hey people it's jeff here and welcome to blog. i've always felt there wasn't enough opnions and talks about japanese and chinese animation, which is why this site is dedicated to the views and opinions of these two countries style of animation.
we had to come in to university today and present our proposals about our blogging subjects. we had to talk about the relation between our blogs and web 2.0 and how our blog would be moulded into this form of interactive media for the online community to access. here are the pages from my presentation about japanese anime.
Yesterday after my presentation, Katrina informed me about different sites i can use in helping me achieve my goal of making a anime blog sharing site. One of the main sites she gave me in relevance to my research, was a website called http://www.fanfiction.net/ is a blog site dedicated to comic books, animation, film, television, sound and anime. I wanted to join the site to be connected with peers who shared a similar liking to mine and and get a bettter understandin but i found that i every pen name was invalid. I ask everyone whos interested in joining the site to give it a try, i guarantee you wont be able to get through. But just on the of chance you do get through, let me know so i can further my developement.
I still feel like i dont trully understand the meaning of anime. to me i just thought of it as animation from japan, but on further inspection i found out so much more. i went to wikipedia.org because that is the newest web 2.0 form of an encyclopedia. when i tpyed in anime on the site i found out so much about to do with anime. the site talked about the history behind the word and how it all began and what they were tryin to achieve. they have sub genres related to the different apects in new and old media asscociated with anime. they talk about the influence that this asian genre is having over western culture and even the legal sides to making and publishin anime media.
this idea, to look for anime within other sites like wikipedia wouldn't of come to me had i not been looking at my friend francis blog page. in his blog he was talking about the history behind the UK music scene known as "grime".
Today i am going to be researching different anime blogs on the internet. i've started of by searching through google.com when i typed in anime blog's in the search engine i found over hundreds of sites dedicated to anime where by fans could post there personal opinions of there favourite anime's or make a discussion about a certain point within the anime lifestyle. a perfect example of a blog site i found was from a web designer called Kurogane. Kurogane's Anime Blog has discussions everyday on the neweset animations out and the way people will percieve these new animations.

i am someone who has always believed in the idea of originality. it is for this very reason, i was inspired to want to scripts and produce my work. through the production side of the work, i would be filming the scenes as well as editing the sound work in coherence to my video.
how this relates to the practise in context lecture we have now, is that i will be gaining the knowledge of how to ahchieve my goals in the media industry through the research in the interactive neighbourhood of the web. not only that but i will be able to incorporate particular skills within the lecture to help me improve and better myself within digital media.
