Why Pokemon Are Not Scary

Pokemon is, fundamentally, a game produced by Nintendo that is populer among boys and teenage boys (mostly) all over the world. For them, much of the 'spin-off' trade of the Pokemon phenomena the plush dolls, the Pokemon figures, the Zuken figures is quaint but not particular relevant to their main quest, which is to win the game by becoming a champion. For gamers, the interest and concentration lies in a totally different part of the psyche than it does to a young fan. Their concentration is on strategy and technique visavis a computer interface, not on the kekhasan of the characters themselves. There is a whole different group of aficionados though who love the Pokemon themselves and probably wish nothing more than that the Pokemon were actually real, much in the way I wished dinosaurs were real when I was a boy. These are the kids that go crazy over the Pokemon animation and manga, not the gamers. These kids like to immerse themselves into the mythological fantasy of a

Anime in Japan

While animation has a legacy in the United States, it's also increasingly popular throughout the world, most notably in Japan. In animation school, many students have been greatly influenced by Japanese animation, also known as Anime. Since the early 1900s, Anime has served as an influence on many American animators and filmmakers. There are many different styles of anime in Japan, yet it was relatively unknown in the US until the 1960s when programs such as Speed Racer were broadcast on American TV. There are many different styles of anime, including Mecha which was more science fiction based and had a tendency to use robots in a futuristic setting, Manga, which is primarily print based and Hentai, which is generally pornographic in nature. Before the internet and the immediate availability of sites like You Tube, many anime were shown on television. Years before I went to animation school, I remember seeing a children's show called Kimba the White Lion, which dealt

Is Watching Anime a Sin ?

A teenager once asked, "Is anime a sin? 'Cause I'm trying to love God more. I know war is a sin, but what if you're going for the good guys. Or what if it's just a regular anime?" Here's my point. Literally, watching anime is not a sin. Yeah, right. In fact, I'm writing a book about it wherein I discuss the matter more specifically. Watching anime is just like you're watching an indie film, or Discovery Channel, wherein you acquire some information and at the same time you are being entertained. If I'm going to directly answer the question "Is watching anime a sin?" then the answer is no. However, there are many things to consider when it comes to anime. There are several "but's" about this matter. In a more literal sense, anime itself is not a sin but the way you handle your emotion while watching anime is another thing. That is just one of the many cases. Because there are many. People, especially teenagers, wh

Superman Fights Dragonball Z Goku ?

In anticipation of the upcoming Superman: Man of Steel movie slated to open in theaters this summer, some serious fans of the Kryptonian demigod made a very interesting video take on Superman vs. the mighty Saiyan from the DragonBall Z franchise, Goku. The main thing that stands against Goku in a battle with the Man of Steel is durability. Goku has to constantly train to enhance his body enough to undergo further rigors ­ this spells almost automatic doom against a being of Superman's literally otherworldly power. Kal­El's physical attacks are as devastating as it gets; the only saving grace is the fact he rarely tries to kill. But since Goku wants to wait until his opponents are at full power, and seeks to goad them into unleashing it, he runs the risk of facing the Superman that made mincemeat of Darkseid and bested a reborn Doomsday. Another problem, of course, is the alien from Krypton's own ability to take punishment. If this battle occurs in the daytime, then
