My Opinion on Fairy Tail

Posted on October 23, 2018 by jackie582

First of all, Fairy Tail was one of the first anime I’ve ever watched. When I watched the first episode, it got me HOOKED. It included many life lessons about teamwork and friendship which was quite heart-warming. I really enjoyed the numerous plots and stories it tells; however, there are way too many random episodes that turned away from them which made the overall anime become…boring. Watching Fairy Tail is like a rollercoaster. It goes from having interesting parts to boring parts commonly. So, I got tired of it and dropped the anime. Sure, there are many huge fans of Fairy Tail out there, but I bet that they can agree with me that this anime can get boring on a few episodes.

What Makes Anime and Manga Educational?

Posted on October 9, 2018October 9, 2018 by jackie582

The television shows and books people have today are nothing compared to what our parents had growing up. Nowadays, the adults scoff at the modern-age children rotting their brains with the shows on television like Spongebob. However, parents should know that letting kids subject themselves to those books and animations are important for the development of reading comprehension and critical thinking skills even if those shows seem like garbage in an adult’s point of view.

In the U.S., anime has been gaining immense popularity due to their increased accessibility. This leads to the problem of parents having their kids become obsessed with manga and anime. This causes the parents to force their children to put away the comics and pick up a real book. Some are even terrible enough as to throw them out when they begin to pile up. However, keeping kids away from their anime and comics is a terrible thing to do!

In manga, reading and rereading the same manga over and over again is the best way for children to naturally develop their language skills. It helps the child pick up on the deeper meaning behind those words. Every time a child wants to reread a manga of their choice, they discover something new. The words make more sense and the meaning behind them become much more clear. Also, they are also learning in a way that they love so they wouldn’t toss it aside like a textbook.

But what about anime? Anime uses pictures to convey its story rather than writing, but it also has ways of increasing a child’s reading comprehension. The secret is providing discussion that leads to critical thinking.

If a kid is interested in an anime, then they would start asking all sorts of questions that leads them to thinking critically. Simple questions like, “What was the most interesting part?” or “I wonder why the character did that…” can inspire critical thinking in children.

In addition, anime and manga can also drastically broaden a child’s vocabulary. In anime and manga, there are words such as “valiant,” “diligent,” or even “prosperous” that are taught in schools for vocabulary. As you can see, this proves the usefulness of anime in education taught in a more creative perspective.

Therefore, there’s no reason for parents or any adult to separate kids from what they’re actually interested in. With manga and anime in particular, there’s great potential for developing language skills!

To all the Anime-haters that Ever Lived…

Posted on September 24, 2018 by jackie582

Some people think anime is “weird”, and seem to develop hate for the people who enjoy watching it. However, have they ever tried it? Many refer to it as a show for children, an “obsession” with Japanese culture, or even a hentai show such as Family Guy and American Dad. However, whenever anime-haters comment on such things, they usually use words such as “refer”, “believe”, or “think”, which proves that they’ve never even tried experiencing it. Strange right?

This seems to happen because of one….stereotypes! Anime is depicted as a show for kids and if adults were to watch it, they would be deemed as “childish.” Unusually, people seem to have no problem with adults watching Disney movies because they’re “more entertaining.” Furthermore, people also tend to tease people who enjoy cosplaying. For example, people tend to find it weird for those in their 20s cosplaying at an event like Anime Expo or Comic-con.

However I believe that many anime-haters don’t realize that there are a number of different anime genres. It can be nice and sweet like those idol animes or cold and bloody like Tokyo Ghoul. Thus, before judging anime, they should start researching its content. Furthermore, I don’t understand why people are so stressed about cosplayers. I mean isn’t kind of cool or interesting seeing people create unique things out of ordinary stuff like paper? To be fair, no one seems to be complaining about those wearing marvel or Disney cosplays…but they seemingly call anime-cosplayers “gross” or “strange.” Therefore, I would like to question how anime-lovers are different from Disney/marvel-lovers.

Because I know people feel strongly about their hatred towards anime, I won’t force them to like it, but I did do my very best to convince them to not hate it in this blog post. In life, there will always be something that people will always dislike, so instead of throwing hate and mean comments, try ignoring them because it truly makes a difference in someone’s life when you don’t hurt them.

Although many people hate anime, I will always love it!💗 I know some can’t relate but watching anime helps me relieve so much stress (even though it’s a bit addictive 😜). There are many people who seem to hide what they love because of their fear of judgment but that’s always okay as long as you are true to yourself. To all those anime-haters that ever lived… You can call me childish. You can call me weird. You can even call me a weeaboo, but you can never stop me from watching what I love most, anime!

Watching anime can actually help you improve in sports!

Posted on September 10, 2018 by jackie582

Have you ever watched a sports anime and thought, “…if only I could do this too..”? Well, I personally believe that watching sport animes can improve anyones athletic ability. For example, watching them play can give people a better understanding of the game, discover interesting tactics, and help develop new techniques.

Furthermore, it also teaches meaningful life lessons. For instance, whenever they lose (in a game), they never give up even if it seems like they’re about to. Instead of grieving about their losses, they would improve their skills and try again. These days, many people have thought that their losses reflect their “low” talents and tend to give up. However, it’s different when it comes to anime. They teach us the importance of learning from our mistakes and the results of not giving up. Thus, perhaps even you can improve.

Questions:

Have you ever tried using an anime sport tactic?

-Yes, I have and it worked! lol

Is this a brand new blog site? -Yes
