How Do You Think Anime Will Change In 10 Years

Published November 6, 2015 by Shay Taree

So I know that anime is always changing whether it’s the content that’s being seen, the fandom itself changing, or how popular it’s becoming. 
But now I want to know how do you think anime will change in the next 10 years? How I think anime will change is by what is popular and of course what art style has become popular in the world of animation. 

One thing that I hope will change with anime in the next 10 years is that anime will become less obscure and maybe just a little bit more mainstream. 

But how do you think anime will change in the next 10 years and what do you hope will change. Comment down below with your answers and I can’t wait to read them!

The Term Otaku?!

Published November 2, 2015 by Shay Taree

So for today I decided to touch on the topic of the term otaku and how others feel about it. 
For those of you who don’t know otaku means someone who has obsessive interests. But it is mostly used when talking about anime or manga. 

  
I understand that otaku is mostly associated with an negative term but I’ve noticed that the term is changing. Now while it can be negative I’ve seen it used in ways that don’t have a negative connotation and also that many people seem to embrace it. 

I think it’s very similar to how many people look at the term geek or nerd. While before it was a bad thing to be called now many people want to be called that. Plus the clothes that many people feel that geeks or nerds wear is now trendy. 

Also with the research that I’ve done on the term is actually used to refer to anyone that is obsessed with any particular form of entertainment. Not just anime! Which was interesting for me to read considering that’s mostly the context that I’ve heard it used to describe. 

I also feel that everyone has an otaku moment. While it may not be all the time but if you have two people or more who meet and they like the same thing they are going to have an otaku moment. 

I guess overall I don’t mind the term since we all have an otaku moment. Plus considering that the term is being used in a slightly more positive light it doesn’t have the sting that it used to have. 

  
So what do you think of the term otaku? Do you think the term has changed? Also do you think everyone has an otaku moment? Comment down below and let me know!

Attack On Titan Part 2 Live Action Review!

Published October 28, 2015 by Shay Taree

Alright so just like I promised I went and watched part 2 of the Attack On Titan Live Action movie. Check out my YouTube video with my review also here:

But let’s get on with the review!

So let me just say that the whomever decided on the route they decided to take in this movie definitely fell off a cliff at some point. That is because they decided to make up their own ending which is perfectly fine but what they decided to come up with just did not make sense and completely took away from the original story line. 

  
There were too many moments that didn’t make sense. Plus like I mentioned before they tried to put wayyyy to much romance into the live action.

The other thing that bothered me was the sub characters in the show since some were likable but many of them were just kind of mean or lame. I also could tell which ones were from the actual anime or were just made up for the live action. Also to top it off there is no Annie in this live action which totally sucks because I was waiting on see Annie and the female Titan. 

  
Overall it just got really weird to watch with the different elements that were thrown in. To me they could have followed the story line better and even if they did come up with their own ending it definitely could have been better. So that is my review of the Attack On Titan live action part 2. 

Comment down below on what you thought of part 2 of this movie of you saw it. If you didn’t see it then let me know of you will or why you won’t. I can’t wait to ready your comments.

What Anime’s Would You Show Your Kids?

Published October 26, 2015 by Shay Taree

So for those of you have kids or even though who don’t I was wondering what anime you would show your kids to introduce them to anime?
Now I got the idea for this topic because I saw the same topic in the MAL forums and it got me to thinking. 

I think that when I have kids I would probably show them the anime’s that I liked as a kid that got me interested in anime. So that would be anime’s like Sailor Moon, 

  
Dragon Ball Z, 

  
& also possibly Yu Yu Hakusho.

  
But what about everyone else? What anime would show your kids if or when you have them? Comment down below your answers I can’t wait to read them.

Death Note Live Action Lead Casted….Possibly.

Published October 23, 2015 by Shay Taree

So as many of you may know or may not know Warner Bros in the United States has been planning to do a live action of the hit anime series Death Note. 

Well I was reading through my news feed and realized that they have actually just casted the lead for the live action. They decided to cast Nat Wolff 

  
who was a lead character in A Fault In Our Stars and also the movie Paper Towns. From what I read they were in the final negotiations. 

Now I don’t know how I feel about this. I mean I think he’s a great actor but I wonder how his take on Light Yagami 

  
is going to be. I think it will be interesting to see. 

Now I know that live action anime’s have a bad reputations but will anyone see this live action? I’m still on the fence but what about everyone else. Comment down below on what you think.

The Appeal of Sci-Fi Anime!

Published October 19, 2015 by Shay Taree

So I’ve definitely seen my fair share of Sci-Fi anime but I’ve always wondered why people gravitate towards this genre of shows.
For me the main reason why I sometimes gravitate towards Sci-Fi anime shows is because of the plot involved and sometimes the futuristic aspect of these shows.

The two that I can definitely think about are Psycho Pass and Blue Gender. Both took place in a futuristic time period and both had a circumstance that really made you think. 

Psycho Pass had the aspect of using the different parts of someone’s personality to determine if they are capable of committing a crime. This was interesting to see unfold since I as the viewer thought about what if something like this did happen? What is this was possible in the future? It was something both amazing but terrifying to think about. 

  
Now Blue Gender had a different thing going for it where there were Aliens that had taken over Earth but there are people who had been frozen due to a disease that they had. The main character in the show was ultimately an asset to helping them beat the Aliens. But it was still something that made you think that maybe something that made someone different will ultimately be our only way of being able to survive. 

  
Sci-Fi anime’s have a way of pulling the viewer into worlds that are both terrifying but also interesting to see. Plus at least for me it’s a great way to escape reality and focus on something else for a while. 

But if you watch Sci-Fi anime why do you watch it? What makes it appeal to you? If you don’t watch Sci-Fi anime then I say give at least one a try. Now if you have and didn’t like it also tell me why you didn’t. I would love to know! Can’t wait to read your comments. 

Also check out my countdown for my top 10 personally recommended anime! It’s a collab I did with Legendary Agwang on his top 10 channel!

Is Being A Nerd/Geek Now Trendy

Published October 12, 2015 by Shay Taree

Now some people may get mad since I’m using the term nerd or geek but hey I don’t mind the term and I definitely embrace my nerd or geek side.

But the reason why I thought of this topic is because I saw the coverage of New York Comic Con on TV and it got me thinking that things have now changed with how geeky or nerdy things are viewed.

  
Yeah there are some things that could change in this realm like anime being more mainstream but I feel like everyone is try to be nerdy or geeky. I guess I notice it with the fashions that are now out and also with the glasses that are now in trend.

  
I kind of think it’s awesome that people are embracing things that are geeky or nerdy but I still find it strange that all of sudden it’s kind of in trend to be nerdy. 

But what do you guys think of this or have you noticed that being geeky or nerdy is now a trend. Comment down below with what you think. I can’t wait to read you comments.
