My Favorite Youtubers

Hey guys!  So today, I am making a post about my favorite youtubers!

Theodd1sout:

Many of you guys know who this is.  If you don’t, his name is James.  I like him because he makes funny animations and videos.  He also tells us some things that happen during his life and some stuff about himself. (BUT JAAAAAAAMMMMMESSSS!!!)

Jaiden Animations:

Like James, Jaiden makes a lot of funny animations and videos.  And that’s why I like her! She also talks about her funny life stories that, as she says,  “provide us with entertainment, but makes her die up a bit inside”

PrestonPlayz

PrestonPlayz is a youtuber that does a lot of Minecraft parkour, maps, and bed wars.  He is really funny, and does a lot of RANDOM stuff with his friends.  I actually now make better parkour watching him do parkour people made, so now I make better parkour.  Before it was just blocks… Sad blocks… *Sits in emo corner with purple, depressed anime lines going down the back of head* Lonely Cactus…

Aphmau

(Sorry guys, I tried to find her thumbnail, but it was all fan art.) I LOVE Aphmau’s videos.  She plays Minecraft and she does a lot of Minecraft role plays, like My Street, Phoenix Drop High, Minecraft Diaries, and the newest one, Falcon Claw University.  She also does a lot of hide and seek, guess who, and Minecraft murder.  All her role plays have a different adventure, so it’s not boring.  It all revolves around her and her friends, and she always ends up with Aaron, who is her husband in real life.  We later find out that Aaron is the Ultima werewolf, so he is kind of hated by people, but no one knows.  He has the power to turn people into werewolves, so…yeah.

gamer s

Well, gamer s, I don’t really know much about him/her.  I just watch all the Fairy Tail episodes I am catching up on.  So, I thought I might as well talk about him/her.

SBC Week 10: Activity 1

How many posts did you write?

11, well, since October 2017.

How many were school based, your own interests or set by the challenge?

Actually, only one of my posts were about school, and four of my posts were about my interests.

How many comments did you receive from classmates, teachers or overseas students?

In total, I got 15 comments.  12 were from people outside of my school and 3 were from my school.

Which post received the most comments? Why do you think that happened?

The post that received the most comments was the SBC Week 7: Hunger post.  I think it got he most because Miss W put that post into the Flipboard magazine (Thanks Miss W!)

Which post did you enjoy writing the most and why?

Oh, this is a tough one.  Um… Maybe my post about anime.  That was a really fun one because I LOVE anime a lot.  

Did you change blog themes at all and why?

Yes, I did.  I originally had a cherry blossom theme, but I changed it to the Adelle theme, because it was a bit more organized than the cherry blossom one, so I chose that instead.

How many widgets do you have? Do you think this is too many or not enough?

I have 7 widgets consisting of my friend’s blogs and a calendar.  I think it is the right amount of widgets, not to much, and not to little.

How many overseas students do you have on your blogroll?

I actually don’t have any overseas students on my blogroll.  (Sorry guys! You guys are cool, but I might put some of you guy on later, just not now)

Which web tools did you use to show creativity on your blog?

I only use a calendar, but that’s kinda boring.  I mostly try to show some of my creativity through my posts. 

 

Then, I asked my younger sister to evaluate my blog.

Me    Megan

What were your first impressions of this blog?

I thought it was exciting.

What captured your attention?

All the pictures. 😀

What distracted you on the blog?

Some of the pictures distracted me.  Mostly the ones about my dogs and the Sailor Moon picture.

What suggestions can you give me to improve my blog?

None.  I think it’s fine.

Thanks Megan!  By the way, those were her actual answers.  I just altered them a bit to make more sense.

Anime!

Hey guys!  Today I will be talking about anime.  Anime is the BEST.  Today I will be talking about some of my favorites and some other popular animes at my school.

Sword Art Online I and II

You can actually read about SAO in my old post (you can find it here) Explaining a loooong summary.  If you don’t want to read it, here is the short version: SAO is about a bunch of people trapped in a virtual reality game called Sword Art Online.  To get out, at least one person has to beat the game.  If they die in the game, they die in real life.  The main character is Kirito and he wants to beat the game. In the second one, Kirito has to solve a murder in a game called Gun Gale Online.

Naruto

I have never actually watched Naruto, but I know a bit about it. So Naruto is basically about the main character, Naruto, who wants to be a ninja? (Correct me if I’m wrong) He has to overcome obstacles to be a ninja I guess?  And Naruto is the child of the prophecy (Thanks Skylar and Aaron)

Blue Exorcist

(A favorite of mine) So, you can read this post I did with Kira (here).  Basically, Blue Exorcist is about a boy named Rin, who is the spawn of Satan.  He has to keep his power under control with the help of his twin brother, Yukio, and Shura.  He makes friends at his new school, True Cross Academy, where he learns to control his power.  He also goes on many adventures while fighting different demons.  And… Yeah.

Fairy Tail

Yeah! Fairy Tail! I wrote about it in the same post as the SAO one (here).  Long story short, a girl named Lucy, who is a wizard, joins a guild called Fairy Tail.  There she makes friends, fights other wizards, and overcome obstacles.  (Sorry Raya and Breydon, I will catch up as soon as I can!)

One Piece

(This is a good one) One Piece is about pirates.  the main character, Luffy, wants to find the One Piece and become the pirate king.  Luffy gathers a crew and makes many friends on his journey.  He has to battle other pirates to achieve his goal and he has to deal with a whole lot of conflicts.

Ouran Highschool Host Club

(I like this one) Ouran is about the main character, Haruhi, who goes to the Host Club to study.  There, Haruhi accidentally breaks a 8,000,000 yen vase.  Haruhi is poor and can’t afford to pay for the vase (Ouran Acadamy is a rich private school) so Haruhi has to work as a host for the host club. (Notice how I don’t say anything about Haruhi? Not even Haruhi’s gender?) Haruhi makes friends and she hosts while trying to keep his (or her) secret.

Nisekoi

Nisekoi is about a boy named Raku, who is the son of the head of a yakuza.  One day, he gets kneed in the face by Chitoge.  By the way, Chitoge is the daughter of the head of an American gang.  Anyway… They then HATE each other but later find out that they have to act as a couple.  Later in the story you find out that Raku has a lot of other girls that like him and he has to deal with that and his weird life.

Haikyuu!!

(Haikyuu was recommended to me by Raya) Haikyuu is an anime about a highschool volleyball team.  The main character is Hinata, who wants to be like the famous volleyball star, the Little Giant (correct me if I’m wrong Raya) and he joins the volleyball team.  Like any anime, he has to overcome obstacles.

Yuri!!! on Ice

I don’t know much about this anime, but I know it’s about a boy named Yuri who wants to be a figure skater, but it afraid of… something. (again, correct me if I’m wrong)

Case Closed

This is a murder-mystery anime (just so you know).  This anime is about a professional, teenage detective named Jimmy Kudo, who gets knocked out and drugged by two mysterious men wearing black.  The drug turned him into a first grader.  He then lives with his highschool friend, Rachel Moore, who’s dad is also a detective (A TERRIBLE DETECTIVE).  While he is living with Rachel and her father, Jimmy goes under the name of Conan Edogawa and helps Rachel’s dad with his investigations (he doesn’t even know.  Kinda sad) He has to keep his identity a secret and find the mysterious men dressed in black so he can turn back into Jimmy Kudo.

One Punch Man

This is… an OK anime… Basically it’s this guy who is a super hero called One Punch Man.  Apparently he can defeat enemies with one punch.  My dad told me to read one volume, and I guess he went bald from training too hard.  It was weird, so I stopped reading it.

Ranma 1/2

This is a an OK anime. This is an anime about this guy named Ranma.  So… He went training in China with his dad one day (because of their martial arts background) and they fell in a cursed pond.  Now, when splashed with cold water his father turns into a panda and Ranma turns into a girl.  They then turn back with hot water.  Anyway… Ranma has a fiancée named Akane and they hate each other.  Later in the story, Ranma finds out his old childhood friend Ukyo, is ALSO his fiancée.  How did this happen? Well, Ranma’s father originally promised Akane’s father that they would both get married.  THEN Ranma’s father promised Ukyo’s father, who owns an okonomiyaki business, that UKYO would be Ranma’s fiancée in exchange for the okonomiyaki cart.  Then Ranma, still a child, and his father took the okonomiyaki cart and ran away (#BestParentEver).

InuYasha

InuYasha is about a girl named Kagome who can travel back in time.  She goes to the Sengoku time period, which is infested with demons that all want the same thing: the Shikon Jewel, which Kagome has.  There, she meets a half dog, half human demon named Inuyasha.  Kagome’s Shikon Jewel shatters, and she has to collect all the pieces.  This causes her to go on a journey with Inuyasha to find all the shards of the Shikon Jewel.  On their journey, they make new friends that join them on their journey.

Servamp

Servamp (correct me if I’m wrong Skye) is about the main character (sorry I don’t know the name), who finds a cat on the sidewalk.  He takes the cat to his house and names it Kuro.  He later finds out that Kuro is a vampire and he then has to enter this vampire battle royal thing (sorry)?

Little Witch Academia

I have never seen this anime, but Sarah said it was good.  Little Witch Academia is about… uhh… Please hold. *Does loads of research* Ok! I got it.  So, Little Witch Academia is about a girl named Atsuko, who wants to be a witch? And uhh… sorry, that’s all I got.

The Devil’s a Part-Timer

So this anime is about Satan, who ends up in the “human world” and takes a job at Mg Ronalds (Like Mc Donalds) he has to overcome obsticals and… That’s all I can remember from reading the Netflix description. *sits in emo corner with the depressed, purple anime lines going down the back of head*

Future Diary

Future Diary is kinda like Death Note, I think… and Yuki (main character) finds a phone that can tell the future.  They have to destroy the other people’s phones to win a certain game, but they have to do it in a certain order.  (Thanks Sarah!)

Sailor Moon

My sister watches this, so I know a bit about it. (YAY) So basically Sailor Moon is about this girl named Usagi (rabbit) who rescues a back cat with a cresent moon mark on it’s forehead.  The cat then tells her that she is sailor moon, a sailor guardian.  She and the cat then try to find the other sailor guardians.  They have to fight monsters, and… yeah…

Pokémon

Pokémon is about… Wait… EVERYONE KNOWS POKEMON.  WHY AM I DOING THIS?

Chi’s Sweet Home

This is a cute anime.  It’s about this cat named Chi, who lives with a boy named Yohei and his parents.  Chi has a lot of adventures and makes new friends… CAT friends.  Well, that’s all for now! What kind of anime do you watch?

Keep Rocking!

Week 8: Activity 2

Hey guys!  So for the SBC I have been visiting 3 people.

First I visited Nook’s post about French fries!

(spoiler alert: they aren’t French) I chose this post because I thought it was interesting to find out where French fries originated and how it became called French fries. I wrote:

Hi Nook,
I really liked your post! I thought it was interesting to learn how French fries were made. To be honest, I actually thought French fries came from France. Was this hard to research? Come check out my blog!:

Next, I visited Rheagan’s post!

I read her post, and I really liked it.  She wrote about her bucket list.  I thought it was really interesting and I thought it was really good.  I wrote:

Hi Rheagan,
I think this is a great list! I think bullying isn’t right either and should stop too. It hurts other people. I also think you should go to Japan. It is very nice there and everyone there is nice. If you get a car, you should go to Japan. They have a real life Mario Kart attraction that you can tour the city with. I saw it somewhere and I thought it looked really fun. Come check out my blog!:

Last, but not least, I visited Abigail’s post about her.  I chose it because I thought it would be nice to know about someone else (I am not a stalker).  I wrote:

Hi Abigail,
I have a golden retriever. Her name is Lily and she is so fluffy! I also have a shiba inu named Sophie. I also love reading books. I recommend a series called “Warriors”. It’s my favorite series. It is about cats that have to survive in the wild. Come check out my blog!:
