Is it possible? Definitely not! It's scientifically impossible!
Do I try anyway? Isn't science also based on experimentation? Okay.
"El-Daheeh will die in one minute! " Is it possible? I am safe!
There is nothing. Death Note? What a joke!
It's nothing! What's happening outside the window? I am not afraid of you, you titan!
Come and face me man to man! You took the ceiling off my room, and I will not pay the landlord for this ceiling! It's time for battle, to taste the wrath of Daheeh!
Hello my friend viewers, welcome to a new episode of El-Daheeh! - "Hey, Abo Hmeed, Konnichiwa! " - Nani!
- "Abo Hmeed, I only said Konnichiwa! " - Nani! On 11th November 2022, my friend, at 7 in the evening Japan time, at the intersection of Shibuya in Tokyo, we see a huge crowd caused by many people and cars standing still, everyone is frozen and focused on one thing.
The display screens, which show a single event, a great event, an extraordinary event, my friend! Finally after waiting more than 25 years, Ash Ketchum, the little boy who started his journey with us at the age of 10, and has always dreamed of being the best among everyone, - won the world championship! - "In what category, Abo Hmeed?
in shot-put? Or boxing? Or could it be pole vaulting?
" No, my friend, he won it in something you cannot imagine, Pokémon. The busiest intersection in Tokyo was filled with people and their cars, everyone stopped, because Pikachu won. This, my friend, was not a passing event, Pokémon was not an ordinary thing.
According to a statistic that came out in 2021, it is the largest entertainment brand in the world valued at over 100 billion dollars! It's also one of the longest running anime series in history! To understand the story of anime, my friend, we have to shift the gear to R, and make a historical reverse.
Come back, my friend, gently, come back, careful not to crash into the industrial revolution! Come back now, just be careful, there is a renaissance, now park in the Middle Ages! Let's go back, my friend, historically, and understand the story of anime.
On October 21st, 1600 AD, Japan was just coming out of the battle of Sekigahara, or in another saying, the battle of the decision in rule. They spent 3 years organizing things, after that, they locked themselves in, and they lived for more than 250 years in peace and security, During this period, my friend, the society was divided into classes, just like any society, in the lower class, farmers represent 85% of the society, above them, the merchants and workers, And above all of them, the samurai, representing 5% of the population. At the end of the war, for two centuries, the samurai had nothing to do, there was no work, there was no war, they are originally warriors, they are not Brokers, there is no work!
Therefore, they ended up with a lot of money and a lot of free time, and special places began to appear for entertainment for those warriors who do not fight, And the arts started to take their place, and especially, an art called "Ema Kimono". This, my friend, is a kind of drawings rolled in scrolls, that are opened and read from right to left. Each scroll has a story, romance, war, religious, it's all about the algorithms!
"One second, Abo Hmeed! I am trying to familiarize with what you are saying, scrolls that have drawings, stories, tales, isn't this what is known as Manga? " God bless you, my friend, Bravo, that's great!
I thought as soon as I mention "Manga", you will throw cheap puns on my way, And you will take me to Ismailia, and tell me, "Abo Hmeed, it isn't its season, and this story is Awisi, and this plot is Fonsaya! " But, thank God, my friend, you turned out to be much smarter than my expectations! We are now, my friend, talking about the beginnings of Manga.
As I told you, Japan was closed off to itself, except for a small place called Dejima, which is a trading area with the Dutch, the Dutch who brought to Japan at that time new technologies. They brought it with them while coming from their country. One of the most important of these technologies was the magic lantern.
This is basically a source of light, and an image in front of it, and a wall. And voila, you have a film! So you have the drawing, and need to provide a source of light, and walls are already guaranteed.
Now, we have gathered the elements of viewing. "One second, Abo Hmeed! a Japanese drawing moving on the wall, I'm familiar, isn't that what is known as Anime?
" God bless you, my friend, I'm impressed by you! In the mid-19th century, when Japan opened up to other countries, specifically in 1862, the English artist Charles Wirgman arrives, He goes to Japan but he doesn't like the situation there. So he decides at that time to publish a magazine called Japan Punch, and he starts criticizing the country's conditions, like the absence of equality and the way foreigners are treated.
The government was be very upset with the magazine and tried to fight it, but on the contrary, my friend, the public in Japan liked the magazine! They were very influenced by the new drawing style, and this became their main way of drawing Manga. And over time, the government that was upset with the magazine, decided to fight it in a new way, gun against gun, brush against brush!
The government decided to fund Manga and anime artists, so they can convey the messages that they want to convey through art, agenda against the agenda! For example, at the beginning of 1936, there was, my friend, an anime called Mabo's Big Race, where you see Mickey Mouse sitting in the audience cheering for the Japanese competitors. They used Mickey Mouse to cheer for their competitors, the Disney star became an extra in the movie!
But by the end of the year, the treaty that Japan had with America ends. The observation here, my friend, is that Japan was celebrating Mickey Mouse, and celebrating the American cartoon, but what happens after that changes that view of Mickey Mouse. When at the end of the year the treaty that Japan made with America ends, so an anime movie is made, titled 'Mickey Mouse Invades Japan'.
And in it, my friend, the villain is be exactly as the title says, Mickey Mouse in its evil version! This period, my friend, is be known as the period of Japanese nationalism, and as its name suggests, the government had a huge control over anime and funded it even more. Then in 1937, the film Princess Katsura came out, this was the first anime film in colors!
Not only that, they also decided to give anime voice overs, after they relied on the Benshi culture, which was a person standing on stage, who would then narrate and explain to people what's happening on the screen, just like what Islam Fawzy does. "Look, she brought pasta, look, she put it in the water. " So they brought microphones, so that the man doing this would be comfortable.
And as usual in our historical episodes, we must reach a turning point. And the turning point, my friend, in our episode is World War II. "Don't you get tired of it, Abo Hmeed?
" Last time, my friend, please! I will use the Industrial Revolution and the Agricultural Revolution next. After the end of World War II, Japan was defeated and surrendered, as you know, and on the other side, America was happy and pleased!
And this reflected on Japan, and America as well. At that time, Americans were reading comics like Superman and Batman. The Americans, my friend, love the image of the rich handsome hero, who comes to a place with problems, and changes it, who, by the way, it's very easy for anyone to know his true identity, but no one thinks of finding out his true identity!
One of them flies with his face, and the other drives a car that is not in Cristiano Ronaldo's garage, very distinctive, any traffic officer would stop him! The artists in Japan liked this vibe and decided to imitate it, and create their own special copies of superhero stories. But, my friend, they had a small problem, the body shape or body form.
Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent both, if you look at them, you will see them well built and muscular, and their facial features are handsome and sharp. While the Japanese heroes are still emerging from the war, and their physical traits are not like this type of heroes, this is not the model they want to see. They want a hero that looks like them, a hero emerging from the ashes of the war like them, they want to adapt this American state to their taste.
Here, comes the role of the great artist and the father of Japanese Manga, the man of the field 'Osamu Tezuka'. Osamu Tezuka was born in November 1928, and since he was a little Tezuka, he was raised on Disney movies, to the extent, my friend, it was said he watched Bambi, the deer film, around 80 times. His strong influence, my friend, with Disney, is what changed the world of anime forever.
Because although Osamu wanted to create characters similar to the Japanese, he drew them with wide eyes, like the characters Mickey and Donald Duck. And this, my friend, became the main way of drawing anime to this day. But that's not the only reason; there's another more important reason, which is that it was said that wide eyes show emotions better, and this made it easier for the artists to convey the meaning.
And in 1952, Osamu brings us the awaited Manga, the Japanese hero who rose from the ashes of war to save the world, Atom or Astroboy. This became one of the most sold Manga until this day! Its sales reached over 100 million copies.
My friend, these numbers are bigger than something Like Death Note and Spy Family and One Punch Man. Shall I tell you the surprise? Combined!
Astroboy is number 1! And in 1963, Astroboy was transformed from a successful Manga to a successful anime. Not just in Japan, it was the first anime dubbed and exported to America.
Its viewership there exceeded Mickey Mouse Club! But, my friend, a small problem arose, Americans were used to watching polite cartoons, ones that were governed by strict censorship. There were laws governing the content, my friend!
From 1934 to 1968, a concept like death, for example, was not presented in children's cartoons. If there is a scene of a plane explosion, for example, they must include a scene of the pilot as he exits with the parachute before it explodes. Kids should not see things like that!
And this, my friend, is what happened with Astroboy. NBC Company at first rejected the violent episodes, so what happened was that half of the episodes were rejected! And that, my friend, was a sad thing for Osamu Tezuka.
"Back in the day, Abo Hmeed, the kids bullied him badly! " But after that, NBC decided to make adjustments to the episodes and change the scenes that they didn’t like. "Abo Hmeed, could it really be that simple?
Osamu didn't hold onto his desire to show violence to children? " Honestly, my friend, it went fine with Osamu, but it wasn't fine with his competitors. His competitors, Hayao Miyazaki, Isao Takahata, and Toshio Suzuki, or in other words Studio Ghibli, the well-known studio.
In 1984, Miyazaki produced the film 'Nausicaä of The Valley of The Wind', which America took, and the first thing they did was change its title! They changed it into 'Warriors of The Wind'. After that, my dear, they cut 22 minutes and said: "This is not suitable for children.
" That was not editing, that was butchery! And they changed the narrative of the film itself! The Americans felt that it was too philosophical for children, so they needed to fix it!
"Miyazaki": You shortened the duration, and changed the meaning of the film, and you delivered a message I didn't want to deliver, why not make the film yourselves! Respect yourselves already! This annoyed Miyazaki a lot.
And in 1985, he and two of his friends, Takahata and "Suzuki, all founded Studio Ghibli. He decided: "There will be no modifications made to our films in America! " And they make, my friend, great and different films.
Like Howls Moving Castle, and Spirited Away which won an Oscar. No one could have modified anything in those films. And this is because in 1997, the company Miramax wanted to distribute the film Princess Mononoke, and the head of the company, my friend, Harvey Weinstein, the man of good reputation and conduct, he is, my friend, the most famous harasser in history!
He triggered the Me Too Campaign, he was the reason for the campaign! This, my friend, is the villain, not just in someones narrative, this is the villain in all printed materials! But, my friend, he was producing children's films, so he sent to Studio Ghibli that he had minor changes.
Here, my friend, Miyazaki sent him a katana sword, and a message of two words. . .
He specifically shouldn't lay his hands on the film! After that incident, my friend, nobody dared to mess with Studio Ghibli films, or even in Japanese anime in general, except for one person, my friend. Do you know who?
The queen of edits in the world, the future youth channel. "Abo Hmeed! Don’t tell me!
MBC3? ! " No, my friend, that's Saturday to Wednesday, I'm talking about Spacetoon.
"Gen Z viewer": Sorry, Abo Hmeed, are these Vitamins you buy for age and memory? In short, my young friend, Spacetoon shaped this generation in front of you, they worked well and tried, but the result is as you see now! In 1963, scientists discovered an amazing fact, there is a planet different from the rest of the planets.
Most planets rotate counterclockwise, but that one decided to rotate clockwise. Not only that, my friend, it orbits the sun faster than it rotates around itself, and that means, my friend, that a year there is shorter than a day! So, if one person finishes a task in a year, he is fast!
I'm talking about Venus, my friend! This information causes a fuss in trivia shows! The year there is shorter than the day.
But the important part of our story happened in 1985, that Venus was a source of inspiration for a person named Fayez Al-Sabbagh and his friend Maher Al-Hajj that they create a different "planet" and they established one of the greatest dubbing centers in the Arab world, if not the greatest of all time, and it is the Venus Center. The Venus center started to dub lots of Japanese anime, and sell them to satellite channels. It achieved success, but also, this is not what they wanted.
They wanted to appear in a more distinctive way. So after 15 years, they decided to create their own channel, and as they chose Planet Venus as the name for their center, they choose space as the theme for the channel. So on March 15, 2000, the Spacetoon channel is launched as a trial broadcast on Bahraini television.
And on January 12, 2002, Spacetoon becomes an independent channel on its own. A channel that changed the history of Arabic anime, and brought out better generations. I mean, we consider them that way.
The channel of the youth of the future. We're back! Spacetoon, my friend, was not a traditional channel.
Everything in it was different, from the moment it opens in the morning until it closes at night. The logo would play ping pong with itself! And because it is called Spacetoon, everything had a planet, the girls had a planet, sports had a planet, action and adventures had a planet.
"You made us remember, Abo Hmeed, the beautiful days! " Let me, my friend, please, finish the episode. The planet of speed, my friend.
Play and struggle. Fun and enjoyment. The fire of champions, and lets continue the episode, please!
Even the breaks and advertisements on Spacetoon were not ordinary. The words "We will be back shortly" and "We're back" are engraved in the children's minds until now. Rarely did anyone promise anything and actually do it, they actually returned shortly!
Now, lets go to the content itself, Spacetoon primarily aired Japanese anime. "Sorry Abo Hmeed, but the Japanese are a different society than ours, they neither eat our food nor drink our drinks nor live our lifestyle. " Exactly, my friend, that's what Spacetoon management said, but not in the same tone.
Thus, they took the anime and tailored it to their liking. Any guy who is shirtless, will be dressed, any couple will get wedding rings, any cigarettes or drinks, will become lollipops and juices. The dubbing itself was changing, any problem in the world is solved by the power of goodness, love, and friendship, fight evil with your morals, but the weapon are bad.
In the end, the villain must get his due and justice must take its course. Spacetoon's content was not limited to just anime and cartoons. It was part of the content, and also, it was subject to strict censorship.
Things were organized, every advertisement specific to its planet, the ads of action figures were shown on the planet of Action, Fulla and Barbie ads are shown in Zamurda planet, and only in it! The ads were done in a way that attracts all the children, there isn't a child who didn't wish for the cars of "Sabeq" and "Lahiq". I remember, my friend, kids waiting by stores for the car to be released, not even the Beyblade spinning top!
There are children who spent their allowance on the Beyblade spinning top, to show the power of their spinning top! "Okay, Abo Hmeed, now we have the formation, content, and ads, these are sufficient and adequate reasons for creating a successful channel, thank you! " Foolish!
My friend, repeat after me, "Watashi wa wotashita". Meaning, a hasty fool acting foolishly! See what the Japanese dictionary says about you?
All of this wasn't enough, there's still the most important thing in Spacetoon, the songs, my friend! Spacetoon songs were more important than the anime itself! Half of this generation hasn't seen "The Secret Garden", but they know the song, the lyrics of the songs were from another world, each of those songs is considered an educational reference.
Do you remember, my dear, the song of "Babar"? "With morals, with love, with hope, we rise, we overcome difficulties through work. " Virtuous morals and love and work, you see?
Or, my friend, the song "Thunder Jet", I used to listen to it, my friend, and feel like I want to free something! Not only were the words distinctive, also, the voices of the singers were among the sweetest there could be, Rasha Rizk and Tariq Al-Arabi Tarkan and the creative Assem Sukkar who sang Thunder Jet and Drgon Ball. Open this generations Playlist, you will find Spacetoon songs on top!
I still listen to the Batman song until today! "Batman! " And since space is expanding, it was necessary for Spacetoon space to expand as well.
So in 2005, Spacetoon International comes out to existence, whoever can translates from Japanese to Arabic, can translate anything! And here, an English, Korean, Indonesian, Indian, and Ukrainian channel is created, so that the Ukrainian child can enjoy! And if we had, my friend, left them a bit, they would have made a Japanese channel, dub the Japanese in Arabic, dub back the Arabic to Japanese, sell it back to them!
Most of these channels, my friend, did not last, but the step itself shows you how much the Spacetoon model was successful! However, my friend, unfortunately as you know nothing lasts forever! And the lights that life gives us at the end of the tunnel, don't have to be hope, but it could be a car coming from the opposite direction with strong headlights driven by a girl named Hope!
"Do you mean, Abo Hmeed, that women don't know how to drive? " My lady friend, you have been asleep since the beginning of the season, you woke up now? As time passes, the views of Spacetoon decreased for many reasons, the first of which is that Spacetoon wanted to keep up with the times and diversify what it presents.
And instead of most of it being Japanese anime, it now has many Western works, which sometimes, did not have the same quality as the anime. Unfortunately, the planet songs and the Graphics even the songs of the anime itself have changed. And this may have caused great frustration for many viewers, Spacetoon is no longer the Spacetoon we know, it has worn the cloak of modernity!
The second reason, my friend, is that the youth of the future also wore the cloak of modernity! They grew older and many of them actually stopped watching anime, and most of those who still watch, have begun to watch the original Japanese versions that are not dubbed, and many people started to criticize what Spacetoon used to do, the changes in characters and the story, even if the aim was censorship. Also, over time and with technology, the idea of watching television itself has decreased.
In 2019, Spacetoon created an application called Spacetoon Go, in an attempt to keep up with the times, but unfortunately, the expected success did not happen! And this is due to the strong competition that is present now, the original Japanese anime has become available and translated on many platforms, so why should I wait for Spacetoon to go get the rights and wait for the actors to come record it, and who knows if the planet open now or not! I can watch the episode at its original airing time.
However, my friend, despite all this, Spacetoon's influence remained for many coming generations, and Spacetoon will always be the channel of the youth of the future. As you see, my friend, the influence of anime surpassed Japan to America and to Syria, and it reached you personally. But all that I told you is just a very small part of the influence of anime, and what is hidden is greater!
Do you remember, my friend, Osamu Tezuka, whom I told you about at the beginning? "Of course, Abo Hmeed, I was sure that you wouldn't leave Tezuka alone! " Now you understand me!
Bravo to you, my friend, this is the father of Manga and anime. The man whom some people see as the curse that struck anime, and ruined the industry from the sixties until today, known as Tezuka's Curse! It started when Osamu tried to convert Astroboy into anime, and let me tell you about it.
Astroboy was the first experience of converting Manga into anime, from drawings to moving images, no one knew how much this product would cost when made. So we see Osamu accepting 550 thousand yen per episode. "MashaAllah, Abo Hmeed!
May God increase it more and more! He probably made them, and hid them under the tile! " My friend, can you stop being "Mitchuda"?
Please, don't be a "Baka"! This is an unkind word in Japanese! In Arabic, it gives you minutes and in Japanese, it insults you!
This amount, my friend, is very little, if you don't understand, let me explain. 1500 dollars per episode is a small amount. Let me tell you, at the same time in America, there was a cartoon called Ruff And Reddy, one episode of which lasted 4 to 5 minutes, costs about 2700 dollars.
Which means, an Astroboy episode is 4 times longer, and costs about half the price. "This man turned out to be a fool! " The truth, my friend, is that he intended to do this, he was not losing.
Tezuka admitted he did this to monopolize the anime industry, so that anyone who comes after him setting a price higher than him, it would be said to him: "Osamu himself gets this much, who are you to take more than him? " So he became the one who controls the industry. And not just that, do you remember the wide-eye thing that I told you about to simplify drawing?
This simplification of drawing was to increase production, not just because of the emotions. Easier drawing means more production and more money, not to mention that he uses a technique called which relies on fewer drawings per second, instead of twenty-four frames, twelve frames would manage! And this indeed reduced time and cost, but at the expense of quality.
You'd feel, my friend, that the scene in front of you is not smooth! Honestly, it is not Tezuka alone who used this method, if you remember The Flintstones cartoon, they were using the same method, but at the same time, the cost of one episode was 6500 dollars. Over time, the cost of producing anime increased a lot, the number of drawings in one second has increased, the number of frames.
The quality has also started to improve, but you know, my friend, what hasn't improved? The wages of the anime artists! Since the work had increased, they should be paid more!
But what happened is because of Tezuka's curse, the wages remained stable. If you can't imagine or don't understand, let me explain with numbers. The anime artist earned less than 2 dollars per drawing.
"Well, Abo Hmeed, if he did 100 drawings a day, that means he would make 200 dollars, it's very good! " You fool! One drawing takes more than an hour, and they are paid per drawing.
So, the 100 drawings that you want him to make, as if you sent him to get tea, if he doesn't get off the board, he'll finish them in 100 hours! Thus, the team of artists had to work so many hours that you can't imagine, just to be able to live. They worked more than 16 hours a day, to make 20 dollars!
Their average monthly income is 650 dollars. "Abo Hmeed, where is the union? And where is the labor law?
This situation is miserable! And when a miserable person tells you that the situation is miserable, know that it is very miserable! " Labor law, my friend, was present, but it applies to the people who are working on contracts, these artists were working as freelancers, and this is exactly what the companies wanted, cheap labor, uninsured, they don't have contracts.
To the extent that in 2014, there was a young artist who committed suicide due to overwork, it's said he was working 600 hours a month! "Unbelievable, Abo Hmeed! " Just as you said, my friend, exactly, the situation is miserable!
"Yes, Abo Hmeed, I know this term, a term in Japan that was coined, to express death due to overwork, Karoshi! This is more than burnout by two or three degrees! " Amazing, it's like you're Haruki Murakami!
"Thank you, Abo Hmeed! " The poverty line, my friend, in Japan 2. 2 million yen annually, this is according to some sources.
A Manga illustrator in his twenties earns about a million yen, making him way below the line! He grows, and the situation improves, and he enters his thirties, so his income becomes 2. 1 million yen per year, below the poverty line by 0.
1! - "Poverty line" - "Japanese Manga illustrator" God, let me reach poverty! The artist remains, my friend, below the poverty line until he reaches 40 years old, he gets out of the metro now and breathes!
"So, Abo Hmeed, why does Tezuka make this economic decision? his name is well-known, and the product is in demand, if he does it with good quality, he can ask for a high price next time, and we all win, and the Japanese artist enjoys. " Tezuka, my friend, believed that he wouldn't achieve profit directly, but rather his main profit would come from the games that will be sold later, the figurines of Astroboy, the merchandise.
Indeed, Tezuka succeeds and sells many products. Sure, currently the situation has changed with the spread of platforms, and almost half of the profit comes from the anime itself as content, but still, the wages of the artists are as they are. And here, the solution had to be on the whole system.
Let me tell you that when the Dart Shtajio studio tried to raise the salaries of the artists, it almost went bankrupt! Because the system is still the same. You ask me: "Why do artists continue doing it?
" I tell you the answer is love! The artists love to draw anime, because they grew up with it since their childhood. Just as how anime has a dark side in the lives of its artists, it also has a dark side in the lives of its viewers.
The visual effects and bloody scenes have significant effects, perhaps greater than we can imagine! For example, on December 16, 1997, episode 38 of the anime Pokemon aired, a scene of just 4 seconds appears, with some repeated and flickering flashes in blue and red. These flashes triggered something in some viewers called photosensitive epilepsy.
Yes, my friend, PlayStation warns you about it before you enter the game, and you want to skip it. It keeps saying "Sensitivity To Light", just take me to the match, Kick-Off, lets go! But let me tell you, my friend, that this photosensitive epilepsy is very dangerous, because about 700 children in Japan experienced seizures and loss of consciousness and convulsions, in an incident that was known at the time with The episode was completely banned from the series, the series itself stopped airing in Japan for 4 months.
Imagine, my friend, 4 seconds only do this! It didn't stop here, the impact of severe darkness and depression in some anime, can drive some viewers to suicide! In the nineties for example, there were two Japanese young men who committed suicide after watching an anime called Evangelion.
And in 2010, it was repeated with a Japanese young man, and he left them a message that the reason for his suicide was an anime, anime Detroit Metal City. And as much as an anime can entertain you and excite you, and pull you in, to find out what the ending is, another anime could be your ending! If I want to tell you an example of the impact that might happen to you from anime, Imagine the attachment you might feel after the third episode of Attack on Titan, if you have watched it.
The moment when you see Mikasa and the scarf flying around her neck, or when you leave all Naruto anime, and love Tsunade, just because she is Tsunade. Until now, my friend, this is normal attachment, it's like watching Twilight and liking Kristen Stewart. But what some people are talking about is Fictionophilia, this is a level much higher than normal attachment to content, a love relationship develops between the person and the character of the anime, not admiration, not admiration for an actor, no, admiration and love for the cartoon character.
Imagine, my friend, you go to sleep and wake up dreaming of "Sabiq"! You wish to go out on a date with "Nakash"! And you want "Conan" to die, so that you can be with "Ran"!
In 2018, a small wedding was held for a thirty-year-old Japanese guy named "Kondo" and his bride "Hatsune Miku"! This, my friend, is a 3D anime character, created with hologram technology, the company "Gatebox" is the one that made his bride! "Wow, oh Abo Hmeed!
" They even made them a symbolic marriage certificate! The nice thing, my friend, about this and the strange part also, is that the marriage lasted 4 years! "Oh my god Abo Hmeed!
Even the hologram bride wouldn't stand me? " Because simply, the company stopped releasing updates for the bride! But the faithful young Kondo remained loyal to his wife, he loves her even without an update!
"I loved Hatsune for herself, I wasn't looking at 1. 0 and 2. 0!
" And in September 2022, a study was conducted on 208 participants, 75 boys and 133 girls, the scientists found, my friend, that a third of the participants were watching a certain anime, the strange thing, my friend, was that this anime was pornographic! The challenge with regular pornographic films, my friend, is that they ruin our imagination about something that's supposed to happen at some point, so imagine all these things as a cartoons! You are bringing something not very real, presenting it in a not real way!
This, my friend, brings poverty to the spirit! Anime, my friend, is not just Japanese animation, but it is another world that affects people, and while it can have a negative impact, it also has a significant positive impact. Much bigger perhaps than we imagine.
A lot of anime teaches children values like tolerance and friendship, and other works focus on the theme of the underdogs, the person who doesn't have special abilities, the underdog who hasn't learned magic, nor has a superpower reserved for tough days. This is always a characteristic of the hero in anime, that he is special for being unremarkable. So, consequently, he will enter a war, to achieve distinction.
The child, my friend, watches the anime then he gets inspiration from what he sees in front of him. An ordinary person going through a journey and comes out with a different model. So here, the child is infused with spiritual power, which he can use to throw and hit targets, and he always strives for justice.
And this, my friend, is not words of an ending theme that you sell with. Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, in several interviews, he said that he was greatly influenced by anime, and that the fantasies of the anime and its ideas were a source of inspiration for him. It was a means that helped him think differently about technology and space exploration.
And many athletes also said the same thing, football, for example, did not have popularity in Japan, until 1983, when Captain Majid returned to you again! Or in another saying, Captain Tsubasa. After the airing of the anime, thousands of Japanese children and youth began to play football and love it, just because they loved Captain Majid, Yassin, Walid, and even Bassam.
Everyone wants to hit the "Tiger Punch"! Many of the sports officials in Japan said that the popularity of Captain Majid encouraged them to invest in football, to develop it and create the Japan Professional League. This was in 1993.
Nine years later, Japan hosted the World Cup with Korea, and the phenomenon Ronaldo, my friend, had the famous cut and won the World Cup. Not only that, my friend, but anime also introduced the world to Japans culture, their food and drink and beliefs and how they sit with guests, apart from the fact that many fans of anime began to learn the Japanese language, so they could understand the story more deeply! Imagine, my friend, without Naruto, could anyone have known about Ramen?
! Or boiled eggs with Indomie? The recipe that had half of the Egyptian mothers yell!
On top of all that, anime brought a lot of money to the country. Mind you, my friend, we are not just talking about art, we are talking about a billion-dollar industry, billions, my friend, being spent on anime, and it brings income to the country, just like the Toyota cars. Japan has become a supplier of anime to every place in the world.
There's also tourism of anime, every year, there are 3 million tourists traveling to Japan, because they love anime, those who eat Ramen, and those who eat Sushi, and those who buy figures. So imagine the amount of money that enters the country! Imagine, my friend, after everything I told you, someone comes to tell you: "Are you still watching cartoons, man?
" Give me the katana sword next to the nightstand, I'll end you! Or I will take you down! In the end, my friend, anime has always told stories, but over time, anime itself has turned into a story.
A story that has good and evil, the bright side and the dark side, an amazing story, with those who earn millions of dollars, and with those who earn millions of yen! May God not make us one of them! Drwings, my friend, that move, to move emotions, and other drawings that move instincts!
Drwings that seem unreal, but can move nations, and move money and move governments and move citizens. This episode definitely stirred at least one memory in you, many people who watch this episode, are surely from a certain generation who surely understand what we are saying, they spent their childhood waiting for "Conan" to grow up, and "Hunter" to find his father, hopefully, and "Ran" to call the police, and we find out who the killer is! Literally, there is an entire generation that was raised on Spacetoon songs.
So, with the permission of positive upbringing, Spacetoon is positive upbringing. "Konnichiwa! " Excuse me, my friend, in the end, watch the old episodes and the new ones, check the sources below, and subscribe if you're on YouTube.
By the way, my friend, the show is almost up to 600 episodes, 600 episodes of El-Daheeh! Hopefully, if El-Daheeh pulls itself together and works on itself, it would compete with One Piece, which has about 1200 episodes, for example! Someone once recommended One Piece to me, he said a sentence I will never forget, he told me, "Just be patient with it, after episode 350 it gets exciting!
" I'd need to watch it for 350 episodes, just for it to warm up! That's all just one piece! Thank you, man!
El-Daheeh gets exciting at the beginning of the episode!
