"Here I am once again." Will anyone notice?

So here is the next chapter. I seriously need someone to slap my big time.

I'm supposed to be studying, and getting ready for tomorrow. A project I, with another of my classmates need to present.

It's not a, "here's our research paper", no none of that. We have to teach the lessen for Tuesday.

So nerve wrecking!!!! But at leasr I'm not alone with it. And I'm so glad I was paired up with him.

He knows spanish. The only two Spanish speaking people in class.... I think.

Me, was raised learning Spanish then learned English at the age of four to go to school. Even though in a different place, I'm a girl who wants to stay true to her roots and learn everything.

And he, learned Spanish for his mission. Which I'm so thankful for, because some of the books I want him to look at are in Spanish.

Anyways, here is it and hope you like it.

Enjoy.

___________________________________________

We've all been seriously influenced by anime, and manga and the video games based off them(?). Well maybe not all.

Like.... speaking Japanese even though you know hardly anything.

I do that a lot. But I will do my best to learn Japanese later. Because I plan to go to Japan as part of my class.

I remember the first time I did that, I was at the store with my mom.

My mom was ahead of me in the soap area. And I was trying to get her attention. But I guess she didn't hear me so I called for her in a different language.

"Okaa-san!"

She turned around, "what".

After that she sometimes answered tl okaa-san. She said that she knew that it most likely meant mom.

And one other time, I found a really cute backpack filled with candy where all the pocky is at the store.

Once I saw it my words were, "Totemo Kawaii".

I think totemo means really, right?

And other words too. I don't mean to do it, it just comes out.

And of course aside from trying to speak Japanese. We at some point have tried to do things like in the anime.

Have you?

I remember when I was younger, and Naruto was still in it's beginning stages, I can't remember if Shippuden had started up or not.

But I tried their run. You know running with the hands behind them.

Yeah.... I nearly fell. And after that, I never did it again.

I've also tried to cook like in Shokugeki no Souma. I like cooking, and that's what I hope to graduate with as my major, culinary.

So I've tried to chop the ingredients as fast as them, yep, didn't really work out.

For some reason with onions I really can't chop as fast as I want. And I really need to chop fast, because I ens up crying with onions. Like I can't see from the tears, and the burning.

What have you tried to do?

And of course maybe some of you, or you know someone, who has gone to the extreme of being just like them. And change in everything in their life to be like them?

I remember I had heard of a guy that took it to the extreme.  He actually went and married a character from his favorite game or anime.  Can't remember what it was.

I was in shock.  Why?

I personally think they should get some help, that is if it's affecting other people.  Not like the, "I don't want to be around you."  "It's disgusting" people.  But like if it's harming another person.

But whatever floats your boat I guess????

My dear readers, please tell me you can tell the difference between reality and fiction.

It's okay to have your own dreams, wishes and fantasy of them.  Not saying that it's bad.

One sad thing is that from many bad things that happen, some people are putting the blame on anime.

Sure there are some pretty gory anime. Horror, and so on.

But there are also those horror movies and video games that some people want to play out in real life.

But there could be people that want to play out the anime.

Like they're so intrigued by it that they will actually bring fiction to this world by doing it.

So I end up getting upset at those people who say that all anime is bad and evil. When it isn't. Because there are some really cute ones and rated for people who like action but not the gore and horror.

So what's your, "influenced by anime" moment.

______________________________________________

Sorry for bringing up some unpleasant things at the end. But it's true what I put in the end. From what I heard lately, there was a murderer in Japan just arrested, and anime was put to blame for his actions.

Don't know if it's true of that happening. But there are a lot of people who say that anime is a bad influence for people.

Anyways once again, I'm sorry.

So that's it for now. Hope you enjoyed it.
