What are or what is "manga" and what is "anime"?(and related topics)

Image
MANGA Developed in Japan in the late 19th century, manga is an art form which exist as graphic novels as well as digital comics.They are written in Japanese and illustrated by artists who either themselves are the story writers or pair up with story writers to write and illustrate manga. Manga are art and illustration heavy comic books which are a medium popular globally and as a fact 35% of French comic books are taken up by manga. As for the reasons why manga is so popular, it is presented below: 1) The medium allows an extreme amount of freedom in terms of content being produced thus attracts a lot of people from the creative industry and gives content to every kind of individual that you can possibly find.The only down factor faced by the illustrators and writers is that only popular content sells and that depending upon the book sales they get paid respectively. 2)The medium is very attractive to artists who are otherwise only given time to shine either by exhibitions...

Peer Review

Hey everyone, I want share and reflect on my blog based on my classmate's evaluation of it as well as my review of her blog. REVIEW ON MY BLOG She mentioned that my manga blogs must be clearer, user-friendly and that I should address the topic as a whole to make my readers comfortable as well as, better appreciate my blogs. On the contrary, she mentioned that my blogs have a lot of research behind them and that I should keep that up, and I admit I sometimes have a lot or too less at hand when it comes to research which varies according to the topic at hand.( I plan on doing a blog based on the topic of" Manga and anime " in a few weeks, so look forward to it In terms of magazine content, she mentioned since my target audience are children my content should be in the best of legible formats, to which I replied that my font as well as my layout are to an extent very reader friendly, with my font being almost too reader friendly. When she asked about my genre I said...

Ford v Ferrari film review

The movie was a pleasant experience for those who love racing. It felt like the individual characters' vision came alive, thus the directing was good. The filming, sound and editorial departments have done a sincere job, and this painted before you as you see the movie. I was fascinated with the peculiar character behavior of Ken Miles. An instance of this is when he hits the car with a hammer to make the height requirements pointed out by the evaluator. Perhaps it's just me, but I tend to like people who do not sugar coat their words, or do things only because the society wants it and are professional, straight-forward and hardworking in their vision. This movie as a whole emphasized the courage and fear that racers carry with them while driving. And finally, I want to say that Ken Mile's son was a really well portrayed character as he did not waver and he understood his position and did not overreact and took it well in his hand!

Expectations for the Ford v.Ferrari movie

Hello everyone, today I am here to speak to about the movie I am going to watch tomorrow Ford v.Ferrari(if you have not guessed from the title !) I am a huge fan of technology and anything to do with electronics,engines and construction. - This my first expectation from this movie is to show to detail construction process and build up of the engines of  the cars and the framework.etc -I want the characters to feel real and not just have complete control of the car and act like kike they were born with the car.(i.e I want the drivers and constructors to have a deep understanding with the car and genuinely care about the car.) -I want them to emphasize how much work the constructors of the car put, to making the car safe and compete with the other! -I do not want the story to heavily rely on the emotional factor of family if there is any(as a lot of movies tend to have them and use them when they have weak story lines) Those are my expectations, let's hope I enjoy the mov...

Magazine cover analysis 1

Image
Let's start right away, the pasta is of course the main image which is a flat photograph with barely any editing. The next thing that we notice the peach/pink background behind the main text covering a little less than half of the page. The text itself brings the reader to a normal and comfortable playing field rather than classy words which make people who are easy to fool and making something which is ordinary or less into something profitable. But the latter half the smart people some will directly avoid them or indirectly refuse these magazines or some of them in elder or knowledgeable might enlighten the rest. BENEFITS: -By establishing how many copies sold the magazine can gain a lot of attractions, so that's a good move! -Since the magazine has been approved of / published by BBC books people can trust it's contents and sometimes it will filter most of the people who would otherwise write bad about the magazine. Since there is less criticism people will be m...

COVER PAGE ANALYSIS  The magazine I am doing this time is called " CRUISING WORLD ". The cover consists of 4 elements in terms of the picture the sailing ship with people on board, the water and the sky with the clouds. What we can see is a very simple portrayal of the idea of cruising the world, and not lavish portrayal of a huge cruise ship with families enjoying the cruise. This topic might be a controversy among people! Do cruising ships take away the thrill of travel and provide too much luxury or comfort which makes the adventure the same as living in your nearby hotel ?Many people have thought about this and still finally came to the conclusion that safety will not be assured if the ship is not large enough and with no radars and sonars.Then the next best thing is to have less comfort, but this cannot be achieved as if the people are not doing anything they are bored and if they are the ones who are cooking and doing the chores then some will complain that this wi...

COVER PAGE ANALYSIS Today the magazine I am analyzing is "NEW SCIENTIST". The cover page of this magazine consists of a black background with a picture of the earth being struck by an arrow.I feel this is to represent the factors harming the earth, which fits with the theme " WHAT NEXT FOR HUMANITY 'S NEXT FLAWED MASTER PIECE ? ". The cover is also has information on the articles available in the magazine. In terms of color scheme as I mentioned earlier  that the background color is black, and the color of the outline of the Earth and  the continents on the Earth is gold in color. As for the text the font color is gold for headings and white for sub-headings. On the top left corner of the cover, the magazine name is typed in white   color bold letters under which, it reads " WEEKLY   26 October 2019  ".   The special issue of the magazine is " THE INTERNET AT 50   WHAT NEXT FOR HUMANITY 'S NEXT FLAWED MASTER PIECE ? ' " What ...
