Intro to anime: part 1

techtasters — Tue, 14 Jun 2016 23:32:00 -0400

itsananimatedwriter:

Hello you wonderful people of the internet! Animya here to show you guys what anime is and how to start the descent into the world of anime and the anime community. Here is the road to crazy, glomping, fangirls and pocky. Strap yourself down for a wild ride!

First of all, let’s start out with what anime is in the first place so i don’t have to throw around the word and you are reading there like “wtf is she talking about”, so let me clarify.

Anime:

“a style of Japanese film and television animation, typically aimed at adults as well as children.” thanks Google. Anime is for all ages (depending on what anime) and has many different genres and subgenres, that’s why when I hear someone say “I hate anime” I kinda wanna One Punch them in the face because the words that follow are usually “nah, I’ve never watched it”… How does one know something without the experience, I mean I get the response “it’s not really for me” or “i’m just not really into it” because that implies that you have watched some amount and was respectful but “I hate anime, no I’ve never watched it” is as ignorant and ignorant can be. I mean other than like meninists or something. Anyway back to the point which we floated away from, anime.

Now here are some good starting animes to introduce you to this crazy world (keyword: introduce. This is just the beginning)

(Thats Soul BTW)

Soul Eater

Soul eater is an anime filled with action and comedy with a good and stable plot. I think that this is a good starter because It’s one of the animes that I started with and I think it’s an example of what quality anime is and can be. Once you fall in love with the characters, its hard to stop watching.

RWBY (pronounced Ruby)

Yes, yes I know. RWBY isn’t a real actual anime, but it’s a good start to getting used to animation and voice acting and stuff. RWBY stands for the first letter in the first name of team RWBY (Ruby, Wiess, Blake, and Yang) it also stands for the colors. Some anime (more recently) have been showing a more 3D approach to the animation and it is used alot here. Action packed and good characters to follow. You can find this on Youtube or http://roosterteeth.com/episode/rwby-season-1-episode-1

Attack on Titan

Ok back to the anime. This is a very popular one that you probably already heard of. This anime will introduce you to the fandom life and a little of the craziness that is the community. Warning: LOTS OF DEATH IN THIS SHOW well not as much as the next one.

Death Note

Now Death Note is a show with a lot of death (hence the name). This anime is simply amazing and everyone should watch it. It is a very intellectual piece of art that features smarts and brain power. The conflict between the main character and the antagonist is just awesome to watch and to see the story unravel.

Those are just a few of the millions of shows you will watch when you get sucked into the world on anime. There will be a part two to this talking about the lingo that us avid anime watchers use to communicate what type of show it is or what type of character and so on and so forth

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My name is Mya Johnson AKA Animya and this is my blog called TheAnimatedWriter. This blog’s goal is to spread anime news and to recommend new shows. I hope to enjoy our discussions in the comments about fandom life, anime topics, and nerd news. Down to the core, I am an anime fangirl and if you found me that means you probably are one too. Great! We have something in common, hope we get along! :)

The legacy of The Animated Writer lives on…

inspo-101: Hello All, My name is Ashley Marsh, and I’m...

inspo-101:

Hello All,
My name is Ashley Marsh, and I’m a sophomore at Duke Ellington School of the Arts where I am instructed through both traditional and new media arts through writing. This project was an assignment for my Mass Media & Communications class, where students had to produce a music video with the song of their liking, experimenting with the narrative, soundtrack, lighting, etc.
The song I chose was Erykah Badu’s “Caint Use My Phone”, from her newest mixtape themed with cell phones. With this song, I wanted to create a video that pairs with the lyrics well, and that is also visually appealing. The main theme throughout the video is telecommunication, and within that the she addresses all types of communication, which is seen in parts of the video.
Throughout editing the video, I encountered many challenges that diverted my time management. It seemed as though I would never finish, but in the end, I learned many things from trial and error through using several different online editing software. In the end, I created my music video using iMovie, a software pre-built into all Apple products. At first, I was too intimidated to edit on iMovie, having never used it before. It turns out that iMovie is probably one of the best platforms to use versus online editing software that may not work out in your favor. Below is the comparison of the main online editors that I used online, and a mini review. Later on, I will post a more extensive and insightful review on my main blog Inspo-101.

If The Lunar Chronicles Were A Movie . . .

writingshakespeare — Thu, 21 Apr 2016 19:20:00 -0400

gotlostinthewords:

Okay so it’s only been five months since the very last book of the Lunar Chronicles was released and let’s be honest, everyone still hasn’t been able to afford this expensive book so this is still relevant.
I have finally finished the last book, Winter, and may I say, it was the most satisfying and happiest ending I could ever dream of. The crazy drama that went on had me on the edge of my seat and craving more. Speaking of craving more, I did here about the prequel ‘Stars Above’ and, uh, I’m good with this ending. I don’t think I need to know more about the characters backstories after reading about each of them like five times, each.
But any way, let’s get to the meat of the discussion.
What if The Lunar Chronicles were made into movies?
It would be wonderful if that happened, but let’s get things straight.

1. Every character is wonderful and individual.
You know what I hate what people do when they make movie adaptions from books … take away characters or mix together two characters for a smaller cast. What. Is. That? I don’t want any of the characters from this book to just go away because what’s different about these books is that every character matters in a way. Someone moved the story along. Someone was important to the main characters. No one is small. No one should be taken away and have a few of their character traits passed on to someone who seems “more important”.

2. These stories are based off of fairy tales.
But do they need to take a road that’s away from those tales? Absolutely not. Those tales are what’s unique about the stories. I know they are already very different from them, I mean, sometimes I forget that they are based off of fairy tales, but don’t try and make it it’s own thing. Marissa Meyer was trying to make it, at least on the surface, like Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, and Snow White.
3. Don’t be afraid of backstory … and the rest.
It’s not every time that every single book in the series gets a movie. If you’re gonna be like Harry Potter and do ALL of the books, don’t be afraid to let the characters explain the backstory in a way where it’s a little quick and in some cases, a little vague. It’s a trick. It makes people want to actually read the book. If you give too much and drag it out, people will be like “Well what’s the point of reading the book when I got this!” Come on, movie makers, held the authors put bread on the table(#authorslivesmatter). But at the same time, don’t drag it out so much and make it boring. No one will pay attention. I know the Lunar Chronicles is long, but it works for it. Don’t be like Beautiful Creatures where they wanted to take the easy route and try to smash in over 3,000 pages worth of film into one movie and on top of that, get rid of characters and make it all short.
Nope.
I repeat, don’t do that.
4. Levana is ruthless and beautiful but ugly … and vulnerable.
Levana really is pure evil. She will kill without remorse and doesn’t take no for an answer, but if you read the book Fairest you would know that she was not always like that. Levana, like everyone else, has backstory. She’s filled with jealousy. She cries. She’s insecure. You see oodles of that insecurity in the last book. Don’t make her completely ruthless just because. In the last book[SPOILERS] when Cinder revealed her true face to Luna, Levana was so struck and horrified, she dropped her glamour and ran away from the fight. When Cinder went to find her, Levana was filled with so much self-pity that even with her glamour back up, she didn’t even want to look at Cinder because she knows Cinder can always see her real face. Even as they were talking there were times when she lowered her head. Levana is a totally different villain, a villain no one ever sees anymore - just another girl trying to make everyone love her. She’s perfect that way. It’s part of her character arc. Don’t change it.
And now … for the most important thing to say that I have been wanting to talk about …

5. The characters in The Lunar Chronicles ARE DIVERSE.
All of these characters are not all white, let me start with that. I remember on Tumblr how there was this small debate on what ethnicity Cinder was and I didn’t think that it couldn’t be more obvious that she is Asian and White. Yes, Cinder has some ASIAN in her. You know what that means? She IS NOT COMPLETELY WHITE. Hey, you know who else is Asian? Kai. And every other character who is from New Beijing like Cinder’s stepmother and stepsisters. Asian, guys~ Okay?
And our other colored characters? Well, as far as I know, Winter and Iko. Iko’s new appearance near the second half of Cress and the rest of Winter is an android from Africa. Africa. As in Black skin, braids, the whole deal. I’d also like to state that the texture of their hair should not be altered either, as the braids and the curls are indeed what make these two beautiful. Straightening their hair should not be done so in order to cater to white people.

And these are the things that should be done if The Lunar Chronicles were turned into movie.
… … . . Now leave.

writingshakespeare — Thu, 21 Apr 2016 13:00:00 -0400

victoriastyle:

There seems to be this stupid rumor that girls become models because they aren’t intelligent people. First of all if you are one of the people who support this rumor and stereotype then answer this question: Have you ever been to a modeling audition? No? Didn’t think so. Second of all have do you question artist (in general) intellectual ability? No? Then what on earth would cause you to even question this art form? Modeling includes rhythm- used in dance and music. Like in dance you have to let the music control your movements and like in music you have to stay on tempo and on beat. Like acting, sometimes you have to play someone else while allowing your aroua to shine through. So you think modeling ruins self esteem? Maybe, but I plan to help change that. You know how Martin Luther King had a dream about equality? Yeah, so do I. One day the fashion industry won’t turn away from millions of beautiful and unique boys and girl because they’re not tall enough, thin enough, or sexy enough they’ll turn them away because they’re don’t share the uniqueness and the beauty the fashion industry encourages. You know, my only problem I have with the fashion industry is the fact that they support designers that are so different people may question their sanity but won’t support models who introduce something different and special. Do designers honestly want their models to be the same height, same skin color, and the exact same body structure? I know I kind of drifted off from the topic at hand: the intelligence of models, but I feel that everything I’ve said here is exactly what I needed to get off my chest. So thanks for reading my piece.
P.S. Yes I am good at math, it took me a long time to get where I am today. It took me failing math in the sixth grade to getting the top midterm exam in my geometry class. By the way the math on this board is from Algebra II not Geometry.
Love,
Victoria.
