Thoughts About the Silver Spoon

                  When I first read the silver spoon, I thought it is going to be a boring manga. The set up of the manga is just not interesting to a person like me who is so into action and adventure. However, after being introduce to this story, I am kind of like it how the story is. I like this story because how different this story is comparing to other manga series.It's about a boy who enrolled the agriculture school. I feel this story is connect and related to me because I tend to go easy on something that seems easy. However sometime this easy looking thing can really kick you in the back. This "easy looking" thing will actually make you learn more. In addition- look something in a different way. The protagonist tends to go the a "easier" school to prepare his exam, but he ends up in a even harder school he wanted to. Yes, that is how it looks on the surface. But in another view point, he gained friendship he was lacked of and a lot o...

The Post Apocalypse Genre

    Battle Angel Alita is a Japanese manga series written by Yukito Kishiro. The theme of the manga series is Cyberpunk, which the human world has developed significant technological breakthroughs. Things, even human bodies, are hardly mechanized. The story happens in a post-apocalyptic era and the protagonist is a girl cyborg named Alita(Gunme), who has lost all memories and is found in a garbage heap by a cybernetics doctor. The doctor fixes and takes care of her. I like this manga series because Cyberpunk is one of my favorite styles of story. People are changed, and the world is difficult to survive. I love how advanced technology not only changes the human body parts but also changes the human mind. And the non-linear narration of the story is interesting. More and more threats are discovered, as she discovers her truth and memories. At the end it makes people think to whether the development of advanced technology is involving the people or destroying peop...

Question for the Interview Next class

                       So I want to ask, how modern anime in Japan affect the current generation.                   How Japan anime affect current Asia generation and American generation                   What is the rising moment for Japanese anime where it gets globalized?                   Will Japanese anime be growing bigger in the future?

After Thoughts of Cigarette Girl

                    The Cigarette Girl is a short manga series written and illustrated by Masahiko Matsumoto. She originally made the Cigarette Girl a short mange series for several different magazines, but it was collected and published by  Seirinkogeisha. The character in the short stories are all beaten down by life to some degree. It makes the audience feel great sympathy to them. In my opinion, this kind of story that relates to our daily life has a greater impact on the audience because we feel so relatable. I personally do not prefer this kind of story because it makes me feel very depressed in a lot of ways because of the relatability. Especially when the characters are all beaten down by life, and on top of that they still suffer to some degree which it makes me feel strongly sympathetic to them.

After Thoughts About Ayako

                        Ayako is an anime made by Osamu Tezuka. It is about a poor girl been kept and locked up for nearly two dozen years because she is the evidence of her family's  terrible  incestuous  affairs. Her family does not want people to find out that, therefore they decide to do that to her. However, she eventually escapes the basement because of the great political and social changes of Japan. She grows up and seeks for connection of the outside world while terrified by the outside world. That causes the fall and tragedy of the Tenge family. I have a lot of empathy on Ayako, not only she gets locked up in the basement for years but the disconnect from the rest of the world and that's no different than the in prison however she has done nothing wrong. I can not think of how a person can still seek for connecting to the outside world. I feel sad when see Ayako fears the outside world while she still w...

After Thoughts of Miss Hokusai

                 I have never watched an anime that is about a historical character before. Most of the modern animes are about a character from the current time event and issue of a young generation. Even the ones that have some historical element in it are either fictional or somehow modifying the truth of the history. Miss Hokusai is a very special anime that is about the life of a real person Sarusuberi(Katsushika Ōi   ), which mostly known as Miss Hokusai because of her father. I see this is very special because I never think anime featuring a real-life person. I believe the story which based on a real-life character has a greater impact on the audience.
