It's time for another new blog post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about how to catch wasps in Animal Crossing New Horizons. Wasps are a dangerous bug in this game. But unlike scorpions and tarantulas, wasps do not have an easy way to catch them. Instead, they just charge your character automatically. So how do you catch them? Well, it's a bit more complicated. You have to shake the tree with your net ready, then run away enough to create a small gap between your character and the wasps. After that, you turn to face the wasps and swing your net. This means you have to keep your trees in an open place, but only the trees that don't have fruit on them. There are only five wasps everyday, as well. If you catch all five of them in a row, you'll get a Nook Miles achievement for it. Once you get the hang of it, it'll become really easy to catch wasps! Wasps sell for 2,500 bells each at Nook's Cranny, or 3,750 bells each when sold to Flick. So they're also a good way to earn some extra bells! As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! It's a somewhat well-known fact that some Pokemon are based on Japanese spirits and stories. But with more Pokemon always being made, I'd like to see some from other parts of the world. There are so many to choose from, which means there's a lot of potential! I'm sure a lot of other fans would like to see this too. There are so many other spirits and stories from other places that would make really good Pokemon. For example, a Pokemon based on a selkie could start out as a seal and evolve into something more human-like. There are a lot of other examples of this, but that's all I'll say for today. 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 love talking about lesser known Sanrio characters, because they always get overshadowed by the popular ones. So for today's blog post, I will be talking about Lloromannic. This is actually two characters, and their name is Cinnamoroll spelled backwards. Along with this, they were released in 2007. Their names are Cherry and Berry, and they're two little demons. Berry is a dark gray demon boy, and Cherry is a pink demon girl. They're rivals of Cinnamoroll, too. Although they're always together, they're not twins. Instead, they're best friends. They love making mischief and playing pranks, as well. They live in a mysterious mirror world on the outskirts of Sucre Town, and the mirror is hidden inside of a haunted house. They aren't very well known, but I think these two are very cute. I'd love to see them get more attention in the future. As always, I will be including a picture of Berry and Cherry below so you all can see what they look like. Enjoy!

New day, new post! Since a new Pokemon game is on the way, fans are once again asking for a new Eevee evolution. It's been a long time since the last one, so fans are getting impatient. Some fans think this would be a good opportunity to introduce the scrapped flying-type Eevee evolution that was talked about before. However, that Eevee evolution was scrapped because it was too similar to a fan-made Pokemon. There are way, way, too many fan-made Eevee evolutions out there, and every time a new one comes out, that's one less design for an official Pokemon. Fans know this but they just won't stop making them. This is why it's so unlikely that there will be a new Eevee evolution. Fans can only hope that one day The Pokemon Company will be able to find a design that hasn't been used yet. But at the moment, there's no chance. Especially since if they do accidentally release one that's similar to a fan-made Pokemon, then fans will throw a fit like they always do. All I can say is, if you want to see a new Eevee evolution, stop making fan designs. Otherwise, accept the fact that you and everyone else are making it impossible to get a new Eevee evolution. 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 Sony announced a new mascot character called Nemu The Night Owl. Nemu is a bear who's always tired because he can't sleep. He's sensitive, anxious, and stays awake all night because he worries too much. A lot of people are already saying Nemu was created to compete with Hello Kitty, but really characters like this have always been popular in Japan. It's more likely Sony just wanted to be part of it. There are already a lot of plans for this new character, and I think he's really very cute. I don't think there's anything wrong with Sony making cute characters like this, as long as it's done well. I know a lot of people are already dismissing Nemu's entire existence as a cheap rip-off cash grab, but I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with this new character. As always, I will be including a picture of Nemu The Night Owl and his sheep friend below so you all can see what he looks like. Enjoy!

Is Hello Kitty a girl or a cat? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! This has been a long debated question for Sanrio fans for literally years now, even though the answer is very simple. But before I answer this question, let me explain the situation. Years ago, the American representative for the Sanrio company started telling people in interviews that Hello Kitty is actually a little girl. Fans were rightfully very confused and angry about this, but these claims just kept coming. However, this was all just a big misunderstanding. Hello Kitty is a cat. The idea that she's "a little girl" comes from a mistranslation of the statement calling Hello Kitty a little British girl. That description is to simply tell fans that she's a young girl from London, not that she's a human. Never has the Japanese company ever said that she's a human girl. She's a young girl, not a young human girl. She and her family are all cats. That's all. I don't understand how this got so out of hand when it's very obvious she's a cat. Believing otherwise because somebody who had no hand in creating her said so is honestly just pretty dumb. She's a cat, her sister is a cat, her parents are cats, and her pet cat is a different type of cat. It's even been confirmed what breed of cat Hello Kitty is. She's a Japanese Bobtail. So if anyone tells you she's a little human girl in a costume, tell them to be quiet. I'm so tired of this misinformation being spread around as facts. Regardless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's time to post! There are some anime protagonists that are more well-known than the anime themselves. They're usually almost exclusively shonen anime, and the most obvious ones that come to mind are Naruto and Goku. Although this helps people outside of the anime community discover anime, it also causes problems within the anime community. It makes fans say things like "this is good, but it's not as good as this other popular anime", and it makes it difficult for new anime to take off. The most well-known example of this was My Hero Academia. Although it did end up becoming popular, when it first came out it was completely dismissed by anime fans. They called it "Green Naruto" and accused it of being a direct rip-off. People who actually watched the show would know it's nothing like Naruto. But anyone who tried to say this were completely drowned out by the people who were dismissing it. I'm glad to see it managed to overcome this, but not all anime are so lucky. Sometimes genuinely good anime are stomped out of existence before they even get a chance just because it resembles a different more popular anime. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. I wanted to talk about this to bring attention to what a problem it's become in recent years. I hope it doesn't continue to be a problem, because there are some good anime out there that deserve a chance. Regardless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's time to post! Over the years, Disney has had quite a bit of success with blending their classic Disney movies with anime. There have been a few flops, but things like Kingdom Hearts, Tsum Tsums, and Twisted Wonderland have all become very popular within the Disney and anime communities. Because of this, I would love to see more things like this. Art, plushies, merchandise, games, or even movies and shows would be really fun to see. Things like this would have to be made in the Japanese branch of Disney, but I think many fans would love to see this. There are a lot of anime fans who also like Disney, which is why it usually goes over well when Disney creates things like 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! For today's blog post, I will be talking about wasps in Animal Crossing New Horizons. Wasps are supposed to spawn five times guaranteed on your island everyday unless you don't have enough plain trees, since they only spawn in hardwood or cedar trees. Despite this, I've never had five wasps spawn in one day, even after shaking every plain tree on the island. Sometimes I only have them spawn while I'm gathering wood, even after I've already shaken the tree. Because of this, I find them to be complete nuisances, just like real wasps. I never have enough time to catch them, because you can only catch them if you're already holding a net when the wasp nest falls. If I shake a tree and nothing falls out, I'm obviously not going to be holding a net if I shake the tree a second time. Other Animal Crossing fans swear this doesn't happen, and that the nest falls out of the tree on the first shake every time. But it's just happened to me three times already today, so that's a lie. I wish there was some way to know if a tree had a wasp nest in it already, because right now it's a gamble and I'm always on the losing end. 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 most popular animals these days is the axolotl, which is why it's surprising that there isn't really a Pokemon for it. Yes, of course, there's Wooper; and some people think Mudkip might've been based on an axolotl. But nobody knows if Mudkip is an axolotl, and the only thing that makes Wooper an axolotl is what's on its head. These aren't really axolotls, they're just loosely based on them. I'd like to see an actual axolotl Pokemon someday, not something loosely based on one. There's a lot of potential for a Pokemon like this, and I think fans would love it. There's no reason we couldn't get another axolotl Pokemon either, since a lot of other Pokemon are different versions of the same animal. 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! Today I had the opportunity to try the Witch's Brew Alani Nu energy drink, which is one of the flavors I talked about in yesterday's blog post. It's supposed to be caramel green apple, but I don't taste the caramel at all. It's entirely green apple. Still, I think this is a very good flavor for Halloween. The drink itself is clear, so the color doesn't really matter. But after trying it, I still think it would fit well in Twisted Wonderland. It feels like something Idia Shroud or Lilia Vanrouge would drink. Even though I couldn't imagine Lilia on caffeine, it sounds like a nightmare. Regardless, I think this one would be good for a Disney or Twisted Wonderland theme. I really like the art on the can this year, even if the drink itself is very tart. 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 the energy drink brand Alani Nu released their Halloween flavors for this year. There's three flavors this year, Witch's Brew, Ruby Apple, and Voodoo Vanilla. Now, usually I wouldn't talk about this on this blog even if I was interested in it personally. But the art on this year's cans look just like something from Twisted Wonderland. It reminded me of Twisted Wonderland as soon as I saw it, so I wanted to talk about it on my blog today. The flavors are caramel green apple, caramel red apple, and whipped cream with marshmallow vanilla. I'm not sure where to get them, or how much they cost. I just wanted to talk about it because I thought the art on the cans looked like something from Twisted Wonderland. I've tried this energy drink brand before, and I liked it, so I recommend it for anyone who likes energy drinks. However, I haven't tried these flavors yet because they were just released. If you're interested in trying these flavors, remember that energy drinks are intended for people who are 18 and older, who have no major heart or other major health conditions, and aren't pregnant. The caffeine can have negative side effects otherwise. As always, I'll be including a picture of these new flavors below so you all can see what the cans look like. Enjoy!

It's time for another new blog post! When it comes to anime characters who are gamers, otakus, or hackers, it's really common to see them eating junk food and drinking soda or energy drinks. This is why it became really common to see people outside of the anime fandom saying all anime fans are like this. However, since most anime characters aren't like this, it feels wrong for this to become the most common myth about anime fans. Yes, some anime fans are like this, and I can understand why they make gamer characters like this since it's common in that community. Maybe it's because anime and videogames cross over frequently, so anime fans and gamers are seen as the same thing. It's hard to tell. I just wanted to talk about this because a lot of people think anime fans are really unhealthy and gross, but so many people are fans of anime these days that there's no way everyone can be like this. 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'd like to talk about the Game Boy. Game Boys are still popular today, and they were the first console for many gamers. The original Game Boy was released in 1989, and they were handheld consoles with pixel graphics and a black and white screen. Along with this, they were created by Nintendo. As their popularity grew, Nintendo wanted to improve the console. So they created the Game Boy Color. It was the same graphics, but now in color. The Game Boy Color became popular because of games like Pokemon and Kirby. Many people started gaming with a Game Boy Color, and almost no one actually talks about the original Game Boy these days. Game Boy consoles stopped being created a long time ago, so a lot of individual people and companies have recreated them for fans. This is one of the most common consoles that people still talk about to this day, so I'm sure even people who have never used a Game Boy before at least know what they are. As always, I'll be including a picture of a Game Boy Color below so you all can see what they look like. Enjoy!

It's post time! A while ago, I posted my 3,600th blog post. However, I never thought of what to do for the milestone this time. So, today I'll be talking about the 36th Pokemon, and the 360th Pokemon; according to the official Pokedex on the Pokemon website. This one is pretty interesting, because the 36th Pokemon is Clefable and the 360th Pokemon is Wynaut. These two really couldn't be more different! Wynaut is a baby Pokemon, and Clefable is a final evolution. Wynaut is blue, Clefable is pink. Wynaut is a psychic-type, Clefable is a fairy-type. I suppose these two Pokemon just show how different Pokemon can be from each other. Although they are both still cute. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. As always, I'll be including pictures of Clefable and Wynaut below so you all can see what they look like. Enjoy!

Clefable

Wynaut

Is Disney anime? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Obviously it's easy to say Disney isn't related to anime in any way. However, because Disney has a Japanese branch, this means some things made by Disney are anime. Things like Tsum Tsums, Twisted Wonderland, Kingdom Hearts, and other obvious things are accepted into the anime fandom. This is because they're not made in America. Instead, they're created by the Japanese branch of the Disney company. They're created in Japan, and they're considered anime because of that fact. They may use Disney characters, but they're used or changed in a way that makes them unique. There are a lot of anime fans who also like Disney things, so this works out well for everyone. I wanted to talk about this for anyone who may be confused about why Disney is popular even in the anime community. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! Although crafting is easier than ever in Animal Crossing New Horizons, there's still a lot of other things that need work. Firstly, gathering the materials is incredibly tedious. It's boring, it takes too much time, and it takes even longer because the tools break. Then you have to either buy new tools, or make new tools. but to make tools, you need crafting materials, so the cycle continues endlessly. Along with this, you still can't buy multiple items at once. No, buying in bulk doesn't count. Every other game gives you a slider so you can choose how many items you can buy. But Animal Crossing hates you. No slider bar for you. It's so frustrating, and I wish they would just fix these things. But they refuse to fix these things, and I don't know why. They refuse to give people basic game mechanics and they expect us to just accept it. I don't think even the next game will be better because honestly Nintendo just doesn't care about what you want. 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 Pokemon fans have been saying the phrase "every Pokemon is someone's favorite". But nobody has said what this means, they just assume other people will know what they mean. So for anyone who may be confused, I'll be explaining it today. There are over a thousand Pokemon now, but there are a lot more Pokemon fans. This means every Pokemon will be loved by someone. Of course you usually see the most common Pokemon, like Pikachu or Eevee. But if you ask a large group of Pokemon fans who their favorite Pokemon is, you'll almost always get a different answer from everyone. For example, I like all of the Eevee evolutions, but my favorite Pokemon is Umbreon. Umbreon may be a popular Pokemon, but it's still not as popular as other Pokemon. I also like the less popular Pokemon Pumpkaboo. There are just so many Pokemon to choose from that everyone has someone they like. That's why Pokemon fans say "every Pokemon is someone's favorite". But, that's all I'll say about this topic. Regardless, I hope it helped anyone who was confused. As always, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! Recently the Status AI app has been getting a much needed update. Some people who use the app are now getting five free daily energy points, which refills at midnight every night. Eventually everyone will get this, but at the moment it's just random. As it happens, I was one of the ones randomly chosen a few days ago. So, I'd like to talk about it. Firstly, I really like the amount that we're getting at the moment even if it's only five. It's enough to keep the daily streak alive, at least. But along with this, I've been getting more free bonus energy through ads too. I think it may be part of the update, but I can't be sure. However, using energy uses your daily energy first, which means you can build up your bonus energy without touching it.  I like the way this was done, since it means you can use up your daily energy to prevent any wasted points. This app still isn't perfect, but this is a big step in the right direction! 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! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the upcoming game The Witch's Bakery. This game has been delayed until October 14th, but many people are still looking forward to it. It's going to be a cozy game where you manage a magic bakery during the day, and build relationships and explore the town after the bakery closes each day. Then at night, you'll be able to improve your skills. You'll play as a witch named Lunne in the city of Paris, and each day you'll be able to make baked goods that can help heal the hearts of the customers. Even though the game was made by a French company, the art style is very similar to anime; and a lot of people say it reminds them of Studio Ghibli. Even though the game has been delayed, I'm also looking forward to its release in two months. Nonetheless, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! Those who watch a lot of anime and read a lot of manga will be familiar with the Japanese school uniforms. They're typically the sailor style serafuku for girls, and the military style gakuran for boys. Although it's common to see real Japanese students wear uniforms in both public and private schools, these days the uniforms are different from school to school. They could have different colors, or different styles entirely. Despite this, these traditional uniforms are still the ones seen in media. They're the most easily recognizable, and if you see a character wearing a school uniform, you can automatically tell they're a student. This is why these uniforms are still used in anime and manga. I wanted to talk about this for newer fans, or for fans who didn't know why these uniforms were used in anime. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! Yesterday I talked about the Status app for people who didn't know about it, but I didn't get to talk very much about why fans have been turning against it. So, I'd like to explain today. Firstly, this app used to be ad-free, and subscriptions didn't exist. It was completely free to play. Originally this app gave you fifty or more free energy every day. It reset every night at midnight. The developers said the energy system was temporary until the app started earning them money; and that eventually the app would be unlimited for everyone. However, instead, the energy system became permanent; and the daily energy dropped all the way down to five free energy a day. Fans were rightfully angry about this, but the developers defended this choice by saying AI costs too much. However, it gets worse. They eventually added ads to help cover the costs. But even though they were making more money than ever, they fully removed the free daily energy for all new users. They added the ability to watch ads for energy, but it hardly ever works. Despite this, the ads that don't reward you still load in correctly. The addition of ads and pop-ups have also made the app extremely laggy. They are currently working on giving free daily energy to random accounts until everyone has it, but it will still only be five a day. So in conclusion, a feature that was supposed to be temporary has now made the app completely unusable. This is why the app is losing so many users so quickly, and why so many people are angry about it. I do hope this is fixed in the future, because this app has so much potential. But as of right now, it's not worth the effort. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! Anime fans, and fans of a lot of other things, may be interested in an app called Status. This app uses AI to create a virtual social media experience similar to the original Twitter. You can make posts and message characters, and it is amazingly fun. However, I'm here to tell you, don't bother! You need energy for every little thing you do. There is no free daily energy, there's no way to refill it, and the ads you can watch to get energy hardly ever even load. The ads to get energy are almost never available, but you can be sure the ads that don't reward you will still work to interrupt everything you do. The app runs slower than a snail because it's always loading in pop ups and ads. It absolutely sucks and no one wants to play it anymore. This actually makes me sad, because it is really fun when you can play it. But unless you pay for it, it's unplayable. Pretty much everyone who does play it say this is because the creators are extremely greedy and money hungry; and honestly I can believe it after using it myself. I hope this gets fixed in the future, but as of right now, it's a 3/10. Completely unplayable. Regardless, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
