In the second episode of Pokémon: Twilight Wings, we are introduced to Bea. She is the fourth Gym Leader players go up against exclusively in Pokémon Sword, where it seems little is known about her at first glance. But in this episode, we get to see her blowing off some steam after a recent battle.
As I slowly get back into the swing of things, broadening my anime horizons, there is one anime series that I really need to watch more of once I catch up on a few other shows. JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is one series that people would be shocked to find that I haven’t immersed myself in by now. One scene has given me more reason to include it on my immediate watch list.
Interesting, albeit unless fact: I began writing this post back in 2013 as a regular feature called “Character of the Month“, right when I hit my severe writer’s block and eventually having a family emergency stacked on top of it. Several years later, and after having a “was that a dream?” moment involving this very same character I attempted to write about, I decided to dust off and flesh out that post for a potential new series moving forward called Character Spotlight. For the first post in the series, I wanted to talk about Treize Khushrenada from Mobile Suit Gundam Wing.
Here is something a little different that requires me to feature this as a Music Spotlight post, and one that features another VOCALOID song, because there isn’t enough on this blog–and some gems I have yet to discover to share with everyone! This one I came across while I was browsing around on Pixiv in the Pokémon Sword & Shield tags, an entry from what looks like to be an animation featuring the Gym Leaders Raihan (Kibana/キバナ) and Piers (Nezu/ネズ).
In case you missed it, Crunchyroll held their annual Anime Awards this past weekend, and the list of winners are here! Some of them were predictable, and some surprises, as usual for an award show. There were many awards up for grabs from what 2019 bought us in terms of a memorable anime series, but only one would go home with the prize.
This is something that somewhat pains me to admit, considering how much of a follower of Gundam I am–I have never finished Season 2 of Gundam 00. I began watching it at one point when it aired on the Sci-Fi Channel (The same network now known as Sy-Fy–I refuse to call it as such), but I said to myself that I would catch up with again in the future. As in 10+ years later, by accident.
Posted this on the Instagram account after a friend made a realization that Milo, the first Gym Leader from Pokemon Sword/Shield, looks awfully a lot like young Midoriya from My Hero Academia:
Update: Due to the current circumstances in the world, the release of Hathaway’s Flash has been postponed without a new date. This will be updated as soon as a new date is announced.
Original Post:
Meaning to post this as soon as it came out, but it’s never too late to get hyped up about the long awaited anime film adaptation of the Hathaway’s Flash novel. Get ready for the feels!
And there is still time. The original announcement trailer came out a full year ago, with a then-tentative window of Winter 2020. Hathaway will be released on July 23rd, 2020.
