Series Spotlight

Today's series is another one of my favorites, although it's not extremely well known, it's worth watching.

Senyuu.

Senyuu is a wonderful series filled with action and adventure, as the heroes travel through the land to defeat evil-
Or at least it looks like it.

In actuality, Senyuu is a hilarious series which is spoofing all true adventure series'. 
Oftentimes, strange things will happen that make so little sense that it makes perfect sense if that makes sense.

So, I definitely recommend checking it out if you're into comedy and a variety of strange characters.

Caturday

I like cats.
Now, they're not my favorite animal, but I do like them.
So, for the sake of puns, I'm going to dedicate Saturday's to cats.
Be it actual cats, or characters with cat features if I run out of the real thing, they'll be here.

So, today we have Nyanko Sensei from Natsume Yujin-Cho


Nyanko Sensei is probably my favorite cat ever, despite him not technically being a cat.
Nevertheless, he's fluffy and hilarious, so what's not to love?

Series Spotlight

Time for another series spotlight! 

Today's series is a bit different from the others, as it's neither an anime nor a video game. However, it is one of my favorites! I'm a real nerd for history and mythology, along with knights and medieval times, so, of course I'll be a fan of Arthurian legend!

That being said, today's series is one of my favorites: Merlin.

Merlin, of course, revolves around the story of the wizard Merlin and the great King Arthur. Most stories involving King Arthur usually focuses on King Arthur, his wife Guinevere, and the knight Lancelot. Merlin, however, turns the focus to the friendship of Merlin and the king when they're both quite young.
Despite it not following the original legends completely (as my friend likes to point out quite often) it's still a wonderful show and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good fantasy series.

So, that's it for today!

Sweet Siblings

Do you have any sibling characters that you simply adore? Just two siblings that are so wonderful that you can't help but love them?
Well, you're not alone! Each Friday, I'll put some of my favorite siblings into the spotlight.

So, we'll start with Germany/Ludwig and Prussia/Gilbert from Hetalia

The two brothers are similar yet completely different all at once. Nevertheless, they're brothers until the end and enjoy sharing a beer.
Many historical things go into their relationship to make it a bit sad, but in the end, they're just goofy personifications of countries.

While this was a highly mediocre post, I'll attempt to make next week's less rushed.

Series Spotlight

Today's series is one of my favorite games, Story Of Seasons.

Story of Seasons is the new namesake for the popular farming life simulator series Harvest Moon. Due to a new developer taking over, the name was changed.
Nevertheless, the game stays relatively the same, just with new features added. 



The goal is, like in many of the other games, to help your town thrive. There are many plants to grow and animals to raise, giving you plenty of things to do. Plus, you can even swim! 
Not only that, you can now have your very own shop to sell things from your farm.

Along with all those cool farming features, you also have a nice variety of bachelors and bachelorettes with whom you can start a family! (just so long as you romance them first)

From the sweet and charming Raeger, to the beautiful and kind Iris, there are plenty of different people to choose from.
Unfortunately, you can't marry someone of the same gender; but, you can give a character of any gender the same clothes and facial features so if you'd like to marry a girl character, but have your character look like a girl, then you can!

It's a very fun game, so long as you're not into games with a lot of action. It's more for those who are looking for a game that's relaxing and calm. Plus, there's some pretty cute romance for anyone who appreciates a nice little love story.

Rowdy Rivals

In any series, you're bound to have a couple characters that just don't get along.
Oftentimes, these characters really care about each other deep down, but are either too similar or too different and end up clashing. 
This series will highlight such rivalries and we'll have different characters every Thursday.

So, today's lovely pair will be Doug and Dylas from Rune Factory Four!


Throughout the game, these two constantly get on each other's nerves. They bicker quite often, but deep down, they secretly care about one another as proven in many different scenarios.


They're both just a couple of sweethearts with bad tempers. 

So that's it for this week's rivals!

Series Spotlight

What's that? You're looking for a new series to check out? Well, look no further. I'm going to be recommending a new series to check out every day! Be it an anime, video game, television series, or anything else!

Starting off, we have an anime. I've been a fan of this anime before it was even an anime! The manga is beautiful and when I saw it was getting made into an anime, I was very excited.

So, without further adieu, I present to you: The Morose Mononokean.


The series revolves around high school students Hanae Ashiya and Haruitsuki Abeno. I don't want to reveal too much of the plot, so let's just say that Ashiya becomes indebted to Abeno and must then work for him to pay off his debt. 
It's a really beautiful series and quite funny, so I definitely recommend it if you're a fan of supernatural anime.
