Cartoons Versus Anime: Which One is Better?

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Which one is better? Cartoons or Anime? Lets take a look.

First of all, I would like to clear up the bias that animations are for kids only. Just because there aren’t physical actors, doesn’t mean that concepts, intellectuality or even maturity are sacrificed. As an example, I’ll use Death Note. This particular anime delves into the ethical dilemma of whether or not killing can ever be justified. It also involves a thick plot with characters that use, dare I say it, cognitive thought and intellectual inquiry to suit their causes. Does that sound childish? On the American end, cartoons such as Family Guy and Futurama are meant to appeal to adults through humor.

Anime and Cartoons are types of shows than can be watched by majority of children and some teenagers or adults. These two are animations that reflect two cultures. Anime reflects for Japanese culture while Cartoons reflect for American culture. That’s the reason why these two have their own differences. Anime and Cartoons are usually for viewer’s entertainment. Anime is an animation which originated from Japan and is now popular internationally. They say that it is more popular than Cartoons which originated from Americawhich is also known internationally. But majority of the viewers are saying that Anime is much better than Cartoons because of their differences.

For me, Anime is better 'cause of its natural and very great animation. Its like in a whole different level from anime. We'll see what will you decide which one is better. :)

Is dubbing Japanese anime in Filipino better for us? I think, yes. Why? Because not most of us is capable of understanding and reading English dubs and subs. One example of an anime which is dubbed in Tagalog is "Bleach".

Bleach follows the story of a fifteen year old boy named Kurosaki Ichigo, which in the beginning has the skill of seeing spirits and ghosts. When a shinigami, named Rukia Kuchiki, has gone to the real world to protect it from Hollows, the spirits that didn't successfully ascended to the Soul Society. Bleach was translated in Spanish, French, German, Portuguese and Tagalog.

We also have One Piece dubbed in Tagalog by GMA 7.

United in Laughter : A Christmas Stand Up Comedy Special from Comedy Manila and Rocklands Entertainment

Wazzup Pilipinas!

I met this stand up comedian at the Rob Schneider presscon and one-night show at Solaire Resorts and Casino in the Philippines. He did the hosting and front act for Rob along with other stand up comedians. What impressed me was the way he used his unfortunate little accident - a bleeding lip when it got hit by the microphone he struggled to pry loose from the microphone stand - to spice up his act and make it a little more interesting and real-life. Talk about a reality show!!! 


Other performers would have felt the pain and stopped the show and probably asked for someone to take over while they cure themselves, but he was something else! Now, that is what I call a professional performer. He truly lived up to the saying that "The show must go on!"
 
There were two other stand up comedians as front act for Rob Schneider, and I am happy to say that all of these talents made us "laugh out loud!". Thus, I am very excited to bring you this great news.
