Anime and Me

  I love watching anime. Since I was a kid, the Chinese-dubbed anime broadcasted in Taiwanese television channels were my favorite shows. Even though I’m a grown - ass woman now, I love watching anime , very much . Although my mom would comment that I should grow out of it because I am no longer a kid, I think that it is because she does not know how dark some anime could be. Actually, my passion has gained throughout the years. It is the only activity that genuinely makes me happy (at least for now, it is true). To me, anime is fascinating, exciting and definitely out-of-the - world . I admire how wild the imagination of the creators can get , and how the animators tell the story through creative visualization .   As I said it all started from television, then, when the internet is available to us during high school, I started downloading it as many as I can. Right now, I still have around 2TB of downloaded anime that I haven’t watched . I got into college and free tim...

The stereotype about affluence people is right—they are keen to use money to solve any problem.

Year: 2016 Genre: Drama , Romance , School , Sci-Fi , Shoujo Studio: Telecom Animation Film Episode: 13 Synopsis Orange is the story of five people sending letters to their 10-year-younger-self in order to save one of their friends who committed suicide. I love the pacing and storytelling of the anime. Each episode ends before I knew it.  My Review Is ‘orange’ a color or a fruit? I was looking for a light-hearted shoujo anime to watch when I came across Orange . I thought: this looks like a good one. What could go wrong? And it didn’t take long for me to realize I was dead wrong. If I have a life of anime that make me cry my heart out, Orange definitely will be on the top 10. Picture taken from https://wall.alphacoders.com/big.php?i=836802 I love the character building of this anime. Everyone (the six main protagonists) has their own personalities, however, some were highlighted more often than others. The character with the perfect personality would b...

Year: 2011 Genre: Comedy; Psychological thriller; Science Fiction Studio: White Fox Episode: 24 Synopsis The story is about main protagonist Okabe Rintarou , who is passionate about doing time-space related experiment in his lab, working on a phone-microwave device and discovers that the device could send message to the past. The story involving time travelling unravels as he meets new people and assign them to be his lab members. Picture taken from IMDb My Review The first few episodes are quite boring as it sets the background for the story and building the main characters. However, vital clues are given out in those episodes. I did not catch up well with the presentation of the story at first with the Chunibyo personality of Okabe Rintarou intertwining with the main theme of the anime—time traveling, which is a serious topic. Some glitch happened and I was plain confused. Therefore, I gave up for a while after watching the first episode. Because of th...
