To be honest, it makes me laugh how much people can get addicted to things. Some of my ridiculous addictions? Manga and anime. Not that I watch anime anymore, but come on, lets face it. I am still in love with anime.
How did this crazy addiction start, or came to be?
I blame it all on my cousin. Haha, I was in year seven when he first showed me and my siblings our first subbed (because I don’t really count the ones on TV. I.e Pokemon, Digimon…) anime. And guess what it was? ‘Onegai Teacher’ or ‘Please Teacher’. Haha, what a way to start of my addiction.
I remember when my cousin showed us Ichigo 100% and his friend walks in and gave a horrified look at the computer screen and then to Kuya and said, ‘Kerbs! What are you showing these kids?!’
I remember feeling my face burn when he replied: ‘They’re the ones watching it, not me.’
But yeah… I didn’t find out about manga probably a year later. And oh my God, what that addiction was. I still do read manga on my spare time. (Maybe I’ll post up my list of recommendations later) I fell in love with it straight away. The details, the characters, the storylines! It just amazed me!
I remember last year in one of my tutorials when we were on the topic of how manga and American comics were different. I remember feeling indignation when they started to say that manga didn’t have enough detail, or the backgrounds were scarce and it was a quick read. I wanted to speak up and say ‘That’s absolutely wrong! The plots are unique! Manga caters for all ages and genres…’ and so on. Bu~t I was too shy to speak up.
Anyway, I think that’s all I’ll say on that topic for now.
