Fact About Cartoons

Happy Chinese New Year, I would like to take this chance to thank all those for viewing this blog. I have just read some very interesting topics on cartoons and would like to share some with everyone^^ Do you know, kids at the age of 3 to 6 is actually known as the golden age and providing knowledge to them now is very useful since they can absorb the informations almost immediately. But, sad to say, children this small can't quite understand what the parents try to pass to them even if the parents tried half dead. By this time, you can let them see some cartoons that is education based. According to research , more than 60% of the children in the world pick up their foundation in language and study interest from cartoons. Why, this is because cartoons characters can do some silly stuff which cannot be done by human beings, therefore the child find it interesting and will pick up the things spoken by them with time. The downside of this is the child also pick up the bad things from the cartoons. According to another research on why a lot of people is obsesses of cartoon even in their old age is because in cartoons, they can find things which is beyond their reach but yet they still want it because their urge for it haven't subsided. Besides that, cartoons can emotionally relax a people's mind because some cartoons like the classics, Anastasia, Hercules etc have wonderful musics. Cartoons can also imply moral values to kids especially those who like to watch cartoon frequently. Well, thats all for now. Cheers^^

Anastasia-Story of Magic and Recovery

Anastasia is a quite old cartoon, production of 20th Century Fox but it is a very good classic base on the true story of the last princess of Russia, Anastasia Nikolaevna. This story begins with the introduction of the grand atmosphere of the Romanov family. During that party, everyone is said to be "shining brightly" by the Empress of Russia but none "shone" brighter than her granddaughter, Anastasia. Everyone was having their hell of a time but nothing good ever last. The happy atmosphere was bring to a halt when the wicked monk, Rasputin emerges before the Romanov to seek revenge for banishing him. Along with him, he brought a weird cylinder which marks the trade of Rasputin with the devil. He eventually sold his soul so that he can have his revenge. He bestowed a curse on the Romanov's saying that all of them will die overnight. As the old saying goes "no evil ever prevails", his curse was not able to be completed due to the escape of Anastasia and the Empress with the help of the kitchen boy, Dimitri but Anastasia dropped her music box when escaping through the wall. When boarding the escape train, Anastasia tripped and fell, knocking her head in the process and was unable to join her grandmother in Paris. Ten years later, after the revolution of Russia, everybody is living through scraps but the rumors of the survival of Anastasia never fades. Dimitri, now a handsome young man along with his friend, Vlad went on a quest to seek out a good duplicate of Anastasia. On the other hand, a beautiful damsel who was raised in the orphanage and have completely no idea of her past, Anya set out on her own journey to seek the truth. Along the way, she met a dog, Pooka which brings her to Saint Petersburg where she stumbles among the two gentlemen. At first sight, Dimitri knew that Anya would play the perfect role of the duplicate Anastasia because according to him, Anya possesses the Romanov's blue eyes. Together, they went on a journey to seek their own fate but unknown to them, the story unwraps in a rather special way. I highly recommend this cartoon to everyone since it is a good combination of fantasy, love, courage, brain and etc. Hope you enjoy it too^^

Tsubasa Chronicles unveil around Syaoran, an archaeologist returning home from the dig spot. Home, he was greeted by the princess of Clow country, Sakura. The story rise into its climax when Syaoran discovers Sakura in the digging spot although she should be in the palace. Suddenly, he saw Sakura flying into the air and fragments of feathers sprouting out of her back. He jumped and seized her from merging with the wall but the fragments of feathers dispersed from her back, flying into the air. Desperate, Syaoran seek help from the priest in his country. The priest eventually reveal the awful truth that those "feathers" actually make up the princesses heart, she would die if he failed to recover all those fragments. He was then sent to the witch of dimensions where he met up with Kurogane who was finding a path back to his place and Fye, a magician trying to escape from his country. Accompanying them is Mokona, a small round, fluffy thing that can open a portal to travel through time. Together, they set out on a journey to accomplish all of their goals along with recovering the fragments of princess Sakura. But what they don't know is that all of their moves are observed closely by a wicked villain and his sidekick. Throughout the journey, they met up with a lot of friends and familiar faces. Although they met up with a lot of challenges, they still stand up and continue on their quest. The first season is very nice but the second season tends to be a bit boring. I highly recommend this anime to people who enjoys watching Cardcaptor Sakura.

After graduation, he finally become a team with his in-love girl, Sakura and his arch enemy, Sasuke. They carried out a lot of mission and finally entered the Chunin exam. Unfortunately, Sasuke was given the five-pronged seal by Orochimaru and later abandon Konoha to search for greater power to defeat his brother, Uchiha Itachi. Desperate, Naruto and a team was ordered by the 4th Hokage, Tsunade to retrieve Sasuke.

Naruto is continued in Naruto:Shipuuden Legend where all the characters have grown up and we are introduced to the group which Uchiha Itachi joined, formerly known as Akatsuki. The first Akatsuki member they fought was Deidara and Sasori to obtain Gaara's body back. They were able to kill Sasori but Deidara escaped. Next, they fought with Orochimaru where Naruto transformed into the four tail fox form, virtually out of control but was finally tamed. They founded Orochimaru's lair and the heart-jerking reunion between Sasuke and Naruto was seen. Sasuke mastered his Chidori into multiple form and was way too powerful for Naruto to handle. He even killed Orochimaru after he found that Orochimaru can serve him no longer. Sasuke was able to single handedly end Deidara. Naruto was able to defeat Hidan and Kakuzu a.k.a The Immortals of Akatsuki. Not long after that, Jiraiya was killed by Pein, leader of the Akatsuki and almost all of the demon beast were able to be captured by the Akatsuki. Sasuke in the end finally killed his brother but through what means, you just have to wait to see it. The rest is for you to unveil. Enjoy^^

Elfen Lied-The True Story of the world we live in


Hello, just created this blog......just for fun, of course.^^ My blog is mainly about anime and I will try my best to answer all your questions on anime with the help from some of my friends...^^ Elfen Lied is the story of a diclonius named Lucy who escaped from a solitary and was met up with Kouta and his cousin, Yuka. The life of the trio began but a very shocking story has been installed for Kouta and Lucy. Upon meeting, Lucy seems to lost all her memories and was later named by Kouta Nyuu. Later, they encounter another diclonius, number 7 a.k.a Nana. The fight between Nana and Lucy was nice but Nana lost in the end. Then, the director general asked the chief editor, Kurama to dispose of Nana but Kurama can't do it because Nana resembles her own daughter which he failed to protect. After that, we are take into view of Kouta's school where he brings Nyuu along but Nyuu was captured by the director's general son. He tried to rape Nyuu but was killed instead by Lucy who have awaken. We are later revealed to Lucy's past after she caught a fever due to Nana's action. Outraged, the director general asked the secretary to use Mariko to kill Nana and retrieve Lucy. Nana was able to stay back at Maple Inn after apologizing to Lucy's other self,Nyuu for the misunderstanding. Nana sensed the danger(Mariko) and head off to save her new found family. The rest is up to you to see or else it won't be exciting anymore. I highly recommend it putting aside the nudity and violence, it is a top notch anime. There is altogether 13 episodes plus an OVA. Here are some pictures on the anime.
