Hideaki Anno

This particular article that I enjoy rereading from time to time is called “Evangelion, and why Hideaki Anno hates you.” It’s a fantastic demonstration of picking piece by piece a man’s years spiraling downhill and how he took it out on a piece of animated fiction. To give you a good idea of how bad this was, the show was originally aired on a children’s timeslot because Hideaki Anno believed children should be displayed to how much ‘life sucks’ as early as possible. It was later moved to a more

characters in the show, and his reluctancy to solidify lasting relationships. He has become content to live in the imaginary shell that is his happy place, believing that expressing his true self will cause unintended harm to others and himself. Hideaki Anno, to his credit, overlaid his permeating depression into a fourteen year-old character, that, for the most part, comes through as feeling authentic. This is not your prototypical action hero who possesses an indomitable will to overcome any, and

Beyond the scope of the mystic and supernatural world that exists in Lord Byron’s Manfred, the iconic overbearing and guilt-stricken Manfred has influenced the Byronic archetype to transcend beyond the gothic setting into today’s modern pop culture. Extending outside the gothic genre, which is characterized by the “macabre, mysterious, supernatural, and terrifying”, the haunting settings of looming, isolated landscapes, and dark forbidding symbolism, the Byronic hero archetype still exists in even

On the interesting discovery of the big brown eyed, skinny, and slightly aggressive young man that makes up Nakoda Shires, I learned on thing that we actually shared something in common, we both suffer from depression. Being the impersonal subject that I had acquired, I realized him disclosing this to me was not a comfortable thing. The first time I had encountered Nakoda, he seemed like your average college student, but the further I talked to the innocent looking individual I realized that he

There are thousands of ads in today’s social media driven society. Each ad is directed to a different group of people with a different type of message. There are some not so serious ads for things such as food, shopping, or services. Then, there are some for more serious subjects such as bullying, safe driving, drug abuse, and many others, these are usually labeled as a public service announcement.

Have you ever caught yourself pondering about how fast the professional athletes are these days? Have you ever dreamed about how cool it would be to have the speed that they do? Well now you can with the new and improved Shoes of Prey. About 100 years back the first sneaker was made for sports. Everybody believed that sneakers were the new tool in order to give athletes the edge they needed to compete at a professional level. These predictions were correct to a certain extent… Since then, new technology

In 2016, the United States spent 190 billion U.S. dollars on advertisements, almost double the amount of money on advertising than the next largest ad market (Statista). These ads advertise a multitude of different products. The ads are exposed to society in many different ways, from the breaks in between songs on the radio, to the ads shown online. Ads are targeted to a specific group of people, usually, the target demographic the brand wants to buy their product. Brands will often use women’s bodies

The so called housewife draws her bath settles in and thinks of the many duties that she has to do for the day, she calls her husband and tells him about her wonderful bath and the amazing soap she is using just like everyone else would. This is a 1950s dove ad, an ad that sexualizes and characterizes the women as something she is not and creates a stereotype of a stay home mom and skinny women who have nothing better to do. The appearance of people in ads has changed a lot over time, in the 1950's

This phrase and the belief that the world was formed in 6 days with a 7th for rest, gave the early Christians a view that the world would last for 6000 years. According to scriptures the world had a beginning, it had a “now” in which they were living and a promised end.
