Happy Holidays and Future Diary

Guys, I am so sorry I haven’t been writing lately. I have been kept busy with family and friends and school, but I will try to write more since I am now on winter break!

Happy Holidays, as well! I hope you all have an amazing few days with your families.

I started watching Future Diary two days ago, about, and I’m on episode 20. I thought I would finish last night, but sadly, I didn’t. That’s okay, I will try to finish it as soon as I can.

Anyways, it’s actually really good and was recommended to me by my friend Riley. I really really like it now!


So, let me try to explain this . . .

Above are all of the diary owners. They have diaries that can tell them the future, whether they are books or on their phones or what. They tell them what will happen to them, around them, or to others depending on what they had been originally writing about before they were granted future diaries.

The only problem with a future diary? If someone breaks your diary or destroys it, you die too.

The main character, I would say, is Yukiteru Amano. That is a picture of him on the left, and on the right of him is Yuno Gasai. I would say she stalks him, but it is way more than that.

They end up working together to kill all of the other diary owners, so that they don’t die themselves. Each diary owner owns a different type of diary; for example, Yukiteru’s diary is called a Random Diary, and it documents everything that is going around him, but not what happens to him. That’s what Yuno’s diary does; it tells her what he does and if he’s okay, but it documents every 10 minutes.

If the other diary owners are killed and only one remains, they are to become the god of time and death and life, because the god now is dying and losing his abilities.

That’s about what goes on in that anime, and it’s an amazing storyline, I have to say. It’s really creative and I can’t wait to see how it ends.

Thank you for reading! Happy Holidays!

Noragami Aragoto

Hey guys! So sorry I haven’t been keeping updated. I’ve been really busy with school; it’s the week before winter break and I’m so ready to be able to relax and write on here and do stuff I can’t do at school.
But today we have a snow day. So here I am!

I haven’t been watching an extreme amount of anime, to be honest. I’m still watching Noragami (not all the episodes have come out in Noragami Aragoto; every Friday they come out and every week I have to patiently wait for one to come out) and I recently started Black Butler, but I’m pretty sure I’ve already discussed it. I’m still only on episode one. And I’m pretty sure that’s all I’ve been watching, other than Free! (I haven’t been watching that recently, trying a couple new ideas for drawing and such).

School is still very stressful, and I’m sorry I haven’t been keeping updated with you guys. I don’t mean to not write on my blog, just sometimes it doesn’t happen.

Okay. So I will probably talk about Noragami Aragoto and the episode that came out last week. If you haven’t seen Noragami I would recommend either watching it all before reading this post or skipping this one. I will try not to spoil if you decide that it doesn’t matter and you want to read this blog post anyways.

So . . . in the last episode . . .

Yato! In the underworld. And Bishamon suddenly shows up and wants to save him.

But so does Yukine. Bishamon tells him to either become a Nora or not go down there at all. And she makes the decision for him; she decides he shouldn’t risk his name as a Regalia.

And I honestly was so relieved she did that. If he became a Nora, I don’t know what I would do.

Anyways, Ebisu wakes up (he had fainted) and, after a little while, tells them that the girl from the Near Shore is the only way to save Yato now.

Can you guess who that is? I’m sure you can. It’s Hiyori.

And it left on a cliffhanger. Right there. I screamed and couldn’t believe they would do that to me! *frowns* Oh well. I will just have to wait until this Friday to see what happens and what ends the season. I think that would be the end of the season, at least . . .

I still need to watch the OVAs. Apparently Yato kisses Bishamon while he’s drunk and Hiyori gets jealous or something. All I can say is when I heard that happened I was freaking out.

I ship Yatori. But, if I’m being honest, I ship Yato and Yukine too . . . is that bad?

Just . . . it sounds so cute! Yato and Yukine, I mean. Is it bad that I obsess over that every so often? Sorry if you don’t ship it. But I do!

Okay. Thanks for listening again! And sorry for not being able to update as much. I’ll try to write next week or this weekend, I promise!

Thank you and Free!

Thank all of you so much for almost 400 views. I know it might not seem important, seeing how many people have seen my blog, but it really is. So thank you so much.


Okay, today I decided to talk about Free! I started it, like, two weeks ago and haven’t come back to it, but I know I’m about 7 or more episodes in. I can’t quite remember.


But it’s definitely a good anime to watch. It’s a good realistic fiction, and it gives me a little more room to think about what is going on with the characters, the plot, everything.


My favorite character, as I’ve said before, is Nagisa. I just love his character. But my second favorite would definitely have to go to Haru. Nagisa is on the right, and Haru is on the left. Like them both a lot!


All the characters seem to be amazing. Rin and Haru both have a backstory I haven’t quite gotten to yet, and Rei has a lot to learn. But he’s getting there, and I’m sure I will learn more about Rin’s need to win later.


Overall, please watch it. I like it a lot, and it’s not an anime that rushes into things. It gives you a little bit more freedom.


Again, thanks for almost 400 views! Love all of my readers.

Toradora and Blonde Squad

Hey everyone! I am so sorry I haven’t been on, time has been getting away from me with homework and school-related stuff.

Also, it’s one of my friend’s birthdays on Sunday! Love you Kaimbry, have an amazing day.

Anyways, back to what I wanted to talk about. So, I finished Toradora last week on Sunday (I know, I know, I’m sorry for not updating) and I loved the anime as a whole.

I have to be honest and say the ending threw me for a loop. I liked it, but I wish they could have ended it the slightest bit better, maybe?

Don’t take that the wrong way. I love Toradora, but then ending was kind of interesting. I would still definitely recommend it to anyone wanting something new to watch.

I also watched the first episode of Black Butler, and to say at the least, I’m kind of scared. They put that guy in the oven! And, just got to say it, but Sebastian sounds really creepy and freaky and Ciel is the slightest bit of a brat. But I really can’t judge, I’m only one episode in, after all.

My friend, Karishma, told me a lot about Black Butler before I had even seen  it. She showed me a picture of Alois and I instantly fell in love.

Apparently, she pointed out, I have a weird blonde haired anime obsession. My favorites include Nagisa from Free (which I will do my next blog on), Juuzou from Tokyo Ghoul (Karishma said his white hair counted), Yukine from Noragami, Alois from Black Butler, and Honey from Ouran Highschool Host Club. They ALL have blonde-ish hair (I like to think of Juuzou’s as an extremely bright blonde, but I know he got it from stress; he must have had black hair like Kaneki, I’ll make a theory of this at some point) and I love them all, they’re my babies.

Right now I am really appreciating Alois, even though I haven’t even met him yet in Black Buter. He’s just so kawaii. Karishma says he’s a real brat, especially with all of his maid incidents . . .

She told me about all of them. And I still love him and value him. She also told me something really depressing about him, but I won’t spoil it.

Alois’ laugh oh my gosh, it’s perfect.

Okay. Okay. Okay. I’m done fangirling, I’ll continue on with what I was talking about. Ciel is pretty adorable too, but Alois has stolen my heart! I love him. Along with the rest of the blonde squad, Nagisa, Juuzou, Honey, and Yukine.

Alright. Thanks for listening, I know this blog post was kind of personal and kind of biased too, so sorry about that. Just let me know if you’ve seen Toradora or Black Butler or can relate to me.

Love you all!

Toradora!

Hey, guys! I’m back today, partly because I want to get back into blogging and partly because I have break, so I have plenty of free time.


Toradora will be the topic of conversation!


So, the main character I would have to say is Ryuuji, but Taiga also becomes part of the main role as time goes on. I have to be honest and say I don’t know much about this anime, I’m on episode 5, but I really like it and I would definitely recommend it to anyone out there.


The main plot--through episodes 1-5, at least--is about Taiga and Ryuuji’s crushes, and them wanting to get their attention. There tends to be a lot of jealousy, especially in episode 5 when Ami comes in . . .


Anyways, Taiga and Ryuuji are definitely friends. I don’t know if Taiga just takes his food and pretends to be friends, but let’s just call them friends. Taiga trusts Ryuuji enough to tell him about her crush, his seems-to-be best friend, Yusaku. Same with Ryuuji, too; he wants to be friends with Taiga’s seemingly best friend, Minori. They try to help each other with the relationships, but so far, everything seems to have backfired.


I seriously love this anime. If you think it sounds really cutesy and not really your style, just watch the first episode. If you don’t like it, that’s okay. But if you found it differently than you had originally thought, like me, that’s really good and I would tell you to keep watching but I haven’t gotten that far either . . .


Ryuuji is always thought of as someone who would beat you up, only because of his looks from his dad. I honestly don’t quite know what his dad did, but for him to look a lot like him and other students to be afraid of him, it must have been something big.


I don’t know Taiga’s backstory, but I know that she is really tough and would beat anyone up who looks at her twice. On the inside, when you know about her crush, though, she just seems to melt like butter. She’s so cute.


In a way, she and him also seem to be true stalkers at heart . . . kind of like me!


Not that I stalk people, or anything.


Okay, thanks for reading and I will definitely keep you guys updated on my Toradora expedition! My crunchyroll for Toradora won’t work, it just keeps popping up with a picture of Taiga munching on a bowl of rice, so I am going to wait it out. In the meantime, I will go watch Free and let you guys know what I think tomorrow!

PS: If you remember me telling you about White Noise, the new story that I have been writing, please watch my friend Gaia’s drawing of it on YouTube. It’s so amazing, and I have to give her praise. If I tried doing this, I would fail miserably.


She took time and drew this beautiful picture of Sage, thank you so much Gaia! Watch it, it isn’t very long and it would mean a lot.

While you’re at it, please subscribe to her channel. She’s a beautiful artist.

Thank you guys so much!

Oh My Gosh! Anime Update

Oh my gosh! I am so sorry for not writing lately, school has been piling up so much and I haven’t had too much free time. But for the next week, I will be on Fall break, so I should be posting every or every other day!

Lately I have been watching more anime, which is great! I have watched both season one and two of Noragami and I’m all caught up.

I have to ask you guys, what’s your favorite character in Noragami, if you’ve seen it? And even if you haven’t, who do you think your favorite character would be, based on the pictures?


If you can’t read it, the names are, left to right:

Yato, Hiyori, Yukine, Daikoku, Kofuku
Bishamon, Kazuma, Tenjin, Mayu, Nora

Who do you think you’re favorite character would be, if you haven’t seen it? And if you have seen it, let me know who your favorite character really is.

My favorite character is Yukine. Like, my favorite favorite favorite character. I wouldn’t change it for anything.

Also, I started watching Toradora! and while I’m not very far I find it really adorable.


Here are the characters! I don’t know all of them yet, but here they are, left to right:

Ryuji, Yusaku, Taiga, Minori and Ami

I find it really adorable, and I honestly have no favorite right now. I’m pretty early on.

Minori sounds more like me, but she’s sporty too, and I am not sporty . . .

Ryuji is kind of observant, not really, but he also seems to overthink things sometimes.

Yusaku just kind of goes through the motions. I haven’t seen him much, I’m on episode four, but he seems nice but that one person that is somewhat ordinary.

Taiga is someone who rushes into stuff and does whatever she wants. She doesn’t tend to take advice and will stand strong; she’s also really independent.

Minori is the one everyone wants to be around. She’s funny, athletic, and is pretty much good at everything and nice to everyone.

I haven’t met Ami yet, so I can’t judge her. I’m sorry if you wanted to know about her, but I’ll keep you guys updated on where I’m at!

If you have anything you want to recommend me anime-wise, I would love suggestions! I will probably be watching Free, too, because I have heard that one is super amazing too. I am waiting for more of Noragami episodes to come out, they come out every Friday, and I am becoming impatient. But I will have to wait . . . *sigh*

Thanks guys!

Oh, and if you HAVE seen either of these animes, I would recommend taking a character quiz! Here are the ones I took:



I’m so happy with the outcomes because for the Noragami quiz I got my FAVORITE character Yukine, and with the Toradora quiz I got Ryuji! ^-^ I’m happy.

Take the quizzes and tell me who you got, your favorite character, or any recommendations please! Thanks again!

Recommendations and Miku and Me

Hello! I am so sorry I have not been writing, my mind has been so frazzled lately.

And I still couldn’t find a super interesting topic, but I will try my best to talk about something off the top of my head.

This week seemed to go very quickly, I don’t know what to do with myself now. I mean, of course I have homework and everything, but that doesn’t mean I am going to do it right away. Today was really crazy, and all I really want to do is go to sleep.

But I am staying up, and for a specific reason? No. Maybe just defiance against my own personal health. Maybe I am giving myself a reason to sleep in late. Who knows?

If you didn’t know, I am still obsessed with Miku Hatsune. She’s really all I listen to anymore. Of course I listen to other stuff around my non-Miku friends, but when I am alone, I play it however much I want! And I put my Miku playlist on a big loop, so it chooses a random song and I listen to it. The only problem with that is the fact that, since I have 40+ songs on my playlist, it rarely plays all the songs. Only the main ones I listen to, and while that is so nice, I like a bigger variety.

And I listened to The Disappearance of Miku Hatsune by Miku Hatsune and her voice goes so quickly . . . props to anyone who has memorized that.

I kind of want a doughnut right now.

Anything specific you want me to go over? I would love to have a good topic for next time! And I got a recommendation from Riley, let me go over that real quick.

Let’s just say my bedroom is really messy. If I tried to give you a tour, you would trip over something at some point.

Something really important that happened in my life was the day I met Riley and Anna with Lauren. That was pretty amazing. We all kind of sat at the same table in 3rd grade and decided that we were going to play and be friends from now on. If I hadn’t met them I don’t know where I would be right now.

An idea I have for a story that I am writing is White Noise, and I might post something about it later . . . it’s overall about a girl and the thoughts in her head. Her thoughts range from suicidal to murderous, and she is chained up in a cell because of what they told her to do. Because they told her to kill.

And when someone takes her away from there, her demons (thoughts) ruin her chance at freedom. But she’s more than she really knows. It is mainly about her trying to fight off the things in her mind, and trying to grasp sanity.

It is interesting right now, I am on Chapter 5 and a total of 17 pages, but I have no idea what to write now. Ideas will come at some point, I hope.

An OC that I have come up recently is Sage, the main character in White Noise. She has really long black hair, going down and possibly past her hips. She is terrified of herself, and doesn’t know exactly what she should do. Sometimes she wants to kill herself, and other times she wants to kill others.

Dark, right?

Her features are semi-soft, but her insides are rock-hard. She doesn’t put down the wall she puts around herself. Her eyes are a deep, gray-blue, and brighten or darken depending on her mood.

Another character in White Noise is Viviannah, and she is part of the “Black Robe Society,” as Sage calls it. She has the blondest hair you’ve ever seen, and shorter than shoulder length. Her bangs are longer than average bang length, and they constantly hang in her eyes. She has dark brown eyes that are almost like a dark chocolate Hershey’s bar.

There you go, my White Noise OCs!

And if you don’t know what OCs are, they are Original Characters. You’re welcome.

Thanks for reading this! And apparently I have been going worldwide lately, thanks for that!

Lindsay (^-^)
