How to love the work and not to be shy!
How to respect the animator’s work, also how to not be shy when you tell people you are into anime. That’s not the easiest to do. Especially if you can draw really well. Well, I can’t draw. Sometimes eyes. But that’s about it.
So imagine, trying to draw a scene where two or more people are fighting and making sure that you have everything the way you want it. Or what some people do is exaggerate the features of some part of the body. Like parts of this clip, it’s from an anime called Fooly Cooly, just saying, it’s very weird. I like it, this is my boyfriend's favorite anime. And the animation is great in it, it’s just the story is kinda weird, also some symbolism...can be kinda weird. Also this picture is from Fooly Cooly, you can see how its kinda exaggerated. Funny clips of Fooly Cooly
Another way to think about it, if you are an artist, you know how hard it is to draw certain parts of the human body like hands, feet, ears, etc. So when you know how hard something is, you can really learn how to appreciate it more. Like how when you watch a sport on TV and you can sit there and say “Oh, that’s easy, I can do that!” Then you try it...and it doesn't work out at all. Well this is a good thing to think about when you are watching anime. Also just the art itself, thinking about someone sitting and putting out their ideas, and see if anyones likes it. That’s a big risk, because there is so much time spent on the idea. Like One Piece. I’ve never watched it, because, it has 711 episodes, and it first came out in 1999. And I believe the manga is still ongoing….That is a huge project! A couple of my friends have watched it, and yes, all episodes. Other ones include, Bleach, Naruto and some others you can find would be on WatchMojo, where they talk about other good long running anime. WatchMojo top 10 long running Animes
The next thing I want to talk about is how not to be shy. For me it was really hard, because growing up the friends I did have, didn’t like it or only like one or two. When I got older, when I told people, they always gave me a weird look. Which was hard to get over. It wasn’t until I was 15, I really opened up to a couple of people and they were into anime as much as I was. It was great!
The way I see it, it's like talking about a sport with someone. You talk about it with so much excitement in your voice, and sometimes its hard to talk about it. I wish it could be as common as talking about sports or a famous person. Because, anime is like stepping into another world, and you see how people grow, and how they laugh and learn. It’s wonderful. Also the music is awesome. A couple of my favorite.
So after a couple years, I’m a proud 18 year old, that is not afraid to say I love anime. I hope you enjoyed the blog. It was really fun to make. If you have any questions, you can always ask.
