Character of the Month of November: Toyohisa Shimazu

Well, I got some esplainin’ to do.  So for my regular readers, yes, I took last Sunday off and skipped last week’s post.  However, it was for a good reason and, for once, not related to homework.  I won’t go into details, but let’s just say that I’ll have a little more room and privacy to get things done (blog-related and otherwise).  But given that I missed the opportunity to say this last week, I want to take a minute to say that I hope all of my American readers had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  And I am grateful for each one of you who takes the time to check out my blog!  Anyways, back to this week.  I only had one show to review during the month of November, so I was pretty limited in my choice of characters.  Not only that, it was hard to pick between three really awesome characters.  But in the end, I went with my gut.  So let’s talk a little bit about this month’s Character of the Month: Toyohisa Shimazu from Drifters !

The series opens up at the Battle of Segikahara.  After emerging victorious in battle, Toyohisa Shimazu finds himself severely injured and on the brink of death.  Suddenly, he stumbles into a strange white corridor with a man at a desk at the end.  Just as quickly as he appears in this strange place, Toyohisa quickly finds himself in another strange new world, but with some not

Greetings, earthlings!  Are you ready to catch the latest copy of Pokémon Sun and Moon ?  Well, much like the upcoming election in choosing between Hilary Clinton or Donald Trump, I’m still not sure.  But since my last update, a lot of new details about the games have been released.  Everything from the starter evolutions, to the bad guys, and of course, all the new Pokémon, there’s no shortage of information to share!  Granted, for this update, I’ll strictly be covering the game’s plot and the starter Pokémon’s’ evolutions-since they’re probably the most talked about, the latter in particular.  So without further adieu, let’s talk about some of the latest updates for Pokémon Sun and Moon ! The Starters Alright, so being that this has been an especially exciting piece of Pokémon news, I figured I’d start here.  And I’ll start off by saying YES PEOPLE!  THE LEAKS WERE NOT A LIE! The rumored link that revealed the final starters If any of you remember my last update, I
