I n every authors has own different style, has own creativity and has own way of expressing ideas and thoughts to the viewers but all authors has one in common to give some moral values to the viewers so, that viewers are not having fun while watching it but also have a moral lesson could get and one of the popular cartoon this time was the SpongeBob. Why SpongeBob? Because of its broad appeal to the viewers and because SpongeBob is designed to appeal to adults as well as children, due to the comic nature of situations encountered in underwater life. Situations, references, and language are used that may not be understood by the show's younger viewers (from Wikipedia). That’s why picked SpongeBob at the first place. SpongeBob could be my best example that you can relate what’s happening to real life. Because it has a deep thoughts and meaning that are based to human activities and characters. Like its characters, people are like that we have a different attitudes and manners that SpongeBob characters had. This is just an introduction of what I will do. As I take further, I will make reviews and critics to each SpongeBob’s episode that I will be relate and compare it to our real life. Join me, to seek what values we could get from watching SpongeBob?
Why read Half and Half? (One shot manga)
There are many mangas out there, and you might not know what's good or not. It's synopsis might provide a good summary but it's not good to judge a manga by its synopsis for most of the best stories out there cannot be summarized by just a few words. But there is this one manga that has caught my heart and its story still remain vivid in my memory. This manga is none other than Half and half by Seo Kouji. So why read this manga? First of all this is a one shot manga with only one chapter and fourty pages so reading it wont even take 10 minutes. And even with a very short story it still has a nice plot and a very complete and meaningful thought. Also, it is a very compelling love story with a very nice twist that almost made me cry after reading. And finally, the characters are very well developed and you can easily put yourself in their shoes and think what would you do if what they're experiencing were to happen to you.
The story is about two people, Shin-ichi Nakgawa and Yuuki Sanada, who are complete strangers and live differently. Then one day, an accident changed their lives and made them very close to one another - literally. They begin living together and enjoy each others company. Could love blossom for these two people who share everything from their emotions and stimulations? Could they be happy knowing that everything will end after a week?
Just read the manga to find out.
