Rent a Girlfriend: The Upcoming Season 2 and Possible Release Dates

After the protagonist, Kazuya Kinoshita, is dumped by his girlfriend, he goes online to rent one. The one-month long dalliance with his ex Mami Nanami has made him take such a drastic step as he hopes to find the right balance in life. He meets his rented girlfriend, Chizuru Mizuhara on an online app. But thinking that she is too good to be true, Kazuya gives him a low rating for which he is later reprimanded by her. He takes her to meet his grandmother after she collapses in the hospital, to his surprise, his grandmother really likes Chizuru when she gets to know her. Kazuya then keeps renting her to make his friends and family happy, but things get weird when they find out that they are next-door neighbors who attend the same college.  

Released earlier this year, the show became a huge success this year. The show was able to compete with other anime like In/Spectre, God of High School and Tower of God, which have been great hits of this summer. Even though season 1 of the show has just concluded, the excited fans are already speculating release dates of season 2. The season finale just premiered this Friday, and it has been officially announced that the show is renewed for a season 2.

However, the announcement of season 2 is hardly a surprise looking at the success that Rent a Girlfriend has had. Whenever there is a discussion over the continuation of an anime, the two most decisive factors are source material and the popularity that the show has been able to achieve. Rent a Girlfriend has been the second most popular show in Japan on Netflix after Fire Force, which means it has enough fans rooting for it to make a return. Then there is the question of the source material. Rent a Girlfriend manga already has over 150 published chapters and the season 1 is probably going to cover only 50 chapters which means there will be over hundred chapters that will still be available for the upcoming seasons.

So, since the show ticks, both boxes of popularity and source material and it seems that we can expect not just season 2, but many more seasons after that. With the material of more than a hundred chapters already available, everything is ready to go, and the fans aren’t wrong in expecting the second season as soon as possible. As far as the official dates for the release are concerned, there are no announcements regarding it as of now. But the fans can expect to see the show again by next year’s summer, so the wait hopefully is not going to be that long. Rent a Girlfriend is probably going to continue its successful run even after season 2 if its current fanbase is to be believed. If you are a fan, then you can rest assured, Rent a Girlfriend is here to stay.

OnePlus to Debut Its Message App on Play Store

 

OnePlus to Debut Its Message App on Play 

Store

Off late, OnePlus has been consistently adding its stock apps on the Google Play Store. This will help them push faster updates rather than having to wait for a full OTA to the phone, which makes their work much more manageable. The latest OnePlus app to hit Google Play is its OnePlus Message app. Now, there are already some excellent options in this category that have been around for quite a long time. But OnePlus is confident that its Messages app is unique and will easily trump every other app similar to it.  

The app might not appear exactly the same as the one that you might see on OnePlus phones as the company seems to have made a few tweaks to the app for now. Just like Microsoft’s SMS Organizer, the messaging app is also working on a text sorting feature that will help the user organize all the messages. This means that all the messages that are related to OTPs, promotions and transactions won’t be lumped together but instead sorted properly to avoid mix up. These features are exclusive and were announced last year, but recently it has been reported that it will soon be available to all users living anywhere in the world.

Another handy feature that comes with the app is the option to copy OTPs easily. Whenever you receive a message that contains an OTP, you will have two options that will appear alongside each other, by clicking on “Copy OTP” tab you will be able to copy OTP to the clipboard, after that you can paste it wherever you need. As of now, the app is not available for public view, yet one can still find it in early access. Once the message app is stable, it will be available when you search for it on Google Play.

Once the app is active on the Play Store, it does not mean it can be downloaded on any android device. If you don’t have a OnePlus phone, then there is a good chance that the app won’t even show up when you look for it. Only the OnePlus apps that are supported on phones from other manufacturers will show up. The app is expected to launch its stable version in the coming weeks. Since OnePlus is preparing to launch its new phone OnePlus 8T, will the company look to debut its message app somewhere around that time? No one can say it with certainty; we might have to wait and see what OnePlus has in store of us.

PS5 Game Sizes Get Revealed and You Might Need External Storage

The PS5 game sizes have been revealed, and yes, they do have the tendency to chew through SSD storage at a superfast speed. The 825GB SSD storage of the PS5 might be blazing fast, but it will most probably fill up with some installs of the games that are coming soon.

Till now there are not many of the install sizes announced for the upcoming games, but the ones that have been announced include:

The Demon’s Souls remake will have an install size of over 66GB.

The Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Launch Edition, would have an install size of 105GB. Even, if you install only Spider-Man: Miles Morales, it would be consuming over 50GB of your PS5’s SSD space.

The console games are getting more significant year after year and so have the storage for games consoles. The storage on the gaming consoles have increased too, as the Xbox One X and the PS4 Pro comes with 1TB of storage.

But, even if the PS5 comes with a superfast SSD, it has less storage compared to that of the PS4 Pro. And it looks like with the large game install size; players will not be installing the large game libraries on PS5 consoles until Sony comes out with some sort of data compression techniques.

So, the PS5 storage will have an off-the-shell expandable SSD storage. But these should be PCIe 4.0 SSDs, and Sony certified. However, none of them is available right now. Like the expandable storage for Xbox Series X, the PS5 expandable SSD storages would be costing a good amount.

Storage Consumption

The installation of Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Launch Edition would be taking over 13 percent of the SSD storage of the PS5. If more games would be consuming this much storage, then this will be bad news for the PS5 SSD storage. Like the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Season 4 comes with a massive install size, alongside many other games.

However, this would be a very minimal problem if you have a robust broadband connection for downloading massive games and that too in an expected amount of time. But if your connection is slower, then you will require a significant amount of time and patience for playing the next-generation games.

Compared to the PS5, the Xbox Series X would be coming with a 1TB SSD, but it will also get filled up quickly if the games come up with large install sizes.

However, what is the situation of these next-generation gaming consoles, would more effectively be figured out when they launch in November.

The Xbox Series X is all set to launch worldwide on November 10; however, the PS5 would be launching in the US and other regions on November 12, while the countries like U.K., Europe, and others will have to wait till November 19. Pre-orders are currently live for PS5, Xbox Series X and Series S, but their stocks are selling out at lightning speed. So, if you want to order any one of them, then don’t think for the second time, just order it quickly while they are in stock. Otherwise, you will have to wait for them to arrive again.

No Demo for FIFA 21, Still There Is a Lot to Wait for

FIFA 21 is one of the most awaited games of 2020, as the previous versions have been a huge hit. However, in their latest tweet, Electronic Arts announced that they would not be releasing a FIFA 21 demo this year as they want their team to be focusing on delivering the best full game experience. EA made the announcement from their official Twitter account where they also declared that they would be launching FIFA 21 on 9th October, and their team is working hard for it. The release of FIFA 21 is delayed due to the pandemic. Earlier it was expected to be launching in September.

FIFA 21 is expected to be one of the best offerings from Electronic Arts. FIFA 21 will be available in three different editions where Standard edition costs $59.99, the Champions edition costs $79.99 and the Ultimate edition will be coming for $99.99. There are obvious differences in players and kits among all these three editions. FIFA 21 will be available across all the current generation major gaming consoles including the PS4 and Xbox one, as well as the next-gen consoles, the PS5, and the Xbox series X. 

The skipping demo from FIFA 21 has received mixed reactions from the fans. Many fans are disappointed as EA breaks its tradition of releasing demos. They believe that there is not much that developers can add to the full game experience by saving the time of not releasing a demo. However, some fans are not bothered by FIFA not releasing a demo. They say that is not a big deal and it will save some time for them playing against AI. They believe that EA is going to add some more exciting features to the game by saving the time of releasing a demo. The release of FIFA 21 in October is going to be more special as PES 2021 is already here and EA is certainly preparing to beat this game.

It is expected that in FIFA 21, EA will be making some improvements in gameplay and career mode than the previous versions. FIFA 21 is going to come with the ‘Quick Sim’ option which will allow players to jump in and out of the game and influence the direction of the season. There is also going to be a new Active Training System to improve the skills and capabilities of the players, and it will be useful as the opposition AI has also been improved. The game is also going to have better controller haptics, lighting system, audio, and off-ball humanization for the better experience of playing the game. There will be new attacking systems like Agile Dribbling, Positioning Personality, and Creative Runs to enhance the immersive experience of playing.

There is a lot that can be expected from FIFA 21, and now as EA has officially announced the release date of the game, it is becoming difficult for fans to keep up their excitement, even if there are going to be few changes.

Nintendo Removes Harv’s Fences and Many Other Items From Animal Crossing: New Horizons

The fall update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons has gone live now. The purpose of the update was to introduce a Halloween event in the game, and now when the update is live, the players can grow pumpkins, collect candy, do Halloween decorations with pumpkins and wear scary Halloween costumes in the game. Amazing, right? However, with the release of this new update, Nintendo has also removed some hacked items from the game.

With the new update, Nintendo has removed Harv’s fence and many other hacked items from the game. So, if you are someone who has decorated his island with these items, then all your items have been removed now thanks to the new fall update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons. For a long time, Harv’s fence was the most popular hacked item in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Officially it was never meant to be accessible by the players. However, few hackers made that possible (made Harv’s fence accessible) and started selling stacks to the players in the game. But not anymore, thanks to Nintendo.

Although items like Harv’s fence never gave any advantage to the players in the game, these items are still popular among the players in the game. However, you can still keep these items on your island only if you don’t update the game.  But you will not be able to participate in the Halloween event, which means you can’t grow pumpkins, do Halloween decoration, collect candy, etc. in the game. It appears that Nintendo is all set to remove all the hacked items from the game, and it might just be a matter of time when these items become history.

Additionally, some players have been reporting problems/issues with the game’s villager posters after the new fall update. Many players are saying that after updating the game, they are unable to access/purchase posters (villager posters) from the catalog in the game.  What does this mean?  It means you can no longer buy posters for yourself from the catalog in the game.

However, it’s worth mentioning that Nintendo is all set to bring back Animal Crossing amiibo cards/Animal Crossing cards for the players. These cards come with a price tag of $ 5.99 and will allow players to collect villager posters in the game. Coincidence? Well, we don’t think so.

Our View

With the fall update now, players can now grow pumpkins, do Halloween decorations, collect candies, wear Halloween costumes in the game. But some players are not that happy with the update because it has removed many hacked items from Animal Crossing: New Horizons.  Besides this, it appears to us that Nintendo might be gearing up to remove all the other items from the game too. But will it really happen? Well, only time will tell whether this happens or not.

The 100 Recap: Crucial Instances When Clarke and Bellamy Teamed Up

Two protagonists of the post-apocalyptic CW drama series “The 100” weren’t exactly like best buddies all the time. In fact, they started out as rivals before becoming pals. They have been through landslides after landslides, and the dynamics of their relationship is a work of art. They can understand each other, they can fight against each other; and when the time is generous towards them, they can make each other win.

But one thing is a certainty-when their skills and courage are combined, the duo is unbeatable.

So, here are the instances when the two hearts of the story Clarke Griffin (played by Eliza Taylor) and Bellamy Blake (played by Bob Morley) teamed up together big time.

The Force that Binds Them all

At the end of the season, we see the duo at the peak of their leadership, especially when they join hands to keep Grounders away from the delinquents. The duo forget their differences after the death of Charlotte and agree that both of their priorities converge on the point that leads to the safety and unity of the survivors.

At the end of the season, the duo helps the “100” in understanding each other and in realizing that their best interest is in helping each other.

Destroying the Cruelty of A.L.I.E.

It was high time, and Clarke and Bellamy had to forget about their conflict involving Pike and Lexa. A.L.I.E. was becoming mighty powerful at the end of Season 3 because Jaha had been providing her with chips that gave her superpower to gain control of everyone’s mind.

With all the hope dying away and everyone coming under the grip of A.L.I.E. It was Clarke, Bellamy, Octavia, Raven, and Monty that came together to form a defying resistance against the menacing cruelty.

The final blow was given by Clarke when she confronted A.L.I.E. on the Flame and on the City of Light. Bellamy stood his ground in reality, protecting Clarke’s body.

Rescuing 47 from Mount Weather

When Clarke and Bellamy found out the reality about Mount Weather and the horror behind the scenes, they became petrified. Being heroes of the world, they couldn’t tolerate the fact that grounders were being locked up in their cages and were drained of their blood. So, both of them formulated a plan, the first step of it was for Bellamy to get inside Mount Weather as an inside man.

They talked to each other on the radio during the entire mission, but their clever understanding of the situation becomes clear at the end when they don’t dispute on whether or not they should pull the trigger.

Praimfaya Apocalypse

The duo again showed maturity and showed that they do not possess any stupid ego in the face of impending danger. Clarke and Bellamy become acquaintances once again, forgiving each other’s past mistakes and quickly sets upon on their quest for survival against an apocalyptic Praimfaya.

Furthermore, the possibility of a conflict was less because everyone understood that if they don’t work together, Praimfaya will kill them all.

Monty’s Final Words

At the end of Season 6, Monty said his goodbye to Clarke, Bellamy and the rest of the group and wished that all of them would do better in the future.

Despite the duo’s die-trying efforts, people were still dying, and the group was getting thinner and thinner. The message compels the duo to look each other in the eye and feel the helplessness that is pervading between them. They couldn’t help but ask themselves-‘are they doing better?’

All the seven seasons are currently available to view on Netflix.
