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!

Why do anime fans dislike live action remakes? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! A lot of anime fans don't like live action versions of anime series for a few reasons. First of all, a lot of people watch anime because it's anime. Anime has a really good art style that many people love, so making it live action ruins that. It's also difficult to recreate many scenes in a way that makes it look as good as it did in animation. Live action versions are also just unnecessary. Why make the same thing twice? Along with this, a lot of live action projects are just cheap cash grabs being made by people who don't watch, like, or appreciate the original source material. It's almost always awful and most of them are just trying to get money from something that already has fans. I'm looking at you, Netflix Death Note. Anime fans like anime because it's anime, not because we secretly want to watch real people try to cosplay as the thing we'd rather be watching. I think companies should just give up the live action thing and just let us enjoy things as they are. 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 Pokemon games. Since Pokemon has been around for a long time now, the games have gotten a bit confusing. So, I'll explain. With Pokemon games, there are mainline games, and spin-off games. Mainline games are story-based and usually take a lot longer to make. Spin-off games are more for exploring the world instead. There are spin-off games that are like mainline games, since they have a similar format but are set in different time periods or alternate universes. There's more to it than this, but these are the basics, so I'll end it here. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! Since today is Friday the 13th again, I'd like to talk about Pokemon. Since there aren't really any bad luck Pokemon, I think it would be a good idea if ghost-type Pokemon were more common on Friday the 13th. It would make sense for ghost-type Pokemon to become more common on days associated with bad luck, especially since a lot of ghost Pokemon are associated with superstitions and causing mischief. Although I'd like to see actual bad luck Pokemon, I don't think that'll happen any time soon. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Was Harv's Island unnecessary in Animal Crossing New Horizons? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Harv's Island is where all of the shops that aren't on your island are. However, I think it wasn't needed. There's more than enough space on the main island for these shops. But even if you don't want them all at once, they could switch out throughout the week. You could have a few shops on your island at a time, one building with multiple shops, or even just all of the shops at once. But instead, you have to fly to a different island every time you need anything from a different shop. It's a waste of time, and it's extremely tedious. Because of this, I think Harv's Island shouldn't have existed. Especially since the creators could've just made the main island bigger if they were worried the shops would take up too much space. 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 items in Animal Crossing New Horizons. One of my biggest pet peeves with this game is items that have different colors, but can't be customized normally. There are items in the game that come in different colors, but the colors can't be changed at a regular workbench. Instead, you either have to wait for the different color to pop up in the store, which is basically not ever going to happen, or you have to buy it and take it to Cyrus on Harv's Island. This is so frustrating because it means you have to go all the way to a different island every time you want something in a different color. You can almost never just buy it that way, and you can't do it yourself either. I don't understand why we can customize some things and not others. It makes no sense and it would've been easier to just make everything like this customizable. 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 fans were looking forward to with the newest Animal Crossing New Horizons update was the possibility of more custom design slots. There's a surprisingly small amount of custom design spaces in this game. Since they only cover one tile when you use them for your island, many things require multiple custom design spaces to make one full design. This means you can run out of spaces extremely fast. Not only this, but you can run out of custom clothing spaces pretty fast too. But unfortunately, we weren't given more design slots. In fact, fans didn't get very much of anything with the update, and we likely won't get anything else since Nintendo is pushing the next game in the series instead. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

What is heterochromia? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! This is something that's somewhat common to see in anime, since it's a good way to make a character stand out. Heterochromia is when each eye is a different color. It's a real condition, but you'll see it much more often in anime than you will in real life. Characters with different colored eyes are usually very popular, since it's a popular design choice. It's a good way to make a character look unique, so many artists like to give their characters these eyes. As always, here's a picture of Obanai Iguro from Demon Slayer as an example. Enjoy!

Does Sanrio have too many collaborations? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Sanrio partners up with other brands all the time, so there are a lot of different things that Sanrio has made by now. This is good for some reasons, like if someone likes Sanrio and something else, there's a good chance it exists. However, this makes it nearly impossible for collectors. By this point, there's just no way anyone could collect everything Sanrio has made, there's too much of it. This means anyone who collects Sanrio will have to be causal collectors, because no one could ever collect everything. Because of this, I think the question of whether they have too many collaborations or not really depends on the person. Personally I think there is way too much sometimes, but other times I like some of their new merchandise. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Should there be more animal-like Pokemon? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! One of the most common complaints from Pokemon fans are Pokemon who don't look like animals. There are Pokemon who look human-like, ones who look like objects, ones that look like food, and ones that don't really look like anything. Even though some fans complain about this, I think this is what makes them interesting. You never know what to expect. Pokemon have never been animals, they're literally Pocket Monsters. Even though the name was changed, we shouldn't forget that Pokemon can be anything. There are animal-like Pokemon, but Pokemon aren't animals; so I don't think there should be more of them that look like animals when there are already so many that do. 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 a while now, the Pokemon company has started making Pokemon who are beautiful to look at, but are actually very dangerous and terrifying. Why is this? Well, this is actually very common to see in real animals. Since a lot of Pokemon fans are older now, it makes it much easier to include these scary details in Pokedex entries. Many children don't read Pokedex entries, so they're really more for older fans now. I think this allows the creators to be more creative with the traits they give Pokemon. It allows them to lean into more darker themes, as well. I think this is why dangerous Pokemon have become more common to see with time. 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 a long time, game companies have been forcing fans to buy new consoles by only releasing games for the new consoles. Not only does this push away current fans, but it also makes it so people feel pressured to spend money they may not even have. This is why a lot of people are starting to prefer computer games. Many computer games can be played even on older computers, and now most modern controllers are compatible with computers too. Why buy a new system when you can play on something you already own? Even mobile games have gotten better these days, and a lot of them are free to play; which makes it even easier to play a different game instead of the ones that may not be available to you. If gaming companies want people to buy their games, then they should make it so everyone can buy and play them instead of immediately pushing away their current fans as soon as they release a new console. 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! For today's blog post, I'd like to talk about how people watch anime in the community. A lot of anime fans only watch mainstream anime, but they ignore the less popular ones. Other anime fans are the opposite of this. But as anime continues to grow in popularity, I think it's important for fans to explore a lot of different types of anime. Many good series get overlooked and forgotten because people ignore them. Because of this, I think if an anime sounds interesting, it should be watched regardless of how popular it is. Some fans only want safe popular things, and others want unique things. But I think anime should be enjoyed regardless of how many people like it. It doesn't really matter if something is popular or not, or what other people think about it, what matters is if you like 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 a long time, fans of Fate/Grand Order have debated about the gender of Enkidu. Most of the fans agree he's a man, others think he's genderless, and some think he's a girl. If you've noticed, I'm calling him a male. This is because recently this year's Chaldea Boys collection has been revealed, and one of the featured characters is Enkidu. That's right, the game itself has finally confirmed that Enkidu is a male. This is especially true because the announcement specified that this collection is for males only. So to put the argument to rest, Enkidu is a male. This won't change much in the fandom, but I wanted to talk about it anyways. Fans have asked about this quite a bit before, so it's nice to finally have an answer. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post! And in case you don't believe me, here's a screenshot from the official announcement. Enjoy!

Will there ever be a new Pokemon type? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! We haven't gotten a new permanent Pokemon type in a very long time. This is likely because the ones we have are enough. However, there are a lot of things that would make a good new type. Adding a new type would also make the games more interesting. Many fans complain about the fact that battles have become stale. No matter what a Pokemon is, if you know its type, you can easily win battles with it. Because of this, I think adding even one more new type would bring people back to the games. Despite this, I think it's very unlikely that this will ever happen. New types have almost never been added because they change the games too much. I think we may never get a new type, mainly because it would be too much work to add it; and the Pokemon company does not seem to like extra work. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Why are games announced so long before their release dates? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Games have always been announced months before they actually come out. This is so they can advertise the game and get fans excited for it, because then they're more likely to buy it right away. However, recently they've been announcing games years in advance. This is a really bad marketing decision. Nobody wants to wait that long for anything, and many people end up just forgetting about it after months of waiting. Not only this, but it gives people too much time to raise their expectations. Fans will always be disappointed by anything that makes them wait that long. This is because people believe if you have to wait that long, it must be for a really amazing reason. So if a game is just an average game, even if it's a good game, people will always find something wrong with it. Because of this, I don't know why companies think it's a good idea to announce their games this far in advance; especially since it will only cause the game to fall short of expectations. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
