Kotaro Lives Alone

This anime doesn't have magic. It doesn't have adventure. Hell it doesn't even have a hero. But you know what? It doesn't need to. What this anime does have is heart.This anime is a very special anime. It had me close to tears in every episode. it tugged on my heart and made it feel very heavy every time I watched. I can go on and on.

Kotaro Lives Alone is about a very little boy named Kotaro who moves into an apartment complex all bye himself. Doing so causes his neighbors to wonder who are his parents and why is he alone. As time goes on his neighbors becomes his friends. They help him with many things even though Kotaro Prefers to be independent. Every now and then the same question pops up: Who and where are his parents. A question that is always dodged by Kotaro.

The reason why this anime made me feel how I felt is because of his innocence, mature personality and the small peaces of info you learn about his past. He may be independent but it doesn't mean that he doesn't have a lot to learn. For example; Kotaro gets sick during school but refuses to be sent home. He says that's a sign of weakness. A classmate then tells him that its ok to be weak because then there is room to be strong and grow. 

I watched the English dub of Kotaro Lives Alone on netflix. That is the one i would recommend you watch.Why? The English voice actor for Kotaro (Cherami Leigh) is perfect for this role. I cant imagine Kotaro sounding any different. it just works so well. So if you have Netflix then you should definitely watch this anime. so far there is only one season consisting of ten episodes.

So as always its on to the next...

I'm Mrboldlyblue And I Love Farming Games(Re-written)

 I have a problem...an addiction...As the title of this post says: I'm Mrboldlyblue and I love Farming games.

When it comes to deciding what game I should play next its a no brainer. My choice of game will most likely be a farming, crafting, or alchemy game. You may be thinking whats so special about farming, crafting, and alchemy games. I'll tell you. What draws me to these games is the ability to create something out of nothing. Grow crops to sell and make money. Or combine them to make a tasty meal. Chop down trees to gather wood to make furniture or repair a broken building. I find doing these activities really fun. This casual gameplay is a relaxing break from other types of games.

Don't get me wrong though. I also love action, adventure, and puzzle games too. It's just that farming games will always have a special place in my heart. I would list all of the farming games I own but the list is too long and I don't want to embarrass myself anymore then I already have.

There are two new farming games coming out soon that I plan on getting. The first one is Monster Harvest. This game is very unique. You see you grow crops like any other farming game, but the twist is that you have the ability to mutate them into monsters that you can take into turn-based battles. Monster Harvest also has a story which not many farming games have. Discover the secrets and take down Slime Co. Seems like they are abusing the power of the slimes. This game should come out August 31st but the release date has been pushed back 3 times already so who knows.

The second game is called Kitaria Fables. This game is similar to Rune Factory. You farm crops to make money but you can also use them to make healing items. You can also make weapons and armor that will help in real time battles. In this game you play as a warrior who has to protect a town who no longer has warriors to fight for them as an ancient evil comes crawling back. This game will come out September 2nd. Both of these games will be released on all consoles. I can't wait to play them.

So as always it's on to the next...

My Thoughts About Pokemon Journeys

 Pokemon Journeys is the latest Pokemon anime to give exclusively on Netflix. I haven't watched Pokemon in a long time to be honest. So when I saw that Netflix had a Pokemon show that wasn't so long like past seasons I decided to give it a chance. And I'm glad I did.

Pokemon Journeys is very different from past seasons. Ash is no longer traveling around to collect badges. Instead he is participating in the World Coronation Ceremony. Basically he is challenging trainers to Pokemon battles to increase his rank in order to challenge the worlds strongest Trainer. Personally I love the change up. Its cool that Ash is doing something different for once. 

Ash's new friend for this season is a guy names Go. His goal is to catch every kind of Pokemon. Let me just say this. He is one lucky dude. Through out the show almost every Pokemon Go catches is done without a Pokemon battle. I guess the rules of weakening a Pokemon before capturing it doesn't apply to him.

A new region means a new way of battling. It's called Gigantamax. Your Pokemon will temporarily turn huge and fight with super strong attacks. Some Pokemon may even change form.

So i'm really enjoying this season of Pokemon. Give this a chance and I guarantee you will love it too. And as always its on to the next...

Slime Rancher (Slimy Yet Satisfying)

So back in october I downloaded the game Slime Rancher for the PS4 and I dont regret it at all. Its such a unique game. Its kinda like a farming game and a monster collecting game had a baby. The story goes that you are a girl who is sick of her everyday life and moves far away to get away from it all and starts a ranch to survive. Thats all the story they give you. But your gonna have fun so the story isnt that important.

GAMEPLAY: In this game there are creatures that roam the land. These creatures are slime. there are many different slime. Your job as a Slime Rancher is to collect slime using your Vac-Gun. Once you do that you need to feed them. Feed them their favorite food and they poop or produce plort. To make money you exchange plort for cash. Lastly, use your cash to upgrade your ranch and unlock more areas. You can even fuse different slimes together to produce more plort.

GRAPHICS and DIFFICULTY: The graphics in this game are great. 3D and cartoony similar to the graphics of the legend of zelda wind waker. This game is really easy and chill to play. Except for when you accidently make a tarr. Tarr are creatures you dont want in your ranch. They eat slime and can multiply quickly. When you start a new game it will ask you if you want the ability to create tarr. Personally I said yes to have that extra challenge.

This is a really cool game. I would recommend this game hands down. Well its on to the next...

What I'm Playin: Mobile Games Part 2: Pokemon Quest

Hey welcome to part 2 of my What I'm Playin Mobile Games Blog. Today I will be reviewing the mobile game Pokemon Quest.

Pokemon Quest is a game where you set your pokemon out into the wild to battle wave after wave of pokemon in real time. Then with the berries that enemy pokemon drop you cook food that will attract pokemon to your base. Once that is done all you need to do is tap on the wild pokemon and there you have it. You have successfully recruited pokemon to your team.

The gameplay is simple. When your pokemon are out there battling they move on their own but you get to decide when they attack and what move they use. Although i would have liked to be in control of the pokemon's movement its not a deal breaker.

The graphics are interesting. Both the pokemon and the environments have a minecraft look to it.

Pokemon Quest is a mobile game worth checking out. its a fun unique pokemon game that is free to play.Thats right. You can play through the entire game without the need of purchasing anything.

Stay tuned to part 3 of What I'm Playin to check out what im playin.
