Love Is In The Air.

Hey everyone! I have just returned from the Metropolitan Museum of Art with my friend. We loved the Japanese exhibit. It's our new favorite exhibit. We both agreed it is a beautiful, relaxing and romantic place. That made me think: LOVE is a big part of the anime world.
Time for some pictures!















Love. Some say it is the most disgusting thing on earth. Some think it's sweeter than two unicorns sharing a strawberry milkshake on a rainbow made out of flowers. Some don't know what it feels like, or even what it is. If you and I were anime characters, I'm pretty sure we would feel good about love.


I don't remember watching an anime show or movie or reading an anime comic book without at least a 25% sign of love. The kind of love we're discussing is much more than friendship, though friendship is equally powerful. Replay all those movies and reread all those books in your head and think, Is there LOVE in this?
The answer should be yes and if it is not, I assume you are not reading the correct books or watching the correct movies. The big question is, why does love make its way into every place that there is anime?
The answer is simple. No more very long chain of endless possibilities, each possibility waiting for people to use their common sense and decide whether the possibility is a real possibility, the possibilities madly impatient. This time, the answer is very, very easy to figure out: There must be love.Look around you. Love is everywhere, especially where you'd least expect it. You might be thinking, No, not where I am. But if you are in school, is your teacher married? And if you are home, I'm pretty sure your parents are in love. (Unless they are divorced.) And if you are anywhere, and have a boyfriend or girlfriend, is that love? Yes, I think so. Nothing can't have love in it. This includes anime.Oh, yes. Especially anime.

Strange colors. What do they mean?

Hey! It's me again. I am wearing a colorful shirt today, and I was just thinking of how people from the anime world have strange hair colors that we wouldn't normally have, or be born with for that matter.
Let's look at some pictures:

This girl has blue hair. How often do you see a girl with blue hair? My guess is not very much. I am just wondering, Why do anime artists do this? Maybe they would like to make their artwork interesting, fascinating, exquisite. Lemme tell you, anime IS interesting. Would it be interesting without the weird hair colors and styles? . . .I don't think so. If anime wants to stand out, it will have to be a little strange.
Or maybe the colors symbolize something. The girl in the photo above has blue hair. What could the color blue stand for? Hmm. Water. In reality water is clear, but blue is the color that symbolizes water. Maybe this girl is magical, and has the power of water. Or freedom. Blue is the color of the sky on a beautiful day, and if I close my eyes I can see a butterfly flying through that sky. Butterflies symbolize freedom, so maybe the color blue does too. Another long chain of endless possibilities. If you have an idea of what blue symbolizes, leave a comment.
I'm still hoping you will become a follower. :)

First Official Post

Hey guys! This is the first official post. I hope you've studied or if you haven't, I hope you are already an anime expert because today, we will start discussing anime.
Take a look at this picture.




















This is a very cute picture, I agree. But note the girls' reactions. The one on the left seems to be smiling a little bit, and the one on the right is obviously very cheerful. But the girl in the middle does not seem to be smiling nor cheerful. She is open-mouthed, shocked, maybe even a little scared. And her cheeks are quite pink. Well, all of them have pink cheeks, but this particular girl doesn't seem to have a natural blush (like me. Yes, I do have a natural blush.). In fact, she seems to be blushING. Maybe she is embarrassed, possibly that her picture is being taken. Maybe she thinks she doesn't look good enough. Or maybe she was frightened by the flash. The possibilities are endless.
If you have an idea of what the story to this picture might be, leave a comment telling me what you think. I would also like to remind you to become a follower because that is when I will start posting more complicated things. This blog might seem uninteresting at first, but once people start following I will start posting more often and more complicatedly. Please, because if you follow, I will know that people enjoy my blog and would like to see more of it, so I'll start posting more :) Please, it would make me very happy!
