honestly famitsu's 40th anniversary (including its own mascot) deserved better

 Looks like I'm doing another one of these, aren't I?

While I already know that we have the rest of the year to celebrate this certain 40th anniversary (despite I'm just basically here for Famitsu's mascot for like the majority here) and we recently got a few recent nice covers for the 40th anniversary issue (No. 1950) of Necky and the one guy that appeared on the first ever Famitsu issue when it was called: "Famicom Tsushin" back in the 80's and Necky coming back again to celebrate another 40th anniversary for a game franchise in which that is called: "Dragon Quest" that's gonna come out soon for the next issue on the 25th for this month (as I'm writing this out). And perhaps Necky would appear on many other future covers just like on how he did back in his "golden era" of Famitsu covers on how he appear on A LOT of them back in the late 80's, 90's, 2000's or early 2010's, but I pretty much doubt that these days.

As for what they did so far (aside from the magazine covers), all they did is bring back the Gavas (AKA Famitsu tickets) and made cookies that have the 40th anniversary logo and also including the "tsu" part of the Famitsu logo in red, orange and green colors. And what do I think about those? Well, since I can't get those cookies as I don't buy Famitsu magazines as much that I don't wanna waste my money on, I did look at Twitter posts to see on what the Gavas and cookies looked like... As to what I think about them, I would rather prefer on having the Gavas only without the cookies in my humble opinion. And if you can't look up in Japanese for yourself, have some Twitter links!

At least you got a good look on what the cookies looked like! As for the positives that I wanna say first, the packaging looks great (aside from the Gavas also looking good)! But it would be nice if I also said the same thing about the cookies themselves. Yeah, as for the cookies though, haven't you noticed that the cookies looked blurry? While the "tsu" parts look okay, it's the the whole 40th anniversary logo being slapped onto a cookie that bothers me on how low-tier quality it is. They easily would've fixed this with Necky's face getting the close-up if you ever wanted to eat him as a cookie, but nope! Especially with that kind of printing job that you can barely see the entire 40th anniversary logo with good eyesight, man... Whoever Famitsu hired to make these cookies just weren't the best with their very own printing quality onto highly detailed stuff like with that anniversary logo in mind. Even M&M's and Oreo do a way better job than this! Oh yeah, especially M&M's surprises me on how you can add a photo close-up of yourself and see all that amount of detail being added onto a small piece of candy!

If Famitsu ever deicides to do something like this for a future anniversary again (something like the 45th or 50th anniversary), at least get the printing on the cookies right!

honestly miriya (from m&m) deserved better

 And she honestly had protentional to become a great character at some point! Even I didn't read the manga much since I only saw like the beginning of it that as a Aristocats fan, just feels off. Especially that the fact that Marie can suddenly talk to humans now! Anyway, as for Miriya, her characterization tried to be decent on how she's sick of her spoiled life while also missing her parents. But it just could've been better if Miriya had a better adventure that didn't involve on becoming a cutesy magical witch while also being stuck in 1910's Paris! And not only just that, we even get rivals like Leon and... "Blackey". As for these two, they're a human boy and talking black cat that aren't far off from Miriya and Marie when it comes to the whole magical training thing going on. Plus, Leon teases Miriya at times that I just wasn't into like it was supposed to be like this "ship tease"? And Marie and ugh, "Blackey" don't get along at times. Perhaps that makes up for Toulouse and Berlioz being absent...? Speaking of Marie's two bother's that I've mentioned, we honestly don't know what happened to them!

Yeah, and those two aren't the only ones missing out in this manga... There's no more swinging alley cats that play jazz or talking geese like you'll see in the movie (aside from talking mice or horses, I guess). And from what I've heard of (if this is true), there's even no Thomas O'Malley! Especially when Marie was showing Duchess to Miriya that probably they didn't care to mention him anymore (alongside with Duchess getting much more of a lesser role on top of it).

Aside from the problems, the art style is nice. But even drawings themselves can't save a badly written/mediocre story! And I'll possibly talk more about this manga someday whenever I read the manga better to get pass that beginning (but I'm actually not buying it since I'm not wasting my money just in case as I already bought a comic this year... A Chuck E. Cheese one at that).

Anti-Bro Filmreel Bumper Meme

 Got inspired by a meme that I saw on DA and made my own while talking about another topic in this very case. And while I don't like talking about 9/11as I REALLY don't like that day at all for some reason, making "funny jokes" about it is just rubbing salt into the wound!

Aside from that, these "bro jokes/memes" are just full-on noise that just simply "exists" these days... And it could be similar to 6/7's case (or those pun jokes that don't sound that good). Even I already complained about this "bro garbage" enough at this point that I don't wanna sound like a broken record for this blog of mine.

P.S. It also would've been nice to see more anti-bro memes sometime soon and the image of that "Not Funny, DIDN'T LAUGH" film reel bumper edit I used is from YouTube that wasn't created by me. And a quick Google search can bring ya to it.

My Crossover Trio Meme 💟🖤✨

 Well, if the whole Gaarmageddon unit can't exist on my Tomodachi Life islands, there's gonna be this trio that I'm going to plan out. Yep, while including Mikan in the middle/center! As for the other two characters, there's Glenda on the left side from an anime that I didn't watch in such a long time (that I'm planning to watch it someday despite I wanna watch the series on physical media for some reason despite the anime already being on YouTube at some point... especially with the English dub that I used to watch as a little kid) and there's Crystal on the right as she honestly looks a little off while doing that age-o-matic transformation due to her mouth being different as the fangs are gone while the mouth is also closed with no lipstick and her one hair piece is even missing.

Just thought that it would be cool to do my own trio if they got together like your typical idol unit (that's also similar to the one PriPara unit that I already mentioned up above).

Kurosu Aroma's Birthday Event in ILPP!

 Well, I think I got mostly everyone in this case?

And it's been like a little while since I've did any events, hasn't it?

appreciation post for: rowdy cat

 Yeah, I feel like I might make more fan-content based around this decent gem from Netflix as time goes on. Also love his unibrow btw. Even I feel like he's one of those modern original characters that does feature a unibrow in these recent times (who also isn't based on a real person with a unibrow).

random headcanon time: rowdy cat from netflix's cat burglar edition

 I recently got reminded by this Netflix series again... Haven't played it before as we don't got Netflix ever since like over a decade by now (and unfortunately, it had a pretty short life span on the platform... Yeah, that's another reason I don't like streaming at times. Not only they take certain shows down from other companies due to licensing contracts, but they even take the unique ones down that were originally made for the platform like the interactive stuff made for Netflix).

And as to why I mentioned if he was ever a human being is because I'm having some thoughts if he was ever human on my second Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream island. Yes, you heard me right, not only I'm gonna have one island, but two islands! And to bypass that is pretty easy if you already have another Nintendo account. At least on that part, I can add him in the future whenever I can't add him to my main island. Even I also feel like Cat Burglar is becoming obscure since not many people talk about it these days alongside on Netflix pulling the plug.

Not to mention he is one of those "jerk characters" that I like alongside with Bender (Futurama), Ren (OG Ren & Stimpy only so far), Charlie (All Dogs go to Heaven), Paulie (from of course, Paulie), Kuromi (as she was originally like that in the Onegai My Melody anime, but really has tone-downed that kind of attitude in modern stuff like Supercute Adventures), Kuzco (The Emperor's New Groove), and Garfield the Cat from what I can recall. And I'm thinking about adding the PTT version of Chuck E. in there, but I'm not sure yet since I was heavily into the "Avenger" era back in 2024 and 2025 that I'm also about to start get into the "Coach" era (alongside with Tux) as I'm writing this out.
