Sorry ya, kalo pake bahasa indo susah dijelasinnya
The world is short on heroes.
And that's why Anime is so important if we are ever to survive
aliens, monsters, tentacle-demons, and sword-wielding assholes
in the future. Not only is Anime an entertainment medium, but
it is a very positive influence on today's youth! I dare say that
public schooling would be much better if they taught Anime as
a course subject. Why? Glad you asked!
Everything you need to live a true, just and wonderful life is
taught in Anime. For example:
Respect life. (zombies and ghosts are a pain in the ass to kill)
Eat right. (otherwise you turn green and throw up)
Respect your elders. (they will almost always know some martial
art of magic that will come in handy later on)
Don't play with guns. (Swords always win)
Experience life! (Gradeschool students often go on quests that
span half the globe...if not galaxy)
Nice Guys don't finish last. (he will usually end up with 4 or
more females chasing after him, and will often walk into the bathroom
when he's having a shower, or give him generous panty-shots)
Show proper respect to Deities. (or they'll send giant monsters
after you that will require giant purple robots to stop their
rampage)
Enjoy the Arts! (Evil can always be defeated by someone who sings
or draws)
Don't fear or hate things that are strange to you. (chances are
they have special powers to help you)
And, most importantly: Love. (Love can single-handedly defeat
armadas of star-ships, a thousand evil robots, gigantic dark demigods,
and ninjas of several varieties)
Of course, these are just some of the many important lessons
you learn from being a practitioner of the Anime-Arts. Above all,
however, Anime instils a sense of hope and joy in our generation
that grew up fearing everything, and with very little to look
forward to besides a 9-to-5 job in a cubical somewhere. It has
inspired so many of us to become writers and artists...travelers
and martial-artists...and even the occasional superhero.
In a world where heroes are few and far between...and often overlooked...Anime
brings them into the limelight. Shows the world the true Forces
of Good, and how we can each fight Evil in our own way.
And so, as the year 2000 ends this month, I can see no better
tribute to the last millennium than to thank a few of the heroes
in Anime that have made my life a better one...and perhaps helped
me become a bit better person.
