PokemonGO hits NYC My-Sweet-Home!

PokemonGO is the summer's new emerging fad among kids and older kids/twenty-somethings. They're all walking around town trying to catch the Pikachu of their dreams. If it were that simple, we would have had something like PokemonGO for everything we do, right? Like food and google maps!

Leaving all of that aside, and how you met your teacher on the bus. There's much more about PokemonGO that fans and otaku think are pretty cool. With the game, the app installed on your smart phone, you can go anywhere your phone goes and catch some of your favorite pokemon 150 or 350. Places have been geo-cached for the app and their stats such as climate, people traffic, leisure electronics, accounts of the players are all merged for the game's interface. That means that if your phone is good enough you can interact with all of those things in the Pokemon Universe. However, be careful because if you're walking the excitement can add to the stress of traveling down the street, whatever that is for you.

The game has Pokemon battle functions there also so some willing trainers may want to fight. If you both agree to a duel, you match your Pokemon with theirs to grow their stats, if you win. The battles can happen anywhere the two players are so they're added to the game's interface capability. Even if you don't battle just playing adds to the PokemonGO system.

It kind of makes us wonder, will Pokemon come out with a DS game with better and more things to do. It would already have been geocached to myriads of millions of places and tech. So play as much PokemonGO as you want and you'll become a Pokemon master before Christmas!

2016 Year of the Monkey!

~ 2016 Year of the Monkey ~

What's next for the year 2016? Punxsutawney Phil has already enjoyed a peaceful morning outside, unlike every other year where he has immediately went back into his hole for Goundhog Day. That's supposed to be a message that Spring is very near!

For the Chinese New Year, 2016 is the Year of the Monkey.

The Chinese animal zodiac represents the flow of time by using animal symbols. Each year is dedicated to a certain animal that symbolizes important natural esoteric qualities easily found in the world. Its kind of like how multi-colored Christmas lights represent the diversity of joyful colors in the world of persons. That's probably why so many people from all walks of life take some time out of their schedules to think about the significance of the Chinese New Year.

The Monkey in the Chinese zodiac embodies playful yet clever expeditions which can lead to some interesting series of events. This zodiac creature is also associated with joking and humor, more so than any of the other zodiac creatures from the other years. In other words, monkey years are more happy but a happiness which differs from the happy-go-lucky rabbit in that there is less forethought and seriousness in the consequence of the zodiac monkey.

A good year to progress in happy, humorous friendships and build lighthearted memories with both new and old acquantances. A good year for social contacts and the social sphere, since the monkey is one of the most social creatures of the Chinese zodiac. Brings positive aspects in communities and groups of family or friendships. Don't be afraid to go out of your comfort zone this year when it comes to meeting or developing relationships with all kinds of people. Don't fear failure in happiness or social endeavors, as the monkey year is kinder in the social sphere than the more ominous zodiac qualities for it in other zodiac animal years.

Key phrase: Let loose and let go! Feel good, and make someone laugh!

Don't always be Kyo Cat!

Bleach Vol. 65 Review

"Bleach" is the hit manga by Tite Kubo that has taken the comic book and animation world for a thrilling, action-packed, supernatural battle adventure. Fans come from all countries, ages, and even genders. However, the series is mostly popular with girls and young women. "Bleach" follows the fictional events and story of Ichigo Kurosaki who started out as a fifteen year old high-school freshman that could interact with apparitions of "Karakura Town", the suburban town where he lives. Ichigo met Rukia Kuchiki who transferred all of her "Soul Reaper" power to him both at great cost to her reputation and so that he could save her life in that moment. Eventually the story in the manga post-hocs that of the anime and this manga is still running in North America.

In the manga vol. 65 of "Bleach", the reader sees Zaraki passed out without his eyes closed, defeated by the "quincy" opponents he was battling with.

The main opponents in vol. 65 are:
They're happy-go-lucky seeming girlish women (kind of), that actually disposed of Zaraki's "strongest sword" that he finally mastered, for battle. (Get your mind out of you know where lol). Jokes aside, Zaraki's fighting techniques are, or were, slower than Ichigo's from the beginning, so it makes sense that he lost four-on-one with those chicks.

Early on, Ichigo shows up and wants to fight, saying to Zaraki that he, "Came to help...". In review, I think that Ichigo's character hasn't been radically developed by vol. 65 or he would have learned how to talk to Zaraki's character on a more equal level, maybe Ichigo would even address Zaraki's more senior level "Soul Reaper" status than by a friendly kind of patronizing... Either way, Kubo probably decided that it is in the best interest of the manga not to radically change Ichigo's personality.

Not to reveal all of the contents of the volume, Ichigo takes on the four quincy chicks at once also, in a battle which shows the usual "Bleach" style onomatopoeia or sound effect speech graphics. Bleach onomatopoeia are easy to follow probably easier than "Naruto" but not as interesting as "One Piece".

Anyway, Ichigo fights and is caught in an awkward moment where he could have been defeated (not pictured). You'll have to read the volume for yourself. I believe, that's good enough reason to pick up a copy.

Throughout the volume on a few sporadic pages, the story follows the antics of the current antagonist, "His Majesty", who seems to be a quincy male with "untold power". That's while Ichigo is spending his "battle energy" on the four girlish women (kind of) who work for "His Majesty". The antagonist follows Kubo's typical "Bleach" event progression formula where "they" are off-scene from the main sequence and also from the "protagonist. Then that antagonist is advancing in a separate plot that hasn't yet encountered any relevant opposing influence (to the antagonist plot). In other words, Kubo uses a popular anime / animation trope for the antagonist characters. I think, that for Kubo and "Bleach" it works and he hasn't really changed his author approach in terms of that formula. Go Kubo?

The characters and their idiosyncrasies are where Bleach changes or progresses in its story. That's where "Bleach" has made its great success. Then in addition, for vol. 65, there's some funny jokes made by Urahara Kisuke (not pictured).

In review, there's good enough reason to pick up a copy of Bleach vol. 65 wherever and whenever, you want.

Side-tickling Types of Humor and the Anime World

Humor, the ability to laugh and make someone else laugh, is one of the best ways to be the best person in the room.

All over the world, with its movies, tv shows, and cartoons, laughter is in high demand because we all just want to feel good while watching TV.

Does milk really come out of your nose when you laugh???

Types of Humor by 
Character and Anime

Urahara Kisuke from the anime Bleach

English dub has some funny yet violent Urahara jokes...

Japanese dub shows Urahara as overly positive, like people who are good at Zingers!

Urahara is the only anime character I could find who executes Zingers almost as well as an American comic. Since the "zinger" is more purely American humor than actually from Japan or anime.

Zinger - A joke that follows a serious tone or awkward situation that serves to lighten the mood and make the listeners lighter and happier. These jokes can keep the flow of positive energy on the speaker and their speech.

Shinpachi Shimura from "Gintama"

Shinpachi is always using "straight-man routine" because his character is a "straight-arrow" good guy.

Straight-man routine - The blunt and forward reaction to either a solemn or outlandish topic or situation that makes the speaker assume the role of a "straight arrow" person. People relate and might laugh because of the situation's unusual weight on the speaker.

Gif version!!! (See of you can get the joke from the animation)

Monkey D. Luffy, One Piece anime

Luffy, the class-clown kind of guy who will be the Pirate King one day!

Class-clown / Star-of-the-Show - These jokes always come from a speaker who is the most popular character and they're either witty in general or are so outlandish in their critique of something else that the whole room is uplifted to the same popularity that the speaker enjoys and employs. :D

Goku from the DB, DBZ, DBGT, etc... series...

Goku from DBZ exemplifies "Class-clown / Star-of-the-Show" humor because of his outlandish reactions in the Dragon Ball world that show his easy-going optimistic personality.


Okabe of Steins ; Gate

Okabe frequently finds himself in situations where the other characters are trying to intimidate him... And he tries to be intimidating to be funny but it doesn't always work. It does make him look funny and like a good person.

Intimidator - These aren't always jokes but they are somewhat threatening in nature so that the person that they're directed to is laughed at because of their inferiority to the speaker.

Mio the main character of MM!

Mio from MM! is pretty intimidating and she's got the ability to be funny because she makes the viewers feel her rage!


Awakawa Under the Bridge

This is a great example of "Intimidator" humor that makes the viewer laugh but they're not really intimidating her. (They are tough guys in "tough clothes" lol)


Sakata Gintoki
Anime:  Gintama

Gintoki's cutting and witty remarks kind of make him a "pure host" because all of the other characters in Gintama look to him for moral support. Whenever everyone else looks to you for moral support, you've got the ability to use "Host" or "Hostess" humor in the real world!

Host / Hostess - The speaker controls the room or the other characters by happily patronizing as many of them as possible at once, usually with a combination of other humor and some kind of innate, natural based charm.

Suzumiya Haruhi from "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya"

Haruhi has the "Host" or "Hostess" kind of personality that makes everyone around her either laugh out loud or really comfortable, maybe even uncomfortable!


Saito from "Welcome to the NHK"



Saito is very sarcastic and very sardonic so its really hard to tell which one he is more. That's what makes "Welcome to the NHK" popular, funny, and well-watched all over the place.

Sarcasm / Sardonism - Use of either a very forward tone in a difficult or laughable situation or the disparate comparing of two very different ideas while shedding a pretentious positive or negative light on the conversation topic to the audience. Always downplays the situation or the topic at hand.

Natsume Yuu-jincho

Nyanko-sensei, the calico cat pictured, is a sarcastic talking cat that accompanies Natsume as his familiar, kindred spirit, or even as a guardian angel (but the Japanese people would rather say "familiar" for animal or "kindred spirit" for angels).

Neko-sensei and Natsume react sarcastically to something that someone says to them. They're a great team even when Nyanko has to sock it to Natsume.



Chi's Sweet Home

Chi always has cute reactions that make me laugh!

Cute / Moe Humor - Almost forgot one, this kind of humor is about lighthearted and warmhearted laughter after seeing a cute scene, cute character flustered, or a cute person in a funny situation!

Toradora

When moe characters fight it's almost seen as funny, right??

"There you have it..."

"Shall we review the evidence?"

:D
