Animes
I wonder how I would look at animes when I became an adult.
Would I still think of them as a wonderful and touching piece of artwork ever produced or a childish thing that kids watches?
To me, animes aren't just childish or lame or anything along that line.
It's hard to put into words what animes meant to me.
After all, it accompanied me when I grow.
I still remember when I was young, animes were just cartoons which I enjoyed watching. Nothing more.
I wasn't interested in animes at all in my primary school years.
However, there was this period of time where Vampire Knight was like the hottest topic in the class. All my friends were talking about it.
When i went over to my friend's house one day, she suggested that I watch a few episodes.
That begun my whole anime & manga journey.
Even since then, animes and manga were my life, because they had a huge impact on me.
Animes are not just cartoons to be enjoyed anymore. They are lessons. Something which cannot be found in textbooks.
They teach you the importance of friendship, love and most importantly, family.
They teach you to be strong and to stand up when you fall. To be strong and fulfill your dreams, no matter how impossible it may seem.
I wonder if these feelings would continue to follow me throughout my life.
If I were to have my own children in the future, what would my reaction be if I see them watching animes?
Happy? Because I use to like it to!
Angry? Because they are watching animes instead of studying?
Sad? Because I hardly have time to watch animes anymore.
Or...
Nothing. Because I've forgotten how I use to feel when I watch animes?
