I have been playing I Saw Her Standing There But She was a Zombie and its pretty easy to say that I got addicted. It reminds me of like classic video games like pac-man or snake. They are simple characters which works for the purpose of the game. The purpose of the game is to get the girl zombie into the cage and not get eaten by the other zombies or her along the way. I like that you have unlimited amount of lives because that would have been the biggest pain to start over every I died or only have three lives. Its simple and good to give your mind a break, but also challenging I'm currently stuck on a level that I haven't been able to beat. Its just a fun mindless game that is meant for relaxing or goofing off. 

I think it important to be aware of anime/manga culture and style. I wasn't really big fan of the anime we watched in class. I do understand the why its important because I remember growing up with shows like Sailor Moon, and Pokemon. It was interesting looking at those different shows last class because a few of them were clearly not meant for children. I find it quite interesting why some anime is automatically assumed for kids in the states and I think that is something that needs to be reconsidered. Like any other art form I think people should learn about anime, if the artist finds it interesting. It is important for artist to learn and study all different forms of art, I feel like with anime if you have seem one you basically have seen them all. I think they are predictable and a little cheesy. I recently rewatched some Sailor Moon episodes, which was one of my favorite TV shows when I was younger, but after watching a few episodes here and there I found her character annoying and whiny and from the ones we watched in class they at least had one character like that. I think one class was enough to show people what anime and manga whats it all about because it wasn't something I really thought about in a while. I think by having that class it aloud people to watch something and discuss something they normally wouldn't talk about.

Before this week I hadn't really read much comics. When I was in middle school I used to read some of the Archie comics or the comics in the sunday paper. They were always something asa I viewed as entertaining and funny. I haven't really read much comics although throughout the years because of the movies that have come out I have grown to love superheroes. Lately trying to figure out what I'd like to do with my art I have been looking more and more at comic books and different styles and artists. I read  Ducks, by Kate Beaton and I thought the style was really simple but cute and obviously its in process but I found it really interesting and looking forward to seeing the outcome of the story. The other comic I read during break was a little bit of She-Hulk I liked were it was going and I would like to continue reading more of it outside of class. I like how they did the twist on Hulk as a character, she is smart, brave and isn't afraid to say whats on her mind. Having her have the qualities is showing that our society is growing and evolving and allowing girls to save the day is big thing. I believe She-Hulk is a step in the right direction for woman empowerment. Besides all of that the artwork is beautiful. I admire the limited color in each frame its effective and readable instantly.

Its easy to say that Disney was the main reason why I started to admire film. Its because of Disney I learned and started to appreciate art. Growing I went to Disneyland often as well as watching all the Disney classics. The first film I ever saw in a movie theater was The Little Mermaid, it quickly became one of my favorites. Ariel was a princess and a character that I related to and admired at a young age. I was even her for Halloween once or twice. As much as I love and adore Ariel, she is very similar to other Disney princesses. I believe there is only one Disney princess movie that doesn't have singing it in would be Disney/Pixar's Brave. The classics (Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella) all have to do with the prince and their journey to find him or find love. In these classics as well as The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, and even a more modern one Tangled. They are all are save by the prince. There are a select few that have branched away from the stereotypical fairytale like Mulan, Frozen, and once again Brave. Yes, most of those movies have a common theme, because they are so similar and a lot of the princess look a like, such as big eyes, small nose, big hair and unnatural body proportion it gives girls at a young age the wrong idea on how woman are supposed to look. There isn't much of a difference between Tangled's princess Rapunzel and Frozen's princesses Anna and Elsa. All three of them have the same "make up" and build up. Of course there are  some negatives to these movies, but there are also so positives. I believe the positives out way the negatives these movies are just to entertain, but to empire us to view the world differently. For example, something I learned from Ariel is to follow your heart, and be ready for the consequences that may follow after your actions. There all all these hidden life messages through Disney's movies why might just have to look hard to find out the lesion is really.
