Something that I have been pondering for days ever since I've watched a short episode of Gundam Seed while on the bus.
That episode was the second last episode, where Earth used nuclear weapons to destroy Zaft's fortress and proceeds to attempt to invade Zaft's headquarters. That's where Kira and Athrun used Meteor to destroy the nuclear weapons and attempted to stop the fight between Earth and Zaft.
I saw that episode before, when my sister xiaobai borrowed from her friend. That last few episodes were really sad and wonderful. I didn't watch the earlier episodes but watching later episodes were good enough for me.
Those few episodes are impactful. They bring out the horrors of war, the neverending suffering on both sides of the war. After I watched the last episode, I felt sad and it left me teary.
Why?
Because war is bad. Gundam Seed manages to bring that out. Yes, it is an anime with lots of violent scenes. But it teaches us that war is bad, that people suffer because of war. That nuclear weapons or any dangerous and damaging weapons are evil and lethal. Even though the anime is dramatic, and cliche, the underlying message is big and clear: THERE SHOULDN'T BE WAR! WAR IS BAD!
Naruto is another anime/manga that has good underlying message. Naruto comes across as a 'real' story, because all the character are very real. Fans of Naruto are attracted because the story relates to them closely. The feeling of loneliness, friendship problems..these are real to all of us.
Naruto touches people because even though the characters have sad past, they are able to come out of it in the end...is like a rainbow appearing after it rains. Of course, the person who brings those characters who had fallen into darkness was Naruto...but he himself, with his sad past, can still be optimistic about his future. I wish I can be like him..hehe
Fruits Basket is another manga which I love...because it touches on finding your own identity, standing up towards adversity and many others which I can't explain. Especially the story on the tiger Kisa...how she stopped talking because her classmates laughed at her everytime she opened her mouth. She finally picked herself up with the help of Tohru...who gave her hope and love...
I really love the part, because when you are hurt, when you fell into depression, only that person who gives you love and concern can pull you out. That person could be anyone, as long as the person truly loves you and wishes you well.
What's my moral of post? ANIME/MANGA ARE GOOD!!! NOT EVERY ANIME/MANGA ARE BAD, VIOLENT AND HORRIBLE...
*coughs*
yah....I don't know why, I love to write in my blogs nowadays..hehe
