It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the museum from Animal Crossing New Horizons. The museum has four areas that need to be filled, and those areas are for fossils, fish, bugs, and art. The problem is, it can take over a year to fully fill it. Sometimes longer if you miss seasonal fish or bugs. But, it also takes a long time because Redd almost never has real art. The only other place you can get art is from villagers occasionally sending it in the mail, so Redd is the only main place you can get it; which gets frustrating. After completing the museum, it gets a bit boring. There's only one event per year, nothing changes, and you see the same thing every time you enter. Which is why it's disappointing when you finish the museum. It's fun when you're filling it, and it's an achievement when you finish them. But after that, it feels empty. I wish there were more things to do in the museum. Like inviting villagers to go with you, or being able to decorate it somehow. However, I don't think the museum will ever be anything other than what it is. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! Recently a new remake for The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time was announced. A lot of people are already complaining about the new designs and things like that, even though not very much has been revealed yet. But I think there's a bigger problem here, it'll only be for the Nintendo Switch 2. This is such a mean thing to do to fans! Hardly anyone has a Switch 2, especially since there's been so many problems with the system. Nobody wants to buy a new system just to play a game they already love. Usually game systems make games for both old and new systems for years before discontinuing the older games. But Nintendo hates their fans and they love money. If you can't afford it, you don't deserve it. A lot of people can't afford to buy an expensive console and then buy new games for it too. They're already making Switch 2 exclusive games, so why do they have to push their fans away even more? Why do fans put up with this? It's ridiculous, unfair, and it's just bad business. Nintendo does these things because they get away with it, so they'll only get worse with time. 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! In Animal Crossing New Horizons, there's a problem with disabled representation. This isn't a problem for most people, but for fans with disabilities, it can be frustrating. There are no leg braces, casts can't be worn with shoes, there's no walking aids, and the wheelchair can't even be used correctly. This is part of a bigger problem, where games that let you customize your own character like to pretend disabled people don't exist. This isn't just a problem in Animal Crossing, but since Animal Crossing New Horizons is such a popular game, I decided to use it as an example. Games are getting more and more diverse, but people with disabilities are still getting left behind. They're still treated poorly by a lot of people, and games, anime, and media in general would rather pretend disabilities aren't real. I think this is becoming a problem, and I hope it stops being a problem in the future. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! One of the problems with being an anime fan is that some anime are completely inaccessible. They're hard to find, there are no DVDs, it's not on digital, and they're not on streaming services. I'm not sure why this happens, but there are a few series that are just about lost to time. But when fans upload it themselves, someone still reports it and gets it taken down. It isn't fair. There's no way to watch some series at all. The most well-known case of this is the Diabolik Lovers series, which has been buried so far that it's a good thing the characters are immortal. I hope things like this will start coming to streaming services, or that they'll at least be released for fans who want to watch 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 how to get new flowers in Animal Crossing New Horizons. For those of you who don't know, you can only buy a few different flower colors for your island. To get more colors, you have to grow them yourself. If you plant flowers next to each other, you can make hybrid flowers. There are so many different combinations, and each one creates a new color of flower. If you combine different flowers, you can eventually get an island filled with unique and beautiful flowers. If you want specific flowers, there are a lot of flower guides available online. But, that's all for now. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!

It's time for another new blog post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about how to grow golden roses in Animal Crossing New Horizons. I've done enough complaining recently, so I'd like to just do a nice flower guide. Golden roses are rare, and they sell for 1,000 bells each. They don't clone, and growing them is a bit specific. They do, however, grow back if they're plucked or run through. To grow them, you have to get black roses first. Black roses are created by mixing two red roses by planting them next to each other. Once you have black roses, they should be watered only with a golden watering can. After a while, a golden rose will be created instead of a black or red one. It's pretty easy to do after you learn how they're grown, and the more you have, the more bells you'll get from them; since each one is worth 1,000 bells. Growing them can be tedious, but they're worth the effort. As always, I'll be including a picture of the golden rose below so you all can see what it looks like. Enjoy!

It's post time! Bungo Stray Dogs has always been a popular anime ever since it first released. Because of this, I have decided to watch it myself. I'm only a few episodes in, but I like it so far. However, I will say, the comedy is a bit awkward. This show has some really serious themes and moments, so it feels like emotional whiplash when it suddenly becomes a joke. I'm sure this will become less common as the show progresses, so I'm not going to judge the anime too harshly for this. Overall I like it quite a bit, and I'm looking forward to watching more. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

New day, new post! Even though Pokemon Winds and Waves still won't be released for a long time, there's already been a lot of leaks for it. This can help some fans stay interested during the long wait, but for other fans it can ruin the experience of waiting. These leaks also spread quickly, so you can't avoid them. This can be really frustrating for fans who want to wait for official news. This happens every time a new mainline Pokemon game is announced, and it happens for two reasons. Firstly, the games are often delayed or announced too early, which means fans have to wait a very long time. Secondly, the Pokemon company doesn't release enough information to keep fans interested. Fans have to do it themselves, which is what causes leaks. Although I don't agree with people leaking information, I do understand why it happens. I think if the Pokemon company engaged with the fans more, then leaks wouldn't happen as often. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! In Animal Crossing New Horizons, there are only eight personality types. This means a lot of villagers have personalities that don't match their design. But the one that bothers me the most, is Sasha. Sasha is one of my favorite villagers, but his personality doesn't match at all. He has a lazy personality, which means he talks about bugs and acts very childish. I don't think this is what he should be like. I think Sasha should have been the first male peppy villager. I mean, he loves fashion and selfies, so being peppy would fit much better. He already gets mistaken for a girl often, so this may have been confusing. But it would've made more sense if he talked about things like videogames and comics as opposed to bugs. This wouldn't be a problem if there were more personalities, but the creators are too lazy to change that. Sasha's personality bothers me every time I see him, and that upsets me because I really love him. 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 personalities in Animal Crossing New Horizons. There are eight personality types in total, and there are four for males and four for females. A lot of fans think this isn't nearly enough, and I agree. If you want to have an island with all males or all females, you'll end up with a lot of personality doubles. Not only this, but the limited personalities means a lot of villagers don't have personalities to match their design. If you talk to the tourists who visit your island hotel, you can tell it's just repetitive dialogue. After a while it stops mattering who is visiting, since they all say the same things. Only the designs are unique, so it doesn't really matter who's on your island. I hope this will be fixed eventually, but I doubt it. There are too many villagers at this point, and the creators of Animal Crossing don't want to put in the effort to give them all unique personalities. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Why is it a bad thing for Slumber Islands to not have buildings? 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, you can now have Slumber Islands. They're separate from your main island and can be decorated freely. Is what I would like to say, if the creativity wasn't so limited. But one of the biggest problems with these islands, is that you can't have buildings. There's only one building, your house. You can't place other buildings at all. There are no stores, no villager houses, and no empty buildings to place. There's nothing. Since you can only place five villagers that you can't even talk to, it makes the island feel empty and lifeless. It almost feels dystopian walking around on a full island with basically nothing on it. Sure, you can add furniture. But it's not the same. You could also probably make false buildings yourself for a city setting, but it still feels empty. It's just disappointing, and I know a lot of other fans think so too. 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 downsides of Slumber Islands in Animal Crossing New Horizons. Slumber Islands are islands you can create that are separate from your original main island. This sounds like a good thing, but there are so many things that are wrong with this. Firstly, you can only have five villagers on a slumber island at one time, and it can only be villagers who have stayed on your island. You can't talk to them, either. The only building on a slumber island is your house, as well. You can only copy custom designs from the main island too, which means you can't download anything new for your slumber islands. Not only this, but slumber islands require a paid Nintendo Switch Online membership, because they can only be accessed on the internet. All in all, there's even less creative features available for slumber islands. This is a huge disappointment, and I don't think they'll ever fix it. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

What time is it? Post time! When it comes to anime and videogames, it's really common to see romance in some way. And although I know this is an unpopular opinion, I think romance isn't necessary in most cases. Anime or videogames that are centered around action or fighting don't need to be derailed by sappy, complicated, awkward moments. Sometimes it's nice to just watch or play something for the fun of it. Not to mention that adding romance to things causes shipping wars, which is horrible for the fans. I don't think there needs to be romance if it isn't a romance series. I think if the story is good enough on its own, that's all it needs. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Why do I dislike live action versions of anime? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Firstly, I think live action versions are completely unnecessary. But, they also aren't made for anime fans. Anime fans don't say "wow I love this art style, but I wish it was real people and second class CGI instead". No, the live action versions aren't made for fans, they're made for "average" people. They're made for people who say "anime is nerdy" or "anime is for children". I don't want people like that in the fan base. I don't want these unnecessary remakes. Anime is anime because it's animated. That's the whole point of it. I have never looked at an anime character or story and said "gee I wish this wasn't animated". Live action is duller, it's too realistic, and the CGI doesn't help. I just want regular animation, it's why I watch anime. I don't watch animation hoping one day it'll be realistic instead of what I like. Anime is an escape from reality, I don't want to get sucked back into the real world when I'm watching it. It's for fun, it's a distraction, and I love the art style. I know other people feel the same way I do. But the people who are doing this don't care about anime fans. They care about "normal people". A lot of live action versions have said they're being made to appeal to the "average audience" and not fans of the series. So why do we still put up with this? It isn't even for us. And that's why I hate these live action versions. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's time for another new blog post! Many fans of Animal Crossing New Horizons have wondered how to get special items that you can hold in the game. Items like books, magazines, and other things aren't very easy to get if you don't know where they come from. But the answer is simple, they're obtained from Redd's Raffle. If you participate in his raffle on Harv's Island, you can get things like colored light sticks, books, magazines, drinks, and food. There are a lot of different things you can get from him. It can be frustrating because you can get doubles, but it's also pretty fun to see what you get. You can also get things like bags or purses from Kicks, as well. So if you want items you can hold, this is where to find them. I wanted to talk about this because more people are starting to play the game, and this isn't a very well-known fact. As always, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

 New day, new post! Animal Crossing New Horizons doesn't have very many ways to customize your player character. Even when you buy the extra options with Nook Miles, there still aren't very many. There are barely any unnatural skin tones, there aren't many hairstyles or eye shapes, and the longer you play the more annoying it is. There are wigs, which look nice. But you can't wear hats with them. I feel like it may have been better to include the wigs as more hairstyles instead so they can still be worn normally. It's also lacking a lot of options that are included in other games. There aren't even space buns, which ended up causing a huge controversy in the fandom; since people who wanted space buns were using the afro puffs hairstyle for it, which made other fans upset about it. There isn't even a space buns wig even though it's one of the most popular hairstyles. It's missing so many things, and I hope this is fixed sometime in the future; especially with more people coming back to the game. 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 those of you who don't know, there are bugs you can't catch in Animal Crossing New Horizons. They're cockroaches, and they appear in your house after a week of inactivity. The only way to get rid of them is to squish them, which is done automatically when your player character walks too close to them. When you squish them, it'll make a sound, and a little bug ghost will float away. They show up everywhere, and they can even hide under furniture. This is honestly an annoying feature. If you want the bedhead hairstyle, you have to go without playing for a month. But the bugs show up after a week. So you'll get the hairstyle, at the cost of chasing around and murdering very tiny and hard to see bugs. This game is missing a lot of things, so it feels like a punishment to have this. Some fans think it's funny, but I'm not looking forward to running around and cleaning up my spare house that I use as an activity center. I suppose it's an interesting easter egg, but it'll get old fast when I have to move perfectly placed furniture just to catch all of the bugs. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Why are there so many girls in anime? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! There are a lot of girls in anime, manga, and videogames. Not only this, but most of them are usually dressed in tight or short clothes. This makes it uncomfortable for most girl fans, but that's because anime like this is usually made for men. However, anime made for women are almost never like this. Men are expected to be drawn in by the barely dressed women, but women are supposed to be drawn in by the story or romance instead. I'm not sure why this is, or if it's just a sexist trope that never really died. Since there are a lot more women anime fans, hopefully this will die soon. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Why is Homestuck popular in the anime fandom? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Homestuck isn't an anime, and it doesn't really use the anime art style. Sometimes there are pictures in it that somewhat resemble anime, but it still isn't anime. But since it was popular in the scene community, it eventually snuck its way into the anime community like Invader Zim and My Little Pony did. It's a weird part of internet history, and newer fans don't know anything about it. Even I didn't learn about it until after it happened. Now that Homestuck is starting to gain popularity again, maybe more people will learn about this. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! In Animal Crossing New Horizons, you can get a lot of rugs that look like they belong outside. However, you can't put them outside. This is a really awful decision because there isn't enough space inside of the houses to use them either. Yes, you can make the inside of houses look like outside, but this shouldn't be necessary. Making rugs only usable inside means the picnic blankets and outdoor rugs exist for no reason. Not only this, but it forces players to use custom designs to make outdoor rugs instead, even though there aren't very many custom design spaces available. It isn't fair, and a lot of Animal Crossing New Horizons players hate this. It wouldn't even be difficult to make it so rugs can be placed outside. I don't understand why this was done, since every other game that lets you customize places usually lets you put rugs outside. All it does is limit creativity in a game that's supposed to be about creative freedom. I hope this is fixed sometime in the future, but I doubt it ever will be. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Why do the fish models look worse than the bug models in Animal Crossing New Horizons? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! For those of you who don't know, you can get models made for bugs or fish in Animal Crossing New Horizons. The bug models are amazing. They're very detailed, and some of them are really big. But the fish models, are small and disappointing. Why is this? Well, in the game, all of the models are made by Flick. Flick loves bugs, but doesn't really care about fish. So this makes sense. It's a neat detail in the game. But, it's really unfair for fans. Some fans really like the fish in the game, so the small little disappointing models are a huge let down. Even the big fish get small models. While I understand why this is from a story standpoint, I don't understand why the creators did this. Even if an artist doesn't like something, they usually put their all into a commission. So making the fish models look like that just because Flick made them, it doesn't really make sense to me. Flick really likes what he does, and he takes commissions very seriously. So as a character, I don't understand why he would make the fish models look like trash just because they're fish. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's scorpion season in Animal Crossing New Horizons again! So for today's blog post, I will be talking about how to successfully catch them. Scorpions and tarantulas can seem impossible to catch at first, but after you learn how to, they're actually pretty easy to catch. Firstly, you have to hold a net if you want to get close to them. Otherwise they'll run away from you. A lot of people say you have to sneak up on it, but you don't. You can walk normally while holding the net and the scorpion won't attack you. The only thing you have to watch is the claws. If they're raised, stop walking. If they're lowered, it's safe to move. It's like a game of red light green light. A few important notes are, you can herd it into a more open area without a net for easier catching. But if you chase it around too much, it'll disappear. If it's trapped between rocks or trees, don't try to catch it. Your net will hit the objects around it, and then the scorpion will sting you. You can also accidentally chase it into water, which will make it disappear. So I recommend trying to catch it in an open and easy to see area. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. As always, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Why do people think Miffy is a Japanese character? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Recently I did a blog post about the character Miffy, who is a popular bunny that was originally from Dutch children's books. However, even though she's Dutch, everyone thinks she's Japanese. Why is this? Personally, I think it's just a lack of information. Miffy is popular in Japan, so many people think she's Japanese. They don't do research, and many people think she's actually a Sanrio character. I can see why they think that, but it isn't true. She's similar to Sanrio characters, but she wasn't made by them. A lot of people, including anime fans, believe that anything that's popular in Japan was made in Japan. But, this isn't true. Sometimes things are just popular regardless of where they were made. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. For anyone who missed my last post about her, I'll be including a picture of Miffy below so you all can see what she looks like. Enjoy!

Why do otaku characters always eat junk food? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! When you see an anime character who likes manga, videogames, or anime, they usually also eat junk food and drink soda. This is really common to see, so why is this? Well, this is just how Japan sees otakus. In Japan, people who like things like this are often seen as unemployed, lazy, hermit, snackaholics. Even if most anime fans aren't like this, it doesn't change how they're seen. Food is also just a way to show that a character is an otaku. For example, characters who fight a lot eat regular meals very often, but characters who are lazy or rest a lot eat snacks instead. Otakus are usually shown to be lazy, which is part of why they eat a lot of snacks. 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 Miffy. If you're an anime fan who likes things like Sanrio, San-X, and Mofusand, you've probably also seen Miffy. Miffy is a simple white bunny, and she's extremely popular in Japan and the anime community. However, she isn't Japanese. Miffy is actually Dutch. This is a common mistake, because she's popular in Japan and resembles Japanese characters. It's even easy to find her on clothes or accessories from Japan. She actually first appeared in picture books, and she was created in 1955. Since then, she's become very popular. It's easy to find her just about anywhere. Many people don't even know where she came from, they just think she's cute. As always, I will be including a picture of Miffy below so you all can see what she looks like. Enjoy!

It's post time! As villagers stay on your island and gain new clothes and accessories in Animal Crossing New Horizons, they'll eventually almost never wear their original outfits. Because of this, it's important to know if you'll still like their designs if they don't have their glasses or outfits anymore, or if they'll look silly wearing hats or glasses. I have a solution for this. If you want to see what a villager or villager type will look like with accessories, just include them on the mannequins at the hotel! This way they'll be forced to wear them while they're visiting. If you keep hats and glasses on the mannequins at all times, you'll always be able to see what villagers will look like when they wear them. This makes it easier to tell if you'll like them that way, and it also saves you from the disappointment of finding out the hard way. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! Today I started watching the anime Dropkick On My Devil. This anime is pretty random. It makes a lot of pop culture references, and it jumps around a lot. It's about a devil named Jashin who was summoned by a witch. She'll be stuck with the witch until the witch dies, so she often tries to kill her. She never succeeds, but the anime can still get pretty violent. However, it is a comedy, so it isn't at all serious. What is odd about this anime, is that it doesn't have an English dub. Even though fans have asked for one and there's already been multiple seasons, there hasn't been any word on if there will ever be an English dub. I usually hate having to watch a show with subtitles, but the characters usually don't talk too quickly; so it's easy to follow along with. Still, I would've preferred an English dub for it. If it's ever dubbed, I may rewatch it in English to see how it is. But at the moment, I'm fine with the subbed version. For any of you who may be interested, Dropkick On My Devil is available on Crunchyroll. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!

It's time to post! For those of you who don't know, in Animal Crossing New Horizons, you can get models made for fish or bugs. You can do this by talking to Flick or CJ, asking for a commission, and giving them three of one type of bug or fish. For example, three butterflies will make one model. However, Flick can only make bug models, and CJ only makes fish models; even though Flick is the one who makes all of the models. You can only commission one model at a time as well, so plan accordingly! Models are a fun way to have bugs on your island in all seasons, or to make sea themed rooms with fish models. There are 160 models in total, with 80 models for fish and 80 models for bugs. So if you want a specific model, be sure to plan ahead! As always, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! It's been about a week now since the Character AI situation started, and there's been a development! A bad development. The creators decided to "fix" the issues by adding a new temporary chat style. Firstly, it's stupid to make it temporary. Part of the problem is that different people like different chat styles. So forcing everyone to use the same one just won't work. Instead of making new chat styles, they should've just kept and updated the most popular chat styles, which seems to be Soft Launch and Roar. That's two chat styles, it would've been enough. But now there are just so many problems and they aren't listening at all. They're "fixing" problems by making new problems, and it's like they want to lose their users. I thought they would fix it by now, but it's like they aren't even trying; since a lot of people said the new chat style has more dialogue but still doesn't stay in character. The service is literally called Character AI, so characters not staying in character is a problem! If you're an anime fan who likes using these bots, I would recommend just using a different one for now and maybe checking the Reddit for updates in the meantime. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

New day, new post! Recently I've been playing the game Date Everything, which was a gift I got when it was on sale recently. I've only been playing it for a few days, so I'd like to give my thoughts on it so far even though I haven't reached the ending yet. Firstly, it can get pretty overwhelming. There are so many things to do that sometimes it feels like you're just running errands. Secondly, getting all of the endings will take multiple playthroughs, which can feel intimidating to a new player. It's also really easy to get lost or mess up on a blind playthrough. I have a few characters who hate me even though I don't really know what I did wrong. The one that stings the most is Timothy, who I was very understanding with, which makes me even more confused about why he hates me now. I also have some that had different endings than I expected despite feeling like I picked the right options. It's very easy to end up being just friends with the characters no matter how many romance options you pick, and other times the characters fall in love with you no matter how many platonic options you pick. It's very confusing. I think this game is best with a playthrough, because otherwise you just get lost or run around in circles for ages. But all in all, I'm actually enjoying this game; even though I know the ending is going to crush me. Regardless, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's time for another new blog post! As anime fans, it's hard to admit that the biggest problem with being an anime fan is merchandise. It's expensive, there's too much of it, and sometimes it isn't released outside of Japan. It can make other fans feel left out, and a lot of people sell Japan exclusive merchandise for much more than it's worth. Even websites like AliExpress often have limits for where they'll ship things to, so you can see they have it but you aren't allowed to buy it. You could always just not buy merchandise, but then other fans think you aren't a real fan. Since anime has become more popular outside of Japan, I think merchandise should be easier for fans to buy. The high prices are already stressful, so it isn't fair to also make things completely unavailable for fans outside of Japan. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

New day, new post! It's been a few days since the Character AI community set fire to itself and danced in the flames, so I'm here with a small update. Firstly, there's still only one free chat style. But, they have been working on it, without really telling anyone they've been working on it. It's pretty clear they have been trying to fix it though, since people are getting different responses now. There was also a community poll on Reddit to show the creators which chat styles fans liked the most. The winners were Soft Launch in first, and Roar in second. I don't know if this will do anything, but hopefully the creators will finally listen to the fans. Especially since the current chat style, Pipsqueak 2, only finished with ninety nine votes out of thousands of votes. Whatever happens, it looks like things are gradually being smoothed out. I hope this means things will be fixed soon. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! In Animal Crossing New Horizons, you'll often see villagers crafting or cooking in their homes. If you talk to them, they'll give you the DIY recipe for whatever they're working on. If you already know the recipe, they'll make you take it anyways. If you don't know the recipe, they'll ask if you want it, and you can agree or refuse. My problem with this is, it should be the other way around. They should give you the option to reject ones you already have, but make you take ones you don't have. This would make it a lot easier to unlock all of the recipes, while also giving you the option to not take ones you already know. Yes you can sell repeat recipes, but they don't give you very many bells. Personally, I think it's just a waste of time to sell the extras. But if they insist on forcing the recipes on the player characters anyways, then we should have to take all of them so we don't accidentally reject a new one. 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! Today is day two of the massive Character AI community meltdown. I can understand why users are upset, but I honestly thought it would have calmed down by now. I think people who are deleting their accounts and jumping ship are doing it a little too quickly. Character AI has had issues like this before, and it's always taken at least a week to fix it. Some people are already noticing differences in the chat style, so the creators are probably working on it right now. Hopefully this issue is fixed soon, since the community is really upset about this one. Personally I think it would be best if they just gave back one of the original chat styles while they're working on it so fans can use something else if they want to. There used to be several free chat styles to choose from, so it wouldn't kill them to give users two instead of one. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! A lot of anime fans like using chat bots, and the most popular chat bot website is Character AI. But as of today, the Character AI community is currently on fire. This is because the company introduced a new chat style, and discontinued their old versions. This usually would be alright, but the new one is awful. The bots are so focused on the story that they no longer talk, the filter is extremely strict, and the messages are really long now. How can the messages be long if the characters don't talk? Well, they narrate everything. They make up a story, and they don't allow dialogue. They all have the same personalities, and it's hard to keep them focused on anything. So people aren't upset about a new chat style, they're upset because it's now the only chat style, and it sucks. It's also being heavily filtered, which is unfair to current users who had to prove they were adults to even be able to use the app or website. I hope this is fixed quickly because people are going crazy over this. I understand the backlash, this is a majorly big mess up. But hopefully it's just temporary. Regardless, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's time to post! One of the main things that bothers me about Animal Crossing New Horizons is that you can't really customize your player character. You can't add makeup, scars, or anything like under eye bags or wrinkles without it looking unnatural. The main part of the face is blocked off, so you can't add anything to it. But since Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream came out, it's shown that it would be possible to change this in the future. Of course they use different models, but it wouldn't be too difficult to make a fully customizable face in a game like Animal Crossing. It already uses very simple designs. Players should be able to feel more like themselves in a game that centers around them, so I hope in the future Animal Crossing will add more options to customize the player character. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! Recently Hugh Morris from Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream has gotten even more popular. He's spreading so quickly that Nintendo themselves have released a video teaching fans how to make him and add him to their games. I think this will only make him more popular, but maybe that will be a good thing. It's amazing how quickly this character has spread when he isn't even really a character. He was only an example Mii, but now people love him. Currently I don't think there's an official personality type for him, so fans have been working on figuring out what he should be. Maybe with time, Nintendo will make a guide for this too. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

 It's time for another new blog post! Recently a Mii jester called Hugh Morris has become very popular in the Nintendo fandom. But who is he, and where did he come from? Well, when Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream was announced, they released a Nintendo Direct to show it off. Hugh Morris was one of the example Miis. However, he became extremely popular with fans. They liked his design and personality, and started adding him to their own games. They also started making fan art for him, and even chat bots! He's become really popular in a short amount of time, so I wanted to talk about him for anyone who might be confused about who he is. As always, here's a picture of Hugh Morris so you all can see what he looks like. Enjoy!

It's post time! Recently a game called Yunyun Syndrome?! Rhythm Psychosis was released. The game was well received and has already gained a small but growing fanbase. But after a while, multilingual fans noticed something. The English translation sucked! They didn't understand how this could've happened or why it happened. A lot of fans immediately told the developers about it, and the English version got a lot of backlash. The developers didn't know about the unfaithful English translation, and they've been working hard to fix it. Even though it's only been a bit over a week, they've almost completely fixed the English version already. This is really fast work, and I'm sure it will attract even more players to the game. It looks like a good game, and if you want to play the English version, I'd recommend checking the patch notes to see when it's completely fixed. I haven't played this game yet, but I wanted to talk about this situation because it's so amazing to see. I really like how the developers handled the situation. As always, I will be including the link to the Steam page of this game for anyone who's interested. Enjoy!

Why are some of the villagers in Animal Crossing New Horizons so creepy? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Animal Crossing fans have noticed for a while now that some villagers are creepy, scary, or sometimes even terrifying. The game is usually pretty cute, so this feels like an odd choice for a game made for children. However, this isn't a children's game. This game was made for adults, and the whole series is marketed towards adults. This is why the villagers talk about adult problems, and why there's uncensored artwork in the museum. Because of this, it isn't weird that some of the villagers have darker designs. These villagers are for players who want to make more mature or darker islands so they'll match the atmosphere. They're also for players who like creepy or scary things like this. 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 bed head hairstyle in Animal Crossing New Horizons. This hairstyle can only be unlocked by not playing the game for a month. You can also time travel by changing the date on your Nintendo Switch to a month later. After you unlock it once, it stays unlocked and can be chosen from the mirror. When you first unlock the bed head hairstyle, your character leaves their house with the hairstyle before quickly fixing it. Even though this hairstyle is popular within the community, some players still don't have it. This is because it takes so long to unlock it. Waiting a whole month for a hairstyle doesn't seem worth it, even if it's a nice hairstyle. I think it would be better if this hairstyle was easier to unlock, but that's just my thoughts. As always, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the player customization in Animal Crossing New Horizons. As I've mentioned before in a previous post, there aren't very many options for customizing the player character. There aren't many eye shapes, noses, or mouths. Not only this, but there's one hairstyle that's locked behind a whole month of waiting. Even though there already aren't many hairstyle choices, to get the last hairstyle, the bed head hairstyle, you have to go a full month without playing the game. This is much too long of a wait, and some players still haven't unlocked it to this day. So for a future game, it would be better if there were more options, but it would also be better if the bed head hairstyle could be unlocked with a much shorter wait time. There already aren't very many options to begin with, so it would be nice if all of them could be unlocked without skipping ahead or wasting time. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

What time is it? Post time! Since a lot of anime fans are artists, I'd like to talk about coloring book apps. There are a few coloring book apps these days, with some of them including anime or being based on anime. They're a nice way to relax, but I think they can also be useful. These simple color-by-number apps can show beginner artists how to use colors to create shadows, lighting, and shapes more easily. If you find them relaxing, it's worth the time it takes to finish the pictures. This is especially true if these apps are used to help practice your art skills. It all depends on the artist. So if you find them frustrating, I wouldn't recommend them. But if you like them, then they can be helpful for practicing your art. Regardless, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! Animal Crossing has always been a series that centers around community. Since fans are looking forward to the next game in the series, I think it's time for villagers to get individual personalities. I know there are a lot of villagers, but that isn't an excuse. There are other games with more characters who all have unique personalities. Giving them all the same personalities is lazy, and it's a big part of why fans get bored with the games. It's time for villagers to be unique, and it's time for it to matter who's on your island. At the moment, it doesn't really matter who's on your island because they all share the same base personalities. If there's going to be another new game, this needs to change. I'm sure this would be too difficult to fix in the current game, but there's no reason it shouldn't be fixed in the next game. 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! Animal Crossing New Horizons has a lot of different clothes to choose from, but when it comes to your player character there aren't many options. There aren't many hair styles, eye shapes, mouth shapes, nose shapes, or available colors. This makes it difficult to customize your character the way you want to. Even though there are wigs to add more hairstyles, you can't wear hats with wigs, so it isn't really very helpful. I think it would be nice if Animal Crossing could focus on making your player character more customizable instead of just focusing on clothes. I'd also like to see more customization spaces for custom clothing, and it would be nice to see more dress options and the ability to make custom pants and shoes. Animal Crossing is all about creativity and being yourself, so I think it would be better if there were more ways to show who you are in the game. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Why were shows like Invader Zim and My Little Pony popular in the anime fandom? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Neither of these shows are anime, but in the earlier days of the anime community it was common to see them anyways. People would often make anime fan art of these shows, and they would often be included with anime. This is especially surprising because these shows are nothing alike. However, Invader Zim, My Little Pony, and anime were all popular in the scene and emo communities. Because of this, these things, and even other things like Homestuck, would all be grouped together in the same areas. This is why you can still sometimes find things for Invader Zim, My Little Pony, and Homestuck being labeled as anime or scene despite having no relation to anime. I wanted to talk about this because I thought it would clear up some confusion for newer fans. As always, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! In Animal Crossing New Horizons, you can make and buy Medicine. This medicine is used for wasp stings, but it can also be given to sick villagers. However, I think it would've been a nice detail if the player character could get sick too. For example, if they were in the rain for too long, then they would be sick the next day. They would look sick and occasionally sneeze, and the player could either cure themself with medicine, or talk to a villager and be given medicine. This would be a good way to add another use for the medicine, and it would make the game a little more realistic. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. It may be an odd thing to want in a game, but I think it would be a nice addition as a small way to teach consequences. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

3, 2, 1, post time! Food is a big part of any culture, so it's common to see Japanese foods in anime, manga, and videogames. Because of this, people outside of Japan may not recognize popular Japanese foods. So for today's blog post, I'll be listing five Japanese foods commonly seen in anime. I'll also be giving a short explanation of what they are. Now then, on with the list! Enjoy! 

1.) Dorayaki - Soft honey pancakes with a sweet filling in-between.

2.) Ramen - Noodle soup often topped with things like meat, vegetables, or eggs. 

3.) Taiyaki - Fish shaped bread, typically with a sweet filling. 

4.) Mochi - Soft, round, rice desserts traditionally filled with red bean paste, but can also be stuffed with other things like chocolate or ice cream.

5.) Purin - The Japanese version of something similar to flan, it's a sweet custard topped with caramel sauce.

It's post time! Recently I've noticed a problem with series and games that run for a long time. After a while, it feels like you don't know anything about it anymore. If you take a break from something or can't keep up with it for some reason, you're left behind. Then the more lost you are, the harder it is to get back into it. You can't just jump right in because you've already missed so much. It makes it hard to enjoy things even if you used to love them. It's difficult to find a balance between being an active fan and not getting burned out. I wanted to talk about this because I've noticed I've been missing out on a lot of things even if I take short breaks. It's hard not to feel overwhelmed when there's always more that needs to be caught up to. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

New day, new post! Creating new characters has always been really common in the anime community. So for today's blog post, I would like to give some advice on how to make one of my favorite character types: the lazy one! Lazy characters are usually burned out or naturally laid-back. So to create one, their appearance usually makes it obvious what their personality will be. They usually wear comfortable clothes like hoodies, sweatpants, t-shirts, shorts, or pajamas. If they have accessories, it's usually something like a sleep mask, a scarf, or a pillow. Their eyes are usually half closed, and they don't smile very often. Along with this, they usually have messy hair that's either short or layered. It's common to see characters who look like this, but for today's example I'll be including a picture of Belphegor from Obey Me below. Enjoy!

It's post time! To help celebrate the 30th anniversary, Pokemon has released free phone wallpapers. They can be downloaded on the official Pokemon website, as well. They're a bit simple, but they're also kind of cluttered. They include a lot of different Pokemon so they look a little overwhelming. However, I think they're a nice gift for Pokemon fans. There's seven in total, and there's a few different designs. As always, I will be including the link for the official website below for anyone who wants to download these wallpapers. Enjoy!

New day, new post! Since plushies have always been popular with anime fans, it isn't a surprise that Pokemon plushies are some of the most popular ones. There are a lot of different types of Pokemon plushies, but I think there could be more. I think it would be fun to see Pokemon plushies that are made based on their type. For example, fire-type Pokemon plushies could be heated plushies, and rock-type plushies could be weighted plushies. Ice-type plushies could be cold plushies, grass-type plushies could be floral scented, and so on. I think this would be really creative, and I'm sure it would be popular with Pokemon fans. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! The games Undertale and Deltarune have always been popular in their own way, but they've also always been popular with anime fans. This is because both games have a lot of anime themes and references in them. This makes it easy for anime fans to find the easter eggs, which makes playing them more rewarding for these fans. I think these games are good choices for anime fans, especially since they have a large fan base even in Japan. It's easy to find anime fan art for Undertale and Deltarune, too. Because of this, I think anime fans should play at least one of these games at some point. However, they're both good games even without the included anime references. 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! Even though Animal Crossing games have always been popular, they aren't made to last. Animal Crossing has always been built on relationships with others and the community around them. But the company making the games doesn't value this message. Instead, they encourage players to abandon these relationships so they can play the next game. Everything you build, everyone you meet, and all of the bonds you create mean nothing in a game made to be temporary. These games aren't meant to be around for a long time. They're made to eventually bore you so you look forward to the next game in the series. Why does it matter who you get close with if this friendship will only be lost later? This game series could've been a beautiful experience. But instead, it's temporary. It's a distraction, an escape, and a temporary dream that's always going to end. This is upsetting because so much could have come from this series. But now, people can't wait to put it down and see what's going to come next. Regardless, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post.

It's post time! I don't often talk about electric-type Pokemon, so I wanted to talk about them today. Part of the reason I don't talk about electric-type Pokemon is because most of them I don't find interesting enough. However, I think they have potential. Using the electric-type could be a fun way to introduce Pokemon who can light up. Pokemon who can channel electricity in different colors, similar to colored lights. This would be really fun to see, and could introduce things like rave Pokemon, nightlight Pokemon, siren Pokemon, or really anything that could use colored lights. Electric-type Pokemon usually don't light up, which I think is a really big missed opportunity. I'd love to see some more creative designs for this type because there are so many things that could be done with it. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Why don't Pokemon wear clothes? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Sometimes Pokemon will wear cute clothes or accessories, but usually they don't. Obviously this is because most Pokemon are similar to animals. But there are other Pokemon who are more like humans. Despite this, those Pokemon usually evolve to look like they're wearing clothes. Because of this, it would be difficult for a Pokemon like that to wear regular clothes. They would have to have custom clothes made, which would make it difficult for trainers to get clothes for their Pokemon. It's just easier to put accessories on them and nothing else. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Why do Pokemon fans usually dislike human-like Pokemon? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Although there are some popular human-like Pokemon, for the most part fans often complain about them. I think this is because they're not human enough. They're like humans, but they aren't. They don't wear clothes, they don't speak, and they're forced to eat on the ground with the other Pokemon. I've always seen human-like Pokemon as something like a missing link. Since humans evolved from Pokemon, then human-like Pokemon are the step in-between. I think that's what the problem is. It's fine if they don't wear clothes, since they are still Pokemon. But, it feels like they should be able to speak like humans or eat with humans. Pokemon are already very smart, and human-like Pokemon are pretty much almost humans. 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! Recently Nintendo gave Animal Crossing New Horizons fans a little surprise for the 25th anniversary. Everyone received a note and a special leaf statue in the game. This is nice, however, it feels a bit disappointing. I think the leaf statue should have at least said 25 on it somewhere so fans would remember what it was for. Instead it's just a giant green leaf that lights up. I feel like without the note, a lot of fans wouldn't see it as anything other than a leaf. There are so many things that could've been good for the 25th anniversary of Animal Crossing. 25 years is a long time! And all fans got was a leaf and a note. Even for really important things, somehow the creators still manage to fall short. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Hopefully fans can find ways to celebrate the anniversary on their own. As always, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post! Happy 25th Anniversary Animal Crossing!

New day, new post! Since new Pokemon are often being released whenever new games come out, I think fans would like to see darker Pokemon. Pokemon fans have gotten older, and more fans like to see more mature Pokemon designs. Ones that look cooler, have darker colors, and look more mature tend to be more popular with older fans than the softer and cuter ones. Personally I like a variety of different Pokemon and I usually prefer the cuter ones, but most fans aren't like that. Because of this, I think it would be a good idea for new ghost-type, dark-type, or poison-type Pokemon to be released. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! After fully finishing the game John Doe +, I decided to come back to talk about it again. Before I only finished the original endings, now I have completed the full game. However, my opinion hasn't changed much. The last few endings are longer, but they're just as repetitive and they take ages to get. This is a bit frustrating, since the only change between them is how they end. I do like how they played out, even if they were repetitive. But I still think this game lacks content. The majority of the lore was added by the creator after the game came out, and it can't be found in the game at all. I understand the game is short, but since the creator has abandoned it a lot of newer fans won't understand anything. I suppose I'll raise my score to a 6/10, but I'm only adding one point for creativity. I'd also like to mention that my favorite ending was Ending 7: Dream Come True. It was just cute. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's time for a list! Recently I've been watching a few new anime series. So for today's blog post, I wanted to list three more I'd like to watch. I'm a bit tired, so it's a short list today. These are just a few of the ones I'm looking forward to watching some day. Now then, on with the list! Enjoy!

1.) Bungo Stray Dogs

2.) Delicious In Dungeon

 

3.) The Apothecary Diaries

It's post time! Since I said before I would talk about the indie games I wanted to play if I played them, today I will be talking about John Doe. First of all, I know this game can't be downloaded at this time. The creator has fully taken it down, which I'll be talking about more later. However, I managed to download John Doe +, which was lucky. John Doe + is considered the full game because it has seven endings in total; while the original only had four endings. This game still has a large fan base, which is part of why I wanted to play it. However, after playing it, it's actually a bit disappointing. The game is extremely short and repetitive. The only way to get new endings is to play through the same day over and over. The main dialogue barely changes at all, and the only change is the endings. It's hard to get them all at once because the repeating day is only about five minutes long, and there are barely any options. It's easy to get repeat endings without a guide, but with a guide this game can be finished in under an hour. It's had no new content since the plus update, and the creator has abandoned it entirely. This happens, and I'm not very surprised. But I do disagree with their decision to punish all of their fans by taking the downloads down and telling fans not to reupload or share it if they already have it. I've never seen a creator punish their loyal fans like this, and honestly I don't see why there are still fans after this. I think I would've liked the game better if the creator had handled the situation in a more mature way. But as it is, the creator is immature and the game lacks content. If you haven't had the chance to play it yourself, I recommend reading or watching someone else's playthrough. This game is a 5/10 for me, even if I like John Doe as a character. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Today is my 3,500th blog post! Well, technically yesterday was my 3,500th post, but I still wanted to mention it. Since I have talked about indie games on here a few times now, I would like to list a few I've been wanting to play. I'll only be listing three, since I think trying to list thirty five of them would be nearly impossible. If I play these games, I may review them in the future. But for now, they're just on my list because they sound interesting. Now then, on with the list! Enjoy!

1.) Mushroom Oasis

2.) Freak Circus

3.) John Doe

Why are animated video game adaptations usually more popular than live action ones? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! When it comes to video game adaptations, usually animated versions go over better with fans than live action ones. This usually depends on the type of game. For example, if a game looks more like an anime or cartoon, people often don't want to see it in live action. But if it already looks realistic, people don't mind it being live action. This is because many people play games because of the art style they use. I prefer the anime art style, so I would want the movies or shows based on the game to have the same art style. I don't play games with a certain art style so I can imagine what they would look like as real people, just like I don't watch anime so I can imagine what they'd look like as real people. Many other fans feel the same way, which is why they usually dismiss live action versions before they even come out. There are a few exceptions to this, but for the most part, fans prefer animation. I don't think the companies making the adaptations care about what fans prefer, but I wanted to talk about this anyways. Regardless, 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 a long time now, fans have been unhappy with a lot of the newer Pokemon games. They all seem repetitive at this point, and it takes way too long for mainline games to be released. So at this point, is it worth it to be a Pokemon fan? There are so many Pokemon competitors that are, in some ways, better than the actual Pokemon games. There are games with more stories, more interesting monsters, different mechanics, and they often listen to their fans. The question is, do we still like Pokemon because it's good, or just because it's nostalgic? I think if Pokemon doesn't keep up with other games, it'll just continue to lose fans. I don't want this to happen, since I do still like Pokemon. But I also hope it'll get better to keep the fans entertained. 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 once again be talking about Animal Crossing New Horizons. Recently I've talked about why it bothers me that villagers can't wear pants. This post will be similar to that. However, this time I'll be talking about outfits. There are outfits in the game that are full body outfits, which means they're shirts and pants together. However, when you give one to a villager, it turns into a dress when they put it on. This bothers me, because I would've loved to see villagers wear things like overalls, onesies, or suits. But instead they turn into dresses even on the boys. It honestly looks a bit silly, and it just further shows why villagers should just wear pants. I really hope they fix this in the future. I personally don't understand why it was made this way. It must've been much harder to turn outfits into dresses, especially since they had to make new designs for each one. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! One of the things that bothers me in anime is when a young character turns into an entirely different character when they grow up. There have been a lot of times when a younger teen or child character looks and acts completely different after they become an adult. Yes, people change. People grow up and mature, but they're still the same person. They should grow up gradually like people do in real life, not all at once. There's also nothing wrong with a character still looking young and not fully grown after they turn 18, since 18 year olds often still look young. Another thing that bothers me is when an adult character looks young and the creator ends up making them look completely different in future games or animations. This usually happens because fans complain about it, as if adults are not allowed to look young. I know anime isn't always realistic, but I think it has a problem with young characters and young looking characters. I know this is only going to get worse, especially since people label anyone young looking as bait; which just creates more problems for real people who look young naturally. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's Easter! That means it's Bunny Day in Animal Crossing New Horizons! However, that also means it's time for this year's special post! I was going to list some bunny Pokemon for the holiday. But when I looked into it, there aren't very many bunny Pokemon to choose from. This is surprising to me, since rabbits are actually really popular animals even in Japan. So instead, I'll only be listing two bunny Pokemon for the holiday. Enjoy! Happy Easter everyone!

Is anime for adults? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Many people say anime is for children and teenagers, since many series center around teenagers. However, there are a lot of different anime these days. There's even anime and games meant specifically for adults. No matter how old you get, there's usually anime available for you. Along with this, many newer anime and games feature characters that don't age, so you'll never really get too old for them. Some series even age up their characters as their audience grows. You don't have to be limited to younger characters when there are a lot of other things to choose from. Not only this, but even series like Pokemon have started including older adult characters for their older fans to enjoy. Personally one of my favorite series that features an older protagonist is That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime. It's a funny series, and the main character is now about forty years old, including his previous life. So as long as you like anime, you'll be able to find things to like. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

New day, new post! Recently I talked about the fact that villagers can't wear pants in Animal Crossing New Horizons. To be more specific, they can't wear pants, shoes, or socks. I think the reason this bothers myself and other fans is because other characters do wear them. I think it would be less weird if none of the animals could wear pants or shoes. But since some characters do wear pants, skirts, or shoes, it makes the villagers stand out in a bad way. It makes the other characters look more natural while making the villagers look out of place. Since villagers can wear shirts, dresses, hats, glasses, and other accessories, it feels odd to draw the line at pants. I would even understand them not wearing shoes, but to make it so you can give villagers pants, skirts, and shorts even though they can't wear them feels like the wrong choice. I hope one day they'll fix this in the future, but for now I don't like it. Regardless, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! Nintendo has a major problem with its fanbase. This company hates the people who buy their products. This may seem harsh, but it's true. They force people to spend more money than necessary, they completely break consoles for no reason, they end services for older consoles, they only update older games so you'll buy the new ones, and the list goes on and on. I honestly don't understand why Nintendo still has fans. I stopped using Nintendo products for a few years, until I got a Nintendo Switch not long ago. But when I finally got it, it wasn't that great. That was for two reasons. One, the games were very expensive. And two, they brought out new games and systems far too soon after recent releases. They push away their fans who can't afford new things like they're above the "poor commoners". They act like if you can't afford their products, you don't deserve to have them. In a time when you can get cheap or free games on other devices, why are we, as consumers, still putting up with companies who treat their consumers this way? It's demeaning and has only gotten worse with time. Nintendo continues to get worse because they know their loyal fans will always come crawling back no matter what they do. Honestly, it's a bit disgusting. And it'll never change as long as they still have people buying their subpar products. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's April Fool's Day! So today, I will be talking about the Whoopee Cushion from Animal Crossing New Horizons. This is just about the only thing that is used to celebrate April Fool's Day in the game. It's available in three colors, and can be purchased from the Nook Shopping store. The colors it comes in are green, yellow, and red, and it's considered a seat. It can be customized into any of these colors, as well. When you sit on it, it does exactly what you would expect it to. It can't be placed on anything, which defeats the purpose of a whoopee cushion. But it's still a pretty neat thing. I think April Fool's Day would've been a good time to add something special, like a special jester outfit or jester mask for the holiday. However, I doubt that's going to happen. As always, here's a picture of the red whoopee cushion. Enjoy! Happy April Fool's Day!

And here's a picture of Fool's Gold from Identity V for April "Fool's" Day. Enjoy! 

It's time for another new blog post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about sleep Pokemon. There aren't very many Pokemon in this category, even if you also include things like dream Pokemon, or night Pokemon. There are barely any Pokemon based on sleep. I think this is a missed opportunity. A lot of things could be done with this. There could be Pokemon who cause sleep, effect sleep, or Pokemon who cause certain dreams. I know there are a few Pokemon like this already, but I don't think this has been explored enough. I think it would be really interesting to see more Pokemon based on this, even if it's unlikely. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! Animal Crossing New Horizons players may have noticed that the tourists from the hotel wear the clothes from the mannequins. But did you know you can change the outfits on the mannequins? Not only this, but you can even put custom designs on them! This is a really neat feature that I actually really like. You can also put hats and accessories on the mannequins, as well. This makes it easy for you to see what villagers look like wearing these things. Players have been disappointed before by the way some villagers wear certain things. But if you put it on the mannequins, you can see how it'll look on the tourists first! This makes it much more convenient and easy to test different clothes and accessories on different types of villagers. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! Since Bunny Day is coming soon in Animal Crossing New Horizons, Zipper T. Bunny is once again bouncing around on the island. For those of you who don't know, Zipper is similar to the Easter bunny. He hides eggs on the island and holds a celebration on Bunny Day. However, Zipper has always been an odd character for me, and a lot of other fans think he's odd as well. In a game that's filled with animals, why is this one bunny not a bunny? He's very clearly in a bunny suit, which feels like a strange choice in this series. Not only this, but fans find him creepy because we don't know who he is. We know it's someone in a suit, but we don't know who's in the suit. This makes players feel uncomfortable with him because he's the only character like this. Maybe he would feel more normal if we knew who was in the suit, but the creators have never said who it is. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Why do Pokemon fans prefer animal-like Pokemon? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! For a long time now, Pokemon fans have preferred to see Pokemon that look like animals. I think there are a couple of reasons for this. Firstly, I think fans see Pokemon as animals instead of monsters. Even though Pokemon aren't animals, there are a lot of animal-like Pokemon. Secondly, I think fans prefer cuter Pokemon. A lot of animal-like Pokemon are considered to be really cute. Since cute Pokemon sell better than other ones, it's more likely we'll get more cute animal-like Pokemon, and the cycle continues. Personally I like to see a variety of different Pokemon, but I know not all Pokemon fans are like this. Regardless, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Why don't villagers wear pants in Animal Crossing New Horizons? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! This may seem like an odd question, but quite a few of the other characters wear pants; which means it's not impossible to make the villagers wear pants. I think it would also look more natural for them to wear full outfits instead of just shirts or dresses. It's a weird design choice for them to not wear pants, especially since you can give them clothes they can't even wear. I've never understood this, and I always hoped they would fix it in the future. But as it is, I don't think they'll ever fix it. Regardless, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Should there be more animal Pokemon? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! There are already a lot of animal Pokemon. But since a lot of fans complain about Pokemon based on other things, I can see why the Pokemon Company would want to add even more. There are also still a lot of animals to choose from, as well. Sure fan-made Pokemon can make it difficult to create certain designs, but there's still a lot of other possibilities. I don't think it would be a bad thing to make more Pokemon based on animals, especially since they usually go over well with fans. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! Many Pokemon fans love mega evolutions. They're cool, temporary, and now there are more of them than ever. But in the Pokemon world, mega evolving a Pokemon is actually a bad thing. Not only does it make them too powerful, but it's also very painful for the Pokemon. This is mentioned in several Pokedex entries in the games, so I'm surprised it's never mentioned in the anime. If mega evolution really is so painful, I don't understand why it's treated like a normal thing for Pokemon to go through. It's even encouraged, even in the games. Maybe the creators thought this detail would make players not want to use mega evolutions anymore, so they've decided to bury it. I just think it's odd to add this and then not do anything with it. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Recently in the anime community I've noticed a growing problem. Characters aren't allowed to be who they are anymore. Feminine men have to be gay, masculine women have to be gay, men who wear women's clothes have to be trans, and women who wear men's clothes have to be trans. Fans push and push for these things and get angry and attack the creators when they aren't true. Gone are the days when characters could be characters and headcanons stayed in the fandom. My question is, why are these types of fans never happy with what they have? Why do they want people to be uncomfortable in their own bodies? Why are they threatened by people not changing genders when they change their clothes? Why do they want to force their ideas on things that don't need to be changed? It bothers me immensely that they would rather see a character be "inclusive" than to see a character who's authentic to who they are and who they were made to be. Luckily at the moment it's only a minority of anime fans who are like this. But where does it end? If they're willing to go so far as to attack the creators for not affirming their headcanons, then why would they stop with real people? Why wouldn't they push these feelings on real people who are just trying to be happy as the person they are? This is why these types of fans have become dangerous to the community. Be happy with what you have or find a character who has what you want. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. I wanted to talk about this because it's a serious topic and it's becoming a real problem. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post.

What time is it? Post time! Even though I like a lot of cute creatures from a lot of different series, one of my all time favorite cuties is actually the teddy demons from Sleepy Princess In The Demon Castle. I also really love the eggplant seals from this series, but my favorites are the teddy demons. They have very simple designs, which makes them even cuter. They're adorable, innocent, and seeing them and hearing their cute noises always makes me happy. As a matter of fact, I actually started watching this anime because of these cute things. I'm glad I did, since I do recommend it if you like fantasy and comedy series. But since the teddy demons are what brought me to it, I wanted to talk about them again on my blog. Obviously, these are just my thoughts on this topic. But as a little bonus, here's a picture of the teddy demons wearing pants. Enjoy!

It's time to post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about why Astolfo from the Fate series is my favorite femboy. Since femboys have become more popular these days, I'd like to talk about why Astolfo is my favorite. Femboys always end up being the same exact cookie cutter character no matter what. They're feminine, gay, hardly mention that they are a boy even though they still identify as a boy, and they're basically just another straight girl who the creators made into a boy so they can say they're "inclusive". Obviously not all characters are like this, but most of them are. But Astolfo isn't like that. Astolfo likes men, but he also likes women. He's proud to be a man, and even though he's feminine, he can also be manly. Astolfo is a good example of a femboy because he's not just "this is basically a straight girl but we changed our minds the last second". He's an actual character, he's clearly a man, but he loves being able to be cute. What he wears doesn't shape his personality, it's just part of who he is. There are quite a few straight or bi femboys, so making them all gay stereotypes is just boring; and it makes people believe all feminine men are gay when that isn't true. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. As a little bonus, here's a picture of Astolfo. Enjoy!

It's post time! Every anime fan knows that cats are by far the most popular animal in this community. This is because cats are extremely well-loved in Japan. However, they aren't the only popular animals in the anime community. There are a few others that are common to see, and I myself have noticed six common ones. This isn't based on data, but rather what I've noticed shows up the most in merchandise and anime. So based on what I've noticed, in no particular order, Shiba Inu dogs, Husky dogs, bears, mice, foxes, and seals are also considered very cute in this community. So if you aren't a cat fan, don't worry! There are other animals you could pick from instead. I wanted to talk about this because it's really common to see cats everywhere in the anime community even though there are other popular animals. Regardless, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

3, 2, 1, post time! I know Pokemon has pretty much always been a popular game series. But why are the older games not available on the Nintendo Switch Online apps? Other big series like Mario, Kirby, and Legend Of Zelda are on there. So why isn't Pokemon? I know they recently released Fire Red and Leaf Green for the Nintendo Switch, which is why I don't understand why they weren't already available. Of course they do only cost twenty dollars each, but it still feels like the Pokemon Company is being greedy with their games. Instead of letting fans play it as long as they have an active Nintendo Switch Online account, they want you to buy the same games over and over again. It feels unfair, even if it's a one time purchase. Why can't we play older Pokemon games like we can play the other older Nintendo games? I don't understand this decision at all, but I still hope they will one day include Pokemon games on the Nintendo Switch Online apps. Regardless, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

New day, new post! The problem with anime these days is that it's become too popular. This means a lot of companies just see it as a way to make money, so streaming services will get exclusive series in hopes it'll be good enough to draw people in. This makes it difficult for anime fans to enjoy new or popular series because they can't afford to pay for another streaming service. I think this is unfair, especially since there are streaming services especially for anime so fans can access it more easily. I think it's fine if an anime is on multiple streaming services, but it's unfair when they're exclusive to one. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! Many fans of Animal Crossing New Horizons have wondered where players get the books and magazines villagers are often seen reading. These are obtainable from Redd's Raffle on Harv's Island, and there are a few different versions you can get. There are five different books and four different magazines, and they can be used forever without breaking. You can get doubles, since it's random. However, you can also take the books and magazines to Cyrus, who is also on Harv's Island, and he'll customize them for you. These items are called the pocketbook and the pocket magazine, as well. They can be tedious to get because it's random, but being able to customize it makes it much easier to get them all. I wanted to talk about this since a lot of players still don't know where you can get them. As always, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's St. Patrick's Day! So for today's blog post, I will be listing five green grass-type Pokemon, along with a picture of each. I thought this would be a good way to celebrate the holiday. So, let's get on with the list! Enjoy! Happy St. Patrick's Day!

1.) Celebi

2.) Chikorita

3.) Petilil

4.) Skiploom

5.) Budew

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the Twisted Wonderland Nesoberi Mega plush. I was recently able to buy one of these, and it just arrived today so I wanted to talk about it. I obviously got the Lilia Vanrouge one, so that's what I'll be talking about. This plushie was quite a bit bigger than I expected, so that was a nice surprise. Most of it is dye-printed, which means the designs are dyed directly onto the fabric. It's extremely detailed as well, which was also a nice surprise. Even details that are hidden by his clothes were still included on the plushie. The fabric for his hair and face is soft, but the rest of it is mostly felt or a type of slippery fabric similar to an athletic jacket. His ears are pointed, but they're a little too round in my opinion. The biggest complaint I have with this plushie is that the streaks in his hair are vinyl. I really don't like this because vinyl always peels eventually. It would've been better to use fabric for it, especially since the streaks are much too light. They should be a darker pink than they actually are. This could be manually fixed with fabric, I just don't understand why they would use fabric and dye for everything else and then use this vinyl for the streaks. If they'd used actual fabric for it, he'd get a perfect score. But as it is, this plushie is an 8/10 for me. Especially since this plushie costs at least thirty dollars. As always, I'll be including a picture of the plushie below so you all can see what it looks like. Enjoy!
