon die? The short answer is: yes. Pokemon can die. Throughout the games, there have been Pokemon graveyards. There are also Pokedex entries mentioning the death of Pokemon, as well. Along with this, some ghost-type Pokemon weren't originally humans, but different Pokemon. It's morbid to think about, and I understand why they avoided the topic in the games. However, I also understand why they did decide to include it in other games. I think it's pretty interesting how they managed to include the topic of death for older audiences, while still keeping it a little hidden for younger audiences too. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's St. Patrick's Day! So for this year's special post, I will be listing five of my favorite shamrock items from Animal Crossing New Horizons, along with a picture of each. St. Patrick's Day is one of my favorite holidays, which is why I always try to acknowledge it on my blog. So for this year, I wanted to list some of my favorite St. Patrick's Day items, as well. Now then, let's get on with the list! Enjoy! Happy St. Patrick's Day!

1.) Shamrock Soda

2.) Shamrock Sunglasses

3.) Shamrock Rug

4.) Shamrock Wand

5.) Shamrock Hat

It's time for another new blog post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about one of my least favorite things: mystery boxes. For those of you who don't know, mystery boxes are boxes or packages containing things like figurines or other types of merchandise, but the contents of the container are completely unknown and random. There's also usually a special mystery product, as well. They've become pretty popular, but it's actually really common to see anime figures in mystery boxes. I really don't like mystery boxes because I'd rather know what I'm getting and if it's what I want. If anyone thinks it's hypocritical of me to like gacha games but dislike mystery boxes, there's a big difference between the two. Gacha games are usually free to play, you always know what the possibilities are, and it doesn't really cost anything if you don't get what you want. Gacha games usually have reruns of cards and characters. But mystery boxes cost real money for something you don't even get to see. Even if you know the possibilities of what you may get, people usually want a specific thing without getting repeats. I think mystery boxes are just a waste of money, and often ruins what could be good merchandise. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. 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 the problem with big franchises. There are a few series with a lot of content. Things like Mario, The Legend Of Zelda, Sonic, and Pokemon all have a lot of different things. This includes games, shows, comics, and movies. The problem with this is, it becomes difficult to tell what is and isn't canon. Even Twisted Wonderland has already had a few issues with this, since now people think the main character is a boy because of the comics, and it's hard to tell which Disney things are included after Malleus was revealed to be a fae and Leona was revealed to be the head of the Lion Guard. Having a lot of different things to pull from for new things can be beneficial for making those new things. However, too many cooks in the kitchen can spoil the broth. This means having too many people doing too many different things can overcomplicate the series for the fans. It's always nice to have new content, but sometimes it's also nice to stop and ask if something would ruin the series. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's time to post! For today's blog post, I'd like to talk about what Pokemon I'd like to see. Since a lot of Pokemon fans like to make fan-made Pokemon, or talk about new Pokemon they'd like to see, I've decided to do the same. Some of my favorite Pokemon are cute, fluffy ones that don't evolve, or at least stay similar after evolving. It's also nice if they're based on animals, as well. So, I think I'd like to see more cute Pokemon with softer pastel colors, that resemble things like fuzzy pillows or plushies. Maybe a group of small Pokemon that are known for either sleeping, or comforting their trainers. There aren't very many Pokemon that are like this, but I think it would be fun if there were. A lot of Pokemon are designed with battles in mind, but sometimes Pokemon are better when they're just cute companions. But, those are just my thoughts on this topic. I wanted to talk about this because there are so many fan-made Pokemon, so I wanted to talk about some that I'd like as well. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about Chocobos from the Final Fantasy series. Chocobos are large flightless birds that are often used as transportation in the Final Fantasy world. They're usually yellow, but can be other colors. They've become very popular, and are somewhat of a mascot for the games. Although they usually look pretty realistic, they also occasionally appear in a cuter more cartoon-like form. I've always liked Chocobos, and they're really pretty fun to use and watch in the series. They've appeared in many Final Fantasy games now, and even people who have never played the games know what they are. As always, I will be including a picture of a Chocobo below so you all can see what they look like. Enjoy!

It's time to post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about a video I found on the official Duolingo YouTube channel. Duolingo is a well-known language learning program that's widely known through internet memes. It's actually pretty useful, and the official YouTube channel is really fun. It often makes anime and meme references, and recently they posted a short for Miku Day. Hatsune Miku is celebrated on March 9th because she's associated with the number 39. So for Miku Day, Duolingo posted an animation featuring the Duolingo owl dressed as Hatsune Miku. I was pretty surprised by the quality of this meme, so I wanted to do a post about it today. As always, I'll be including the link for the video below. Enjoy!

The Duolingo Miku Day video: https://youtube.com/shorts/CPGXZ_yaQSA

Why haven't we gotten a new Eevee evolution in such a long time? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! A lot of fans think we haven't gotten a new Eevee evolution in a while because we just aren't going to get any more. However, a few leaks have suggested that there was supposed to be a flying-type evolution, but it was never released. This makes sense, considering a flying-type evolution has been teased quite a few times. But if this leak is true, why was it never released? Well, there's a popular theory going around that suggests it was too similar to a fan-made design; so they've had to redesign it too many times. The Pokemon company does seem really interested in making more Eevee evolutions, especially since they've been featuring Eevee a lot more often recently. I think they're just having trouble designing a good one with so many fan-made designs out there now. Hopefully they'll eventually be able to make some good designs and release more Eevee evolutions for the other types. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's Mario Day! For those of you who don't know, Mario Day is a day where Nintendo celebrates the Mario franchise. There's usually quite a few things that are released on Mario Day, like new events and merchandise. Mario Day is actually a big day for Nintendo, since the Mario franchise has always been one of their most popular series. The reason March 10th became Mario Day is because the shortened date (Mar. 10) spells Mario. There's quite a few things Nintendo does to celebrate Mario, so I recommend looking into this if you're a Mario fan. I'll also be including the link for the official Mario website below so you all can check out the different events going on for Mario Day. Enjoy! 

The official Mario website: https://mario.nintendo.com/events/

New day, new post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the free Sanrio calendars. For those of you who don't know, Sanrio has free printable calendars available on their website. A new page is added at the beginning of each month, and they each feature a different character. This month's star is Cinnamoroll. They have the birthdays of each Sanrio character on them, and they also have national holidays. This is a good way for Sanrio fans to have a cute calendar without needing to buy one. They're a little difficult to find on the website, but this is only because the official Sanrio website has quite a few free printables for the different characters. As always, I will be including the link for the official Sanrio calendar pages, as well as this month's calendar page. Enjoy!

The website link: https://www.sanrio.com/pages/sanrio-friend-of-the-month

It's time to post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about TeeTurtle. TeeTurtle is a t-shirt brand that is most well-known for their reversible plushies. Although they aren't exactly anime based, they do have a bit of anime-themed merchandise, and they are a bit popular within the anime community. They've also collaborated with Sanrio to make official Sanrio reversible plushies. I've known about this brand for a while, and I really like their products. They're very cute, and I think they look a bit like chibi characters. The reversible plushies are still unique for this brand, and they have a lot of other cute things now. It's a cute brand with cute merchandise, and I think anime fans would like the art style this brand uses. As always, I will be including the link for the official website below so you all can see it for yourselves. Enjoy!

What time is it? Time to talk about a new Sanrio collaboration! Sanrio is collaborating with the well-known marshmallow brand, Peeps! This is really exciting for fans of these two, which means I'm very excited! The products they've shown so far are very cute, and I really like the way they turned out. I'm a little behind with this news, but I only just found out about it myself. The collaboration features Peeps bunnies, and they're made to look like various Sanrio characters. There's quite a few different ones, and there's a lot of products as well. There are things like plushies, baskets, and keychains. They're also currently available, too. As always, I'll be including two pictures of the different merchandise below so you all can see them. Enjoy!

It's post time! The blog post for today for today will be about the game Pokemon Legends Z-A. This game is set to release simultaneously worldwide later this year, and there's already been a lot revealed for it. I'd like to go in depth about it, but it's a lot for one post. So I won't right now. We've already gotten the starter Pokemon, main character designs, rival designs, as well as several other characters. We've also gotten confirmation of the location, and the use of mega evolutions. Although this is part of the Legends series and not the main game series, it looks like there's actually going to be quite a bit of content in this game. Since a lot of the details have already been revealed, it's hard to say if there will be any new Pokemon added to this game, aside from possible regional variants. As always, I will be including the official announcement page below so you all can read it for yourselves. Enjoy!

What time is it? Post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the bedhead hairstyle in Animal Crossing New Horizons. This hairstyle is by far the hardest one to get in the game. It can only be unlocked by not playing the game for an entire month. Then once you log in, your character will have messy hair before quickly fixing it. But because it takes so long to unlock, that means it's pretty much unattainable for anyone who wants to play the game regularly. Whether it's daily or weekly, a lot of Animal Crossing fans still don't have this hairstyle because it takes so long to get. I think it would've been better if it unlocked after a few days, or a week. A few days would have been the best option, because then you wouldn't miss very much; and could even plan when you want to obtain it based on upcoming events. But making it a whole month means you could miss a lot of things. You could miss out on outfits, special items, fish, bugs, and even seasonal events. It isn't fair to lock a hairstyle behind this much inactivity or time travel, because that means players who want to play regularly will never have it. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

New day, new post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the Nova Light from Animal Crossing New Horizons. The Nova Light is part of the stars series, and it can be made with star fragments. It can be customized into different colors, as well. This light is actually one of my favorite DIY recipes from this series, and I think it goes very well with the Starry Garland. It can be placed on cushions, stools, tables, and the floor, as well. It's not too bright, and they're very nice for decorating your house or island. They're similar in shape to star fragments, too. Oddly enough, a light very similar to this can be found in Lilia Vanrouge's room in Twisted Wonderland. I thought this was a neat little detail, because Lilia is one of my favorite characters, and the Nova Light is one of my favorite lights in Animal Crossing. As always, I will be including a picture of the Nova Light below; as well as a picture of the light found in Lilia's room. Enjoy!

It's Festivale in Animal Crossing New Horizons! Festivale is like a big party, and all the villagers wear special outfits for the celebration. During this celebration, confetti will be falling all over the island. There will be special feathers floating around as well, and you can catch them with your net. There's also a special character who dances in the plaza. His name is Pavé, and he comes to the island just for Festivale. Giving Pavé the feathers you catch will get him to give you special Festivale day items, too. If you can't catch the right feathers, you can trade them with villagers to get the colors you need. Pavé will eventually ask for three rainbow feathers, which will be the end of his requests. However, giving him more feathers after this will get you more of the same items from before. Along with this, the Able Sisters shop will be selling Festivale costumes. I really like the atmosphere of this celebration, and I recommend taking part in it before it's over. It'll be going for the rest of the day, so make sure to check in if you can! As a little bonus, here's a picture of Pavé. Enjoy! 

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about some cute figures I found. These figures are the Pac-Man X Sanrio figures. Each little figure from this collection features a Pac-Man character with a cute little Sanrio twist. There are two Pac-Man figures, as well as four ghosts. Along with this, the Sanrio characters featured are Hello Kitty, Dear Daniel, My Melody, Pompompurin, and Pochacco. The figures I'm discussing today are from the first volume, as well. There is some other merchandise available from this collaboration, but I just wanted to talk about these cute little figures today. I especially like the ghosts, since they look very cute wearing their little Sanrio character hats. These two things actually seem to go together well, and it doesn't look out of place at all. As always, I will be including a picture of these figures below so you all can see what they look like. Enjoy!

What time is it? Post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the Pi Day Pie in Animal Crossing New Horizons. The pi pie is a seasonal item, and it's available in the Nook Shopping section from March 1st until March 14th. This pie is a fun little way to celebrate Pi Day. It has the pi symbol on top as well, and it is a consumable food item. There isn't much to say about this pie, I just like it. It's a cute little surprise for people who like to celebrate Pi Day. As always, I will be including a picture of this pie below so you all can see what it looks like. Enjoy!

Why is it bad for people to make fan-made Pokemon? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Although it isn't bad to make fan-made Pokemon, it actually can be in the long run. Fan-made Pokemon aren't official, but do lower the possibilities for official Pokemon. Basically, making a fan-made Pokemon almost guarantees that a Pokemon like that will never be official. It's a copyright risk, and making a design too similar to an existing one can be like plagiarism. Along with this, the Pokemon company can't just buy designs they really like. This will lead to more fans making more Pokemon in hopes that their design will end up in the series, and doing it this way would be way too expensive. Because of this, making fan-made Pokemon just lowers the chances for official Pokemon. So if you see a fan-made Pokemon, or evolution, that you really like, just remember that the possibility of ever seeing anything like it in the official series has just been lowered significantly. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's time to post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about Dire Crowley from Twisted Wonderland. Dire Crowley is one of the most mysterious characters in this game. A lot of people have a lot of theories about him, but right now not very much is confirmed. But based on what we do know, he does seem to be a fae, which is based on the pointed shape of his ears. A lot of fans also think he's based on Maleficent's bird, Diablo. If he is a fae, and if he is based on Diablo, then there's also a chance he has a connection with the Diasomnia boys. But none of this has been confirmed. In fact, not very much has even been implied. It's a bit frustrating to have such an important character with such little information. I do hope more is eventually revealed about him, because he is an interesting character. But for now, all we can do is take the little information we do have and make our own ideas based on it. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about Amy from the Sonic series. I've never liked Amy in the Sonic franchise, so I wanted to talk about that in today's blog post. Amy originally started out as a background character. Someone to be saved, or a damsel in distress. But with time, she developed a personality. A personality, that I hated. She has a short fuse, she's mean to people (including her friends), she harasses Sonic (even when he rejects her), and she's only nice as long as you're on her good side. I don't care if she's popular, I don't like her. Even in different games, comics, and shows, she still has the same base personality. That personality seems to be "hit things with a hammer and then harass Sonic". If the roles were reversed, people wouldn't think her unwanted advances were charming. They'd think she was a creep. So why is it different just because she's a girl? There are a lot of other girl characters from Sonic that I've always loved, but Amy has never been one of them. Personally, I prefer Cream from Sonic X. She's very sweet, and her little companion Cheese is adorable. But, I digress. Those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. I'm sure a lot of people would disagree with my opinions, but that's okay. Regardless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

New day, new post! The blog post for today will be about the game Nekopara Catboys Paradise. This game is part of the popular Nekopara series, except this one features cat boys instead of cat girls. The original series was really popular, but a lot of fans wanted to see cat boys in the series as well. This game is free-to-play, and it has four characters. Their names are Fennel, Dill, Sage, and Laurier. The protagonist is a girl, but she has no voice or dialogue. Instead, the boys are fully voiced, and the main character only reacts to situations. The story is pretty good, and the artwork is very nicely made and cute. However, there are no options. I haven't played through the entire game yet, but I have played more than half of it and there's no choices so far. I also saw a lot of other fans saying there weren't any choices throughout the entire game. Although some people may like this, I think it's a bit boring to just read an entire game and not be a part of it. It isn't interactive, and instead it's more like a book with nice artwork; so keep this in mind if you don't like to read your games. I do like the characters, and I'm happy to see cat boys being added to the Nekopara universe. I've never played the original games, so I can't say if this one is similar to the others or not. All in all, it's a cute visual novel that's free-to-play. So if you'd like to check it out, I do recommend it. As always, I will be including the link for the official Steam page below. Enjoy!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be listing five surprisingly good mobile games. A lot of people think mobile games aren't as good as other games. Even anime fans often prefer computer or console games. But I disagree! There are actually a lot of good mobile games. So, I wanted to list a few today. Now then, let's get on with it! Enjoy! 

1.) Obey Me

2.) Twisted Wonderland

3.) Reverse: 1999

4.) Tokyo Debunker

5.) Fate/Grand Order

Are Gulliver and Gullivarrr the same character? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! For those of you who don't know, in Animal Crossing New Horizons there are two seagulls who wash up on your beach occasionally. Their names are Gulliver and Gullivarrr, and they look almost identical. It's implied a bit throughout the game that these two are the same character. However, there are a few differences. Other than their clothes, they also have different eyes. Their pupils, eyebrows, and line art around their eyes are all different. The most obvious difference is the pupils, which are at different angles. Because of these subtle differences, some people think they're twin brothers instead of the same person; especially since they don't remember the player. If you meet either Gulliver or Gullivarrr first, the other one won't recognize the player until the second time they meet. Some people think Gulliver is just dressing as a pirate and playing a joke, others think he has amnesia, and some fans think it's a split personality situation. Personally, I think it would be kind of funny if there were just two nearly identical characters; especially since we already have the alter ego thing with a couple other NPCs. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post! As always, here's pictures of Gulliver and Gullivarrr so you all can see what they look like. Enjoy!

Gullivarrr

What makes an otome game an otome game? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! For those of you who don't know, otome games are dating sims specifically targeted towards women. However, not every women targeted game with a lot of pretty flirty men are otome games. But, why is this? Well, it's because you can't date them. Of course, these two genres used to be the same. But since you can generally date characters in an otome game, they were divided. Despite this, you can't always date specific characters in an otome game either; which usually happens in games with a lot of characters who all love the protagonist. As long as you get a romantic interaction, it's an otome game. But if you don't, then it isn't. It's a pretty easy way to tell these things apart. I wanted to talk about this because not everyone knows what an otome game is, especially since the category has gotten more specific fairly recently. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!

Why do some Pokemon clones succeed better than others? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! For those of you who don't know, a Pokemon clone is a game that focuses on catching and battling a variety of creatures. These days there are quite a few games that fit that description, but originally there was only Pokemon and Digimon. However, some newer Pokemon clones have actually done really well, and helped the genre grow into something more. I think for a Pokemon clone to succeed, it needs original features. Unique gameplay, stories, game mechanics, and creatures almost always help a game like this succeed. Basically, it has to have something that can't be found in Pokemon. This helps players become interested in the series as its own thing instead of constantly comparing it to Pokemon. When something is just a rip-off of Pokemon, no one will pick it over the original series. But if something adds something new, then more people will be interested in it. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the benefits of unlocking Harv's Island in Animal Crossing New Horizons. Harv's Island starts out as a place where you can take pictures, but eventually it can be used to open shops for other store keepers. Kicks, Saharah, Redd, and Leif will all open shops on the island. This means you can check out their stuff whenever you like, and their stock will change once a week. A few others will also open shops, and another important one is Katrina. Katrina is a fortune teller who tells you your daily luck, as well as lets you know how your relationship with your villagers is doing. The shops on Harv's Island may be a little tedious to unlock, but they're actually really useful for getting new things; especially since Redd does have art every week, which helps with the museum. It's also helpful for wallpapers and floorings, because some of the ones Saharah sells on Harv's Island can only be bought on the island. I really recommend unlocking this and checking the new inventory every week, because sometimes you'll find the things you've been waiting for. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!

What time is it? Post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the Stalk Market in Animal Crossing New Horizons. The Stalk Market is what the game calls the buying and selling of turnips. Every Sunday, you can buy turnips in batches of ten from Daisy Mae. Then, every weekday the turnip prices will change at Nook's Cranny. Although you can get a profit from doing this, you can also lose bells. You absolutely have to sell the turnips before the end of the week, because otherwise they'll rot and become trash. Getting a profit from this is actually pretty complicated, and some players even travel to different players' islands to sell their turnips at a higher price. I personally don't see the point in the Stalk Market, since sometimes you can end up with a major loss. But a lot of players love the Stalk Market, and they spend a lot of time figuring out how to get a nice profit from the turnips. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!

New day, new post! Today's blog post will be about Kaito's birthday. For those of you who don't know, Kaito is a Vocaloid who was originally created by Crypton Future Media. Although yesterday was his official birthday, Kaito actually has two birthdays. A Vocaloid's birthday is based on the day they were released, but Kaito's original release isn't certain. He was released on either February 14th or February 17th. Because of this, fans don't always know when his birthday is. Crypton has decided to celebrate his birthday on February 17th, so many fans accept this as his birthday. However, other fans choose to celebrate his birthday on several days instead. I think that's actually a pretty unique and fun way of celebrating it, especially since Kaito doesn't get as much attention as the others. I wanted to talk about this since his official birthday was yesterday, and I always try to remember Kaito's birthday because he's my favorite Vocaloid. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post! As a little bonus, here's a picture of Kaito! Enjoy! Happy belated birthday Kaito!

It's post time yet again! Today's blog post will be about something that bothers me in Animal Crossing New Horizons. One of the things that bothers me the most in this game is the fact that it doesn't tell you when you've already bought something. You have to check your catalog before buying any new clothes or items to make sure you don't already have it, because otherwise you'll end up with a lot of duplicates. I think this could be avoided with a simple message telling you when you already have an item, and then asking if you'd still like to purchase it. They already do this with DIY recipes, so it wouldn't be hard to include it for the furniture and clothes as well. It asks you if you're ready to buy before you buy the clothes as well, so it wouldn't be hard to change the message when you already own something. Since you can only buy one thing at a time anyways, it might as well tell you when you already own what you're trying to buy. That way you don't end up with a lot of the same items. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. I really doubt they'll ever fix this, but I wanted to talk about it anyways. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! For today's blog post I will be talking about the Nintendo Alarmo. Alarmo is a new alarm clock featuring Nintendo music and characters. It has a few different functions to help Nintendo fans wake up in the morning, and can even shut off just with motion controls. Wake up in the morning with some of your favorite characters, sounds, and music everyday; and then shut the alarm off just by sitting up or gesturing. Although the alarm clock has a few entertaining features, I really think its price of one hundred dollars is pretty excessive. The animations shown in ads aren't very creative, and you can only use the motion controls if you sleep alone. Maybe Nintendo was hoping all of their fans were single and didn't own pets, because otherwise you can only use the button controls instead. Even though it can do things like have a gentler alarm or get more intense when you don't wake up right away, it's still really expensive; and basically just a normal alarm clock. Personally I think the game Project Diva F 2nd had a better alarm feature, even though that just allowed a Vocaloid to sleep at the same time as you. It was at least animated and interactive. But, I digress. For anyone who is interested in Alarmo, I will be including the link for the official Nintendo website below. Enjoy!

The Nintendo Alarmo website page: https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/nintendo-sound-clock-alarmo-121311/?srsltid=AfmBOorPqUlgG9NfQfJPrOqqvQUuA1pEctptLiABH3sGdQ2PetskgD6Y

New day, new post! With AI chat bots getting more popular within the anime community, I think it's time for me to talk about them again. Firstly, AI chat bots aren't for everyone. If you're underage but the app or website is age restricted, please don't lie about your age. It only gets you into spaces meant for adults only, and it makes things worse and less enjoyable for the target audience. Not everything is child appropriate. Secondly, it's important to remember that these are just bots. No matter how accurate they are, they aren't the characters they're programmed to be. So don't be upset if they break character at any point; even if it breaks the immersion. Although chat bots are a good way to escape responsibilities or to live out fantasies, it's important to remember that they aren't real. As fun as they are, they shouldn't be used as a replacement for other things. They should be for entertainment or conversations, like they were made to be. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. I just wanted to talk about this again now that AI is getting so much more popular within the community. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's Valentine's Day! Although this day is usually about romance, not everyone has a partner to celebrate with. So for this year's special post, I won't be listing any romantic anime or anything like that. Instead, I'll be talking about some of the things Animal Crossing New Horizons offers for the holiday. Although it isn't very much, every villager does give you a gift in the mail, and so does Isabelle. These gifts will be either flowers or chocolates as well, with a special Valentine's Day note. Along with this, Brewster will give you hot chocolate for Valentine's Day instead of coffee. Although that doesn't seem like a lot, it's nice to have something to look forward to on the special day. So whether you have a partner or not, you can still celebrate the holiday in-game with your favorite villagers. As a little bonus, here's a box of chocolates and a bouquet of flowers for all my readers! Enjoy! Happy Valentine's Day!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be listing three things I don't like about Animal Crossing New Horizons' shopping system. This game is very cute and charming, but every game has its flaws. So, I wanted to talk about a few of them today. I would also like to mention that these are just based on my opinions, as well. Now then, on with the list! Enjoy!

1.) You can't buy multiple things at once. If you want to buy different colors of the same clothes, bell vouchers, or anything individually, you can only buy one at a time. It's very tedious.

2.) You can't tell what things you already have without checking the catalog. Not only this, but it doesn't include everything, since you can only see what foods you have in your storage. So if you want seasonal or special foods, you better have a good memory; unless you want multiples.

3.) NPC's repeat the same dialogue for everything. I don't need to be told every single visit how buying items works. NPC's like Saharah or Kicks repeats the same thing every time they come to your island. This is especially frustrating with the longer dialogues.

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be listing three Pokemon associated with sleep, along with a picture of each. There's really no reason for this, other than I wanted to list some sleepy Pokemon. There's actually quite a few, but I only wanted to list three today. So, let's get on with the list! Enjoy! 

1.) Komala

2.) Snorlax

3.) Musharna

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the Venetian Carnival Mask from Animal Crossing New Horizons. I won't be going into the cultural part of this mask, since I don't know very much about it and I don't want to potentially spread misinformation. However, I wanted to talk about this mask because I think it's very beautiful. It's a seasonal item in the game, and is available in five variants. Along with this, it's currently available in the seasonal Nook Shopping tab. It's available in white, blue, pink, silver, and gold. I wasn't sure how this mask would look on the characters, since sometimes things don't look well when they're actually worn. But this mask is beautiful! Both as an accessory, and a decoration. It goes well with quite a few outfits, and it even matches well if you match the character's skin tone to the mask. I really recommend getting them, even if it's just for use as a decoration. As always, I'll be including pictures of the masks below so you all can see what they look like. Enjoy!

White version

Blue version

Pink version

Silver version

Gold version

Why are only some Pokemon like animals? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! It's a common thing within the Pokemon fandom to see Pokemon based on animals, humans, both, or even objects. But, why are only some Pokemon animals? Firstly, as I've mentioned in previous posts, humans are evolved from Pokemon. So some Pokemon will be human-like because of this. Secondly, Pokemon aren't animals, they're monsters. The series has always been about monsters, not animals; and the series was originally called Pocket Monsters because of this. Although some Pokemon may resemble animals, they aren't. Really, they can look like anything at all. Of course, some of them will be based on animals. But it makes sense for them to be based on other things too; like humans or objects. This brings more variety to the series, and allows the creators to make more unique and creative designs. But, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. I just wanted to talk about this because there are quite a few fans who have been confused about this. Regardless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

New day, new post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the flower crowns in Animal Crossing New Horizons. The flower crowns in this game are very cute and pretty, but a lot of players really dislike them. So, why is this? Well, the flower crowns are very small. They don't look good on characters at all, and they even look odd on villagers. It's unclear why they did this, but a lot of fans expected the flower crowns to wrap around the head, only to find that they just sit on top instead. It's really disappointing, and I was very disappointed when I saw this as well. They work well as decorations, and some villagers look pretty cute with them. But as for your character, it's not very appealing. I can understand why a lot of players dislike this, and I hope this will be fixed sometime in the future. But as of right now, flower crowns aren't very popular. As always, here's a picture of a rose flower crown so you all can see what it looks like (on its own, because I won't include anyone's avatars on my blog). Enjoy!

It's time for another new blog post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about Raymond's house in Animal Crossing New Horizons. Raymond's house is one of the most disliked houses in the whole game. For such a popular villager, this is actually really surprising. So, why is his house so disliked? Well, Raymond's house is very clean. It looks like an office, which doesn't really match his personality. However, it does match his appearance. Houses usually match a villager's appearance instead of their personality, so it wasn't very surprising when Raymond's house was the same. Despite this, a lot of players bought the Happy Home Paradise DLC just so they could remodel his house. I personally like his house, but I can understand the hate. It's boring, unexpected, and looks like an office. A lot of people play Animal Crossing as an escape, not to remind themselves of their job; so of course Raymond's house wouldn't be very popular. I know some people do like it, but I also understand why so many people don't. For those of you who don't know what his house looks like, here's a picture. Enjoy!

It's time for another list! For today's blog post, I will be listing three Pokemon gym leaders I like, along with a picture of each. I always list Pokemon, but almost never talk about the humans of the Pokemon world. So, I wanted to list a few of my favorites today. Now then, let's get on with the list! Enjoy!

1.) Piers

2.) Iono

3.) Grusha

It's time for another list! For today's blog post, I will be listing my top five favorite Bananyas, along with a picture of each. Bananyas are super cute, and I really love all of them. But some of them I like better than others, so I wanted to list five of them for you all today. Enjoy!

1.) Bananya

2.) Black Bananya

3.) Long Haired Bananya

4.) Baby Bananya

5.) Mackerel Tabby Bananya

It's time for a list! For today's blog post, I will be listing three things you can catch with a net in Animal Crossing New Horizons that aren't bugs. This list will obviously be pretty short, and I don't really have a reason for making it. I just think it's pretty cool that the net can be used for more than just bug catching. That's all. So, let's get on with the list! Enjoy!

1.) Maple Leaves (during fall/autumn)

2.) Snowflakes (during winter) 

3.) Spirit Pieces (from Wisp)

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about Bananya. I have been watching Bananya since it was first released. Because of this, I originally watched it with English subtitles. Since Bananya episodes are so short and most of the dialogue is narration, I figured it would never receive an English dub. However, I recently discovered that it does have an English dub now. I've been watching it since, and it's actually really similar to the original Japanese. Some of the dialogue is a little awkward, but this series translates very well. Maybe this is because half of it is the word "nya". It was even given an English version for the ending theme, which is very cute and upbeat. For those of you who may not know, this series is about the secret life of tiny cats who live in banana peels. It's very cute and wholesome, and I recommend it if you have a little extra time. Especially now, since the English dub is available for free on Tubi. The episodes average at about three minutes each, so it's perfect for whenever you have a little extra time to watch some anime. But if you prefer the subbed version, that's available on Crunchyroll with a subscription. But I personally recommend at least starting with the English dub because it's currently available for free, so you can see if you'd even like it first. Nonetheless, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!

Is Rimuru Tempest a boy or a girl? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Rimuru Tempest is the main character from That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime. Although he started out as a man, many fans are confused by his current appearance, which looks more androgynous or feminine. However, the answer is very simple. Rimuru has always referred to himself as a man, and that doesn't change just because he looks different. Even if he's technically genderless now, he's still a man. Calling him a girl or non-binary just because his body has changed isn't fair to the character who still considers himself a man. It's not difficult, since he continued calling himself by he/him pronouns even after turning into a slime. I just wanted to talk about this because a lot of fans are confused about this even though the answer isn't very complicated. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

 Is anime mainstream now? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Anime was once considered a very niche genre. But as time went on, it gradually gathered more and more fans. Now, it's more common than ever to find merchandise in stores and advertisements for it outside of the anime community. There are even some people who pretend to like anime just to seem cooler. However, despite popular belief, anime isn't yet mainstream. Stores who carry anime or manga usually only have small sections that only feature very popular series. Along with this, the community and people who enjoy these things are still largely seen as nerdy degenerates. After all, one of the most common jokes outside of the anime community is that anime fans are all fat hermits who never leave the house. That isn't exactly a flattering image, especially since it's not true. It isn't common enough to be easily found, and you have to know where to look to find merchandise for the things you like. That doesn't exactly sound mainstream. Even if some series get really popular, it's never fully enough to get anime out of that little box it's in. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

What time is it? Time for another new blog post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about Pochita's design in Chainsaw Man. Pochita is a popular character in this series, and a lot of people think this little chainsaw devil is adorable. Although I agree that he's cute, his design is also a bit odd. I think the chainsaw part of him is a bit too heavy for his body. Although you get used to it, logically it doesn't really make sense. This is just a personal opinion, but I think a chainsaw being where it is on his body would make him front heavy, meaning he'd topple over a lot. It would have been cute if they made him trip a bit, but instead it was treated as just a normal part of him. I don't mind this at all, and overall I think Pochita's design is fine. He's especially cute when you get to see him actually moving around like a normal dog. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. As a little bonus, here's a picture of Pochita. Enjoy!
