Happy Holidays! Update 12/25

Dear Readers,

Happy Holidays! Whether you recognize/celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, the non-denominational Lemon Season, or you don't have a particular holiday to celebrate, I hope you have a safe, healthy, happy, and refreshing winter.

Personally, I really enjoy the celebration of a new year. New Year's Day in my family is celebrated with a type of Japanese noodle called soba noodles, as well as other symbolic traditional Japanese foods. It's a meal that's put together for the purpose of increasing the chance of your health and prosperity in the new year.

The Pokemon League that I mentioned I wanted to start, maybe a month ago, has started and is getting into the second round of matches. If you want to see what its all about, join the discord here: https://discord.gg/K5BgSGj

I'm still working on a post about how the characters of Naruto and Kingdom Hearts are similar and that the ideas they stand for are the same.

If there are any Doctor Who fans out there, tell me what you think of the change from a Christmas Special episode to a New Year's Special episode. Personally I think it's kind of a surface level change, and that political correctness does not justify a drop in quality of the series as a whole. Yes, with this new Doctor, I think that the quality of the show has dropped. Controversial. Oh, and when I say political correctness, I am assuming that the producers are changing it from a Christmas Special to a New Year's Special because not everyone celebrates Christmas.

There haven't been any new Run With the Wind episodes, but Shonen Jump has been freaking killing it with their new chapters. One Piece in Wano, Dr. Stone with the Hot Air Balloon, BNHA with All for One invading Deku, Haikyu with Bokuto finally becoming Fukurodani's ace, Food Wars was kinda weak comparatively, with Soma pulling his gimmicky food antics yet again.

I've started watching Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai, but only off and on. I've already gone through a phase of watching shows like these, such as Sakurada Reset and Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, so I'm not as hype about it as other people may be. I understand how good it is, but I'm way more excited about Run With the Wind than Bunny Girl Senpai/Mai Sakurajima.

I wish that more people realized how much manga like Nekomata and Natsume Yuujinchou can calmly satisfy us with a good story or cute characters. We don't need over the top mainstream stuff like Hitman, Seven Deadly Sins, or another product of the Fate Series.

Kingdom Hearts 3 is coming out next month people.

Update 7/31

Hello folks, Hahahahaha. I've been working in service for a little bit so that's a go-to phrase for me now.  Couple things I want to say in this update. 1. It's Lorie Meza's birthday! Hope you had a great day and hope you have a good party on Sunday! 2. I've got a couple posts in the works. I know it's really bad to keep lying to your audience about new posts coming out. I have some excuses though. 3. I've been keeping this from my blog because I wasn't sure I wanted to share it on the internet, but I have depression and ADHD and these two things combine to keep me from staying committed to my blog. Sometimes I feel inspired to make content and then I can't finish it. I do care about this blog though, and that's why I write these updates. For some reason, writing to the audience without having to make content feels much easier. So yeah, that's pretty much what's up with the blog. If anyone's interested in what games I've

A Greater Understanding of Shonen Jump

I have produced many opinions about manga and anime. That's kind of the point of this blog. And now I am realizing that I have been missing a key point about manga that was kind of necessary so that my opinions were a little more informed than just a criticism of big name manga. That key point is the factor of Shounen Jump manga having the "it" quality. Some very inexperienced readers might call it perfection. It's definitely not perfection, but manga of Shounen Jump that can last for multiple arcs have qualities that are significantly different and significantly better than that of other shounen manga. I will defend my viewpoints on certain things so that I don't out myself as a total hypocrite. First, webtoons, or specifically manhwa webtoons, or specifically God of Highschool is a very unique manga and is further justified by the fact that it is getting an anime. Second, despite not being in Shounen Jump, there are other shounen series that are different an
