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!

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!

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!
