New day, new post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about Cozy Grove again. I've been playing this game for a few days now, so I'd like to give my opinions on what Cozy Grove does better than Animal Crossing, and some things that are worse. Although people compare these games a lot, they aren't identical. Personally I think the fishing in Cozy Grove is a lot better and easier than it is in Animal Crossing. It's also easier to place objects, find the characters, and craft. There's also quite a few fun features in Cozy Grove, like the daily quests. However, there are some downsides. Sometimes the quests are tedious, or take a few days to complete. There's also an insane amount of quartz gemstones that just take up an inventory space because you can't sell them. I'm sure they'll be needed later, but currently they're in the way. It's a bit more difficult to earn money, which means it's more difficult to complete some of the quests. On the other hand, you can give characters story items even if they aren't in your main inventory. As long as they're in your storage, they're always available. This makes it a lot easier to keep your inventory open. But, that's all I have to say for today. As always, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

The official Twisted Wonderland art book is now available in English! This art book contains a lot of official art from the game, as well as some art that isn't in the game. American fans of the game will be glad to know it's finally available, since a lot of people have been waiting for it. You can find it on Viz's website, where it will tell you the price, where you can find it, and view a small free preview of the book. This art book has been out for a while, but the English translations always take a bit to officially release. There isn't much to say about this, but I wanted to talk about it because I was pretty excited to see an English version of the art book. As always, here's the link for the official Viz page. Enjoy!

3, 2, 1, post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about Cozy Grove. I talked about this game yesterday, but I wanted to talk about it again because a lot of people compare it to Animal Crossing; so I wanted to give my opinion on that. I've played Cozy Grove for a couple days now, and I can see the similarities. However, it's pretty much entirely different. Of course you can craft, donate, upgrade your tent to a house, and fish. But the crafting system and resource collecting is a lot different, and the donation system isn't for a museum, but an archive that will reward you for every item unlocked. The house is pretty similar, but the decorating is different as well. The fishing is also way easier in Cozy Grove. You pretty much only have to aim and then reel it in, and it's so easy to catch a fish because they'll swim to your lure even if they're pretty far away. There are also a lot of daily quests in Cozy Grove that have to be completed to further the story. The characters and atmosphere is also pretty different for Cozy Grove. The people on the island are almost all ghost bears, and this is a game based on helping spirits. Despite this, it isn't scary or unsettling at all. Although I can see a few similarities between this game and Animal Crossing, I don't think there are nearly enough to write it off as just a copycat or clone. In fact, there are barely any similarities that I've found so far, and I think it was more likely the developers just liked Animal Crossing and wanted to add a few of the mechanics to their own game. But, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. I recommend checking out Cozy Grove because it really is a very cute game. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!

What time is it? Post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the game Cozy Grove. Cozy Grove is a cute little life simulation camping game, and it was released in 2021. It's similar to Animal Crossing, while still having its own unique charms. In this game, your little spirit scout has to camp on an island alone while helping the wandering spirits find peace. It's a daily game that you have to come back to in real time, but you can do other things once you've finished your daily tasks; or before you've finished them if that's what you prefer. It isn't an anime game, but the main character does look very cute and chibi. I wanted to talk about this game because a lot of people compare it to Animal Crossing. However, I think it has a lot of its own unique features. I personally recommend this game, since it's very cute and laid-back. It's currently available as a free trial on the Nintendo Switch, but it also doesn't cost very much as it is. As always, here's a picture of the game. Enjoy! 

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the problem with new Pokemon. Now, I'm not going to be talking about how classic Pokemon are better or anything like that; especially since some of my favorite Pokemon are from the newer generations. Instead, I'll be talking about the issue with new Pokemon being made. Every generation has a lot of new Pokemon. This keeps the series fresh, and helps fans look forward to the new Pokemon they know will be released. However, recently there have been things like regional variants and other new twists on old Pokemon. But why is this? It's partially because it's very difficult to design new Pokemon. New Pokemon can't look too similar to any fan-made designs. This is to avoid accusations of plagiarism, and also to avoid potential lawsuits. But with so many fan designs, it's getting more and more difficult to create brand new fully unique Pokemon. Because of this, sometimes it's easier to just introduce new ways to update some of the original Pokemon. It can be through new evolutions, regional variants, or new in-game mechanics. This may be a bit disappointing to some fans, but it's one of the safest ways to create new Pokemon. Regardless, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. I wanted to talk about this because some fans have been questioning the thought process between new Pokemon and remade old Pokemon for a while, and I think this is most likely the answer. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's winter! That means there's new content in Animal Crossing New Horizons. The weather is getting colder, the villagers are putting on their coats and hats, and snow is falling on the island. If this is your first year playing Animal Crossing New Horizons, then you probably won't have any winter clothes. This is because a lot of the winter gear is only sold at the Able Sisters Shop in winter. Nook's Cranny is also selling a different toy everyday to help celebrate the upcoming Toy Day. Toy Day is similar to Christmas, so it won't be for a little while yet. New winter DIY recipes will also be coming soon. As of right now, there won't be very much new things for winter; aside from the clothes and toys. But later this month more things will be available. That's all I have for now! Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about a common problem with English dubbed anime. Although English dubbed anime has become more popular and accepted in recent years, it's still not quite as easy to find as English subbed anime. This is because a lot of fans prefer English subbed over dubbed. However, this causes a problem for English dub fans. Often times the English dub versions of shows are much harder to find than the subbed versions. Along with this, some streaming services will only have the subbed version instead of both. Less popular anime series are even harder to find, which makes finding the dubbed anime almost impossible. This has always been a problem, and I'm glad some streaming services are working to fix it. But it's still a problem nonetheless. I just think it's a bit frustrating, especially since sometimes an English dub will just be fully cancelled and unfinished if it doesn't do well enough. It's really difficult for me to watch the show and read the subtitles at the same time, so it's kind of upsetting that English dubs are still looked down on and ignored as opposed to the subbed versions. But, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
