Week 9: Cyberpunk

My experience with the Cyberpunk genre is Psycho-Pass and Neon Genesis Evangelion. This genre opens up a whole other world of what we would predict the future would be like such as technology and mixed cultural traits. It is almost like we merge with technology and even builds our identity. The question that every character goes through is what makes them human or who are we as humans. And the show reminds you that in reality. In the show, Psycho-Pass, each person has their own psychological data and it's measured how healthy our mental state is. But who has the right to judge and who is the technology that gives us who is right or wrong? Emotions are always challenged and that is common in the Cyberpunk genre.

Week 13: Oishinbo

Oishinbo generally is about cultural foods and what is in them that makes it good and how they are made. It is quite relaxing to read as it is not story-heavy but instead it tells you the many facts and appreciation of foods from other cultures. It makes the story feel more realistic. I also like how it is not exaggerated with characteristics like a lot of other shows do such as Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma. It is a nice break to read about the cultural aspects and the value we have in our foods today.

Week 6: Sailor Moon and Pretty Cure

When I was a kid, my sisters used to love Sailor Moon and watched it almost every day, and I would just peek what the show is. I noticed how girly it looked but entertaining to watch. And we asked the question if Shojo manga is targeted for young female teens. I personally believe people are allowed to watch anything they want without being judged and that includes Shojo. I remember I went back to rewatch a few episodes of Sailor Moon and their whole moral and symbol is love. And guys can enjoy it as well when they can relate to it. Recently, I watched another Shojo is called Pretty Cure. I may not relate what they do nor understand the meaning but it was emotional and just fun to watch. In addition, the art style and animation are what got me hooked in the show. For me, I would watch any Shojo when it has exaggerated magical girls.
