(WARNING: What started as a simple anniversary post turned into a full on discussion on the history of this blog.)
It was on this very day, exactly two years ago that I decided to create this blog. I didn't intend it to be some professional, money making site that would attract millions of viewers. All I wanted was to create a space where I could dump my thoughts. Also, I secretly just wanted to create another website, because making websites is fun. I didn't even intend to make it otome-based, it was just a blog. A very personal blog.
Before this, I had owned about five blogs in the past. One I actually tried to make professional and cool, but I eventually gave up. It's really difficult to become popular using a blog in the age of Instagram and Snapchat. The other four blogs were just random thought dumps and just general space wasters.

Dance With Devils (The Anime) - A Review
Today I am very excited to review an anime that I've been watching this past week. I know, you may be thinking, "Misty, you don't even watch anime, and this is a blog for games!" but this series just happens to have an otome tied to it, making this post 100% thematically relevant to this site.
From the title, you'll know that today's review candidate is Dance With Devils. I didn't actually know too much about this series until a few weeks ago, when I stumbled across somebody's review of the Vita game. For those who are unaware, I'll give a quick little rundown of what it's all about, except the plot, of course. I'll be touching on that a little bit later.

Another Switch Otome Announced!
I don't usually blog about otome news, but this one was so exciting that I just had to talk about it. Plus, it's about a game I reviewed recently, so it makes sense to post about it, right?
Anyways, Voltage have announced that they're bringing Kissed by the Baddest Bidder to the Switch! Why did they have to say this days after I used my free coins to buy Soryu's route? I was planning to get more stories too, once I'd gotten enough coins....
I'm quite happy that Voltage are making some of their titles available on a console. It's just giving me another reason to want a Switch... I'm 99% sure that these ports won't have physical copies, but that's alright. I don't know exactly what stories are going to be included in this Switch KBTBB, but judging by Voltage's other releases, it'll probably be more than just the original main routes, giving us some of the extra stories too. These ports might actually be cheaper than paying for them in Love 365, too.
That's really all I had to say. I always have the urge to blog about new developments in the world of otome, like I did yesterday. But I'm happy that this port's going to happen. I might actually postpone getting anymore KBTBB routes in Love 365 just in case I get a Switch... (I feel like I might buy one for my birthday next year) This news probably means that none of the routes in the mobile version will be free for a short time again, but oh well. Maybe I'll check out some of the other Voltage otome instead...
This concludes my post for today. I know it's a very short post, especially for me, but there's not really much more to report on. Goodbye.

New Ikemen Vampire Boys
For about fifteen days now, there's been a video on Cybird's official YouTube channel showing artwork of the three new characters they'd announced. Even though it'll probably take an eternity for them to come to the English game, I just thought I'd share the video with you here. (Also, it's just fun to talk about otome news and stuff!)
In case you are unable to view the video due to data limitations and stuff, I have provided screenshots of the new characters down below. These have probably already been widely circulated around the web, but I don't care.

Kissed by the Baddest Bidder - Soryu's Route Review
I finally managed to save up enough Love 365 coins to buy a whole route, and instead of purchasing something different, I did what I always do: stick to what's familiar. And what story did I buy? Read the title, it says there.
Yes, I decided to read another Kissed by the Baddest Bidder route. This time, I decided to go for Soryu, only because he's my usual type, and I thought he looked hot. Actually, I think I wrote in my review of the last KBTBB review that I wanted to unlock his route eventually.
So, let's begin another review, shall we? It's been a while since I've reviewed a full route like this.
Spoiler alert: I really loved Soryu, and did not regret spending my coins on him whatsoever.

My Top Five Favourite Diabolik Lovers Songs
Hello, everybody! Today, I am going to be writing about Diabolik Lovers character songs. Oh dear, this sounds like an intro to a YouTube video, not a blog post. Anyway, I've been listening to them a lot lately, so it's made me want to blog about them. I suppose this'll be sort of like a review, except I'm not going to be covering every single song, because that'll take ages, and I haven't even listened to them all yet!
(I know I keep writing about this franchise, but honestly, I'm really obsessed with it, probably more than any other otome thing, so I always end up wanting to talk about it somewhere! Really, I know nothing about the series because I've only listened to a few of the CDs, played one game and watched the anime, but I don't really care. Anyway, I've been meaning to write this for about two weeks now, but I keep forgetting about doing it! )
Firstly, I'll just talk about the songs in general, then I'm going to list my top five favourites out of the lot. Hopefully, it won't read like a boring, uninspired WatchMojo video transcript. I don't really see much discussion about these songs online, so I wanted to create a little bit of documentation about them. Actually, about a day after I decided to make this post, I found that someone else had already made a post like this. Oops. I suppose you can't be original all the time.
I seem to be filling my posts with a lot of memes lately...

A Quick Update!
Anybody visiting this blog for the first time will just scroll through and see all of these mini-updates instead of actual posts.
I just wanted to check in and say hi, because I feel like I used to post a lot more often back in the summer. Just so you know, I am working on a post that should hopefully be of decent quality. Unfortunately, I don't have any console games to review, but there's a drama CD coming for me in the post that I'm definitely going to cover!
Also, I think this blog's second anniversary's going to be on the 29th, if I remember correctly. I'll have to prepare a deep, heartfelt thank you post for that.
I've been looking at my blog's stats, and it appears that people have been actually looking at my older posts. One of my IkeVamp posts has twenty views, whereas everything else has about two or three. I don't like looking at the stats, because it embarrasses me to know that people have read my stuff. I mean, I want people to look at it, but at the same time, I find all of my writing to be really cringeworthy sometimes. That is one of the reasons why I don't edit my stuff.
Anyway, I just wanted to say that I have some interesting stuff planned. Really, whether it's interesting or not depends on your tastes, but whatever. I'm going to end this post now.
See you all in the next post!

National Boyfriend Day
Today is supposed to be National Boyfriend Day. I don't know what country celebrates it, but that doesn't really matter. What matters is that I only found out about it once the day was over!
I don't really have a real boyfriend to celebrate it with, but I still feel like I should've done something otome related. Or maybe I shouldn't have. It's not National 2D Boyfriend Day. Well, I suppose I did read stuff about otoge, and I did play a bit of Ikemen Sengoku. I also listened to some fairly romantic boy band songs, does that count? I did replay some Code: Realize yesterday too, and earlier this week I ordered a drama CD entirely with money earned through Swagbucks. I'm not going to tell you what CD it is yet, but there's a 99.99% chance that I'm going to review it.
I even planned to potentially write a proper post today, but that never happened. Oh well. Next year, I'll make sure to mark my calendar and do something to celebrate it. You have my word. (I'll probably forget all about it tomorrow though.)
I feel like I should attach an image here, but I don't know which one. A picture of two people snogging? An otome CG?
It's not really that much of a big issue if I miss this. After all, it is a "national" celebration, and it's probably not even celebrated where I live. Anyway, it's not like I've missed Halloween or Christmas or something.
Still, I do feel a bit disappointed. It's like in the Sims 4 where there's a special event but you don't bother with it, and you get a message saying "So-and-so is disappointed with <insert holiday name here>. They didn't get to partake in any of the usual traditions they enjoy."
At least it encouraged me to write this post.
Happy National Boyfriend Day, everybody, even if you didn't know it existed. There's always next year, or you could just celebrate whenever you want, really. Nobody's stopping you.
