"An Anime Addict"

Dear Diary,

Nowadays, a lot of people are addicted to anime. But actually, this started years back when the Japanese people brought this to our country. Even some of the senior citizens are addicted to this one. Through technological improvement, the population of anime grows up. And honestly, I’m one of these people from the different countries in the world. Because of anime’s famousness, you could already see them not just on televisions. Some are on posters, wallpapers, billboards, or even on people’s clothes! This is anime, never fades its famousness as time passes by.

Anime: in Japanese, but typically in English is an abbreviation of the word "animation". Outside Japan, the term most popularly refers to animation originating in Japan. To the West, not all animation is considered anime; and anime is considered a subset of animation. While some anime is hand drawn, computer assisted animation techniques have become quite common in recent years. Like any entertainment medium, the story lines represent most major genres of fiction. Anime is broadcast on television, distributed on media such as DVD and VHS, and included in video game. Additionally, some are produced as full length motion pictures. Anime often draws influence from manga, light novels, and other cultures. Some anime storylines have been adapted into live action films and television series. Totally amazing! You know, at an early age of four, I was already addicted to anime. The very first anime, which I saw was “AkaZukin Chacha”. Honestly, I will never ever forget this show. It is full of action, drama and comedy. That is why; anime has many genres typically found in any mass media form. I really idolize these, Japanese people who are experts in making anime characters. Someday, I want to be like them. After all, I really love drawing and I have a little bit of skill for drawing. Up to now, I’m still a great, big fan of anime. By now, I’m totally addicted with “His and Her Circumstances”. Another thing why I like anime is because of the beautiful and handsome characters. I even have three anime crushes. They are, Swichero of His and Her Circumstances, Kai of Beyblade, and Lee Shauran of Card Captor Sakura. Anime features a wide variety of artistic styles. They vary from artist to artist or by studio to studio. They are generally characterized by detailed backgrounds and stylized characters in a variety of different settings and storyline, aimed at a wide range of audiences. Anime also has its other term, “Japanimation” but still, the word anime exist to the hearts and minds of Anime addicts. But the majority type of anime I like is that the main casts are all girls. Like Sailormoon, AkaZukin Chacha, Magic Knights Rayearth, Super Gals, Winx, Sakura, and Totally Spice. I also love their costumes. When I was a kid, I used to mimic their lines, costumes, and scenes. How funny to recall years back, when I was mimicking Sailormoon, I followed the way she dressed. When my mother saw me, she hurriedly got her camera, and took a picture of me. After she developed the film, she showed to me that silly picture. How funny I look with that attire! To avoid showing them to other people, I stole it from our album and hid it in my room. Until now, it is nowhere to be found. But how I wish that picture would not show to us back again. Well, that could be all!
