Hey there, all you Top Percentage Pidgeys

Hi there, this is Griffin Yamada signing in.

Welcome to my blog about mostly: manga, anime, Nintendo, and Square Enix. I know self-deprecation doesn't have that much comedic value anymore, but I'm not that interesting. The way I'll be presenting my topics will likely be boring, even though I said I won't be sane enough to have an understandable argument. I mean look at this welcome post, my original idea was to be totally sarcastic, be a jerk, ask future readers to call me out on my bullshit, and end with calling all of you top percentage Pidgeys (if you haven't played Pokemon, it's an insult).

I apologize, because I want to demonstrate how much I value my readers. From now on, I'll just write the truth. If I think that genwunners are scum, I'll write it, and if I think that Bleach is a cesspool of unoriginality and the worst part about battle manga/anime, I'll write it.

Listen to me readers, you are top percentage Pidgey. Jokes aside, when I play a Pokemon game, I'm not looking to beat it in the exact same way every time. One playthrough, I might want a Pidgey with a boosted speed stat, in the next, I might want a boosted attack stat. Even though this blog is limited to mostly animation, gaming, and entertainment, I want to try to cover everything my readers want to see covered. While blogs are used as expression for the writer, I also just want to gather people who I can discuss current topics with.

If you could help me build a community where discussions are created, I wouldn't know how to present a reward, but it would just make me very grateful. Since this is also my first blog, I can only say I think you can subscribe via email address right now, and/or type your comments to this post down below. Thank you very much for your support. Smell ya later.

Audience Input Please

 Good afternoon, I’m coming to you at 3:18 pm in California. I haven’t posted in a while, and I thought maybe I should. I don’t have anything to talk about or discuss or more specifically, I feel as though I’ve lost sight of what I think my audience should hear. And so taking a cue from a certain discord I joined recently, I would like anyone reading this blog still to respond to the following questions in the comment section. This would greatly motivate me and point me in a direction for where to move this thing that isn’t really alive nor dead. Thanks and here are the questions: 1. What are the Top Two American Television Shows? 2. What are Two Anime You’ve Always Wanted to Watch but Haven’t Yet? 3. What are The Top 5 Anime in Your Opinion of all Time? (objective or subjective) 4. What are Your Top Three Favorite Video Games? 5. What are Your Top Three Favorite Animated Movies? 6. Should I write more often or should I write longer?

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...
