These plushies rock! | Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi Rock Out Plushies Review

Image
I barely have any childhood memories of Puffy AmiYumi, but the only thing I remember was the CN logo after the end credits (it will show up in Japanese then switch to the regular CN logo). I was in high school, and I was watching old Cartoon Network promos. And PAY was in the collection of promos. I was like, “do I remember this show?”. So, I watched the first episode. And immediately loved it. I searched for any merch out there and discovered the Rock Out Ami plush.  I haven’t watched the rest of PAY, but I plan to start over and get a refresher on previous episodes I’ve seen since I haven’t watched it for years after high school. I’ll start watching it after I finish up Code Lyoko. If you don’t know this show, I’ll give you a brief summary: this cartoon series is based on a real Japanese duo called PUFFY. They sang the theme song to Teen Titans & TT GO. I guess the only thing I remember is that they go on crazy adventures with their band manager, Kaz on a tour bus. Despite on...

TOMY does it again! | Pet and Talk Terapagos Review

Image
When I checked TOMY Japan's website to see if there was another talking Pokémon plush similar to the Sprigatito and Fuecoco plushies released last year (which I own), I saw a talking Terapagos based on the anime (which I've never seen when it the series came out but I've seen an image of Liko holding her Terapagos)! I was hoping that they would release Quaxly, but sadly, they never did. Based on the translated description of the website, it acts similar to the two plushies. Basically, if you talk, it will respond, has a special voice command and it has a special feature on the plush (Sprigatito's feature was "petting" it's head (I tried saying it's Japanese name because some sites claim that if you say its name, it will react in a special way but it doesn't) and Fuecoco's was rubbing it's stomach and it had two commands: Hogeta (JP name for Fuecoco) and Hinoko (Ember in Japanese)).  I bought it from an eBay seller as a pre-order instead of ...

Pokémon Scarlet Quick Thoughts. [Spoilers]

Image
Note: This is from my main Tumblr account, except for the spoiler section. Finally beat Pokémon Scarlet today after getting behind due to college and stuff. The story and final battle was amazing! So far, my favorite story in the mainline Pokémon games. Although there are issues such as lagging (which will later get patched out), I still enjoyed this game. The Elite 4 and champion wasn’t even that hard… I was expecting them to heal their Pokémon if their mon was low on health… but nope. But the final final battle which I won’t spoil gave me a challenge… my Gardevoir almost fainted! Now, I gotta hunt down the 4 legendaries in this game. Hopefully, when I get to battle them that my team doesn’t accidentally faint them due to being overleveled (my team is in the 80s). I think you could catch them early in the game, which I didn’t know you could. [SPOILERS] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The final battle w...

Disenchanted was amazing.

Image
  Enchanted is one of my favorite Disney movies of all time. From the 2D animation to the songs, it blew me away. I own the DS game which I beat at night (secretly playing my DS and making sure my parents wouldn't take it away cause there were few save points and I was at the end of the game) and a GBA game, which is a prequel focusing on Giselle in Andalasia.  I remember Giselle used to be a Disney Princess and that she used to be on the Disney Princess website. And I also found out that Giselle used to be at Disney World (I WISH I MET HER BADLY). But they sadly removed that status because according to the Disney Princess wiki, "She was first to be considered to be an official Disney Princess, until Amy Adams said no because Disney has to pay royalties of their likeness of their role of their characters and also use their images only if they have the actresses permissions in order to include live action characters." Kinda sad. I wish she was permanently a Disney Princess...

The Toonmakers Sailor Moon Pilot: So Bad It's Good!

Image
I am a little late to the party here, but I remember hearing about this a while back on a website called Moon Sisters before Ray Mona's videos documenting this. When I saw the screenshots and animation cells, I was like, "Is this real?". It actually is real. The art style looks a lot like Jem and the Holograms (or may remind some of that show). And then, Ray Mona's videos came around. If you aren't familiar with Ray Mona, she is a YouTuber who finds lost media such as a Clueless DS game and spoiler alert: she had found the pilot and intro to Saban Moon (as some fans call it)/Toonmaker's Sailor Moon, on August 20th (6 days before my birthday). Before the intro was finally found, it was filmed poorly on a camera at a convention (I think). But not gonna lie, the theme is actually really catchy even though lyrics get repetitive at times. It has been an earworm in my head since first hearing it when the pilot/intro was finally found. I really wish someone made a c...

Anime Thoughts: Yaiba/Kenyuu Densetsu Yaiba

Image
I forgot to type my thoughts on this anime after I finished it a couple of weeks ago. I might've forgot some parts, but I won't spoil the rest. I'll do my best to remember what happens.  Kenyuu Densetsu Yaiba, or just Yaiba, is a series created by Detective Conan's creator, Gosho Aoyama. And I knew this because as soon as I started watching the series, I was like, that art style looks a bit familiar, mostly the eye design. I found out about this anime through the Game Boy gam I watched someone play. The GB game, however, covers a different arc though and that arc hasn't been animated, but the artwork looks like there is an anime adaption of the arc. The shows opening and ending themes are performed by Kabuki Rocks, who also did an ending song of my favorite anime series of all time: “Dragon Quest: Abel Yuusha Densetsu or Legend of the Hero Abel”. Here's the story from its Wikipedia page: "Yaiba Kurogane is an adventuring boy who knows how to be a samurai an...

REALITY -Avatar Live Streaming- App Review

Image
  What is REALITY? REALITY is a streaming app where you have your own V-Tuber model and you can have other people join your stream. It's really cool app. However, I have been using the app since March and a friend suggested this app to me last year, I think. However, I feel like I am just done with the app. The app has a lot of problems, but I will explain those later. For now, let's get onto my review on this app. I haven't really seen a true review of this app except some videos on YouTube. The Good Side of this App. REALITY, like I said earlier, is a cool app if you want to get into live streaming with a V-Tuber model. It's free on both Apple and Android devices. When you join, you make an account and customize your avatar. My avatar wears a pink outfit with pink bat wings. Some outfits require gatcha to be unlocked. which I will cover later.  When you start a stream, you can open a collab where other people can join. "Random collab" means that anyone can j...
