For Every High Schooler Out There Who Watches Anime

-
While you're still in high school, watch as much as you can. Really.

***

It was so fast, it's been only a few months, but I already feel very different. FYI, I just graduated from my high school. And now, I'm in one of the best institute in my country (YEAH). Oh, but I won't boast about that. Not this time. I'll be talking about anime again this time.

One of the best thing about anime is that you can easily identify yourself with the main character. Especially if you're a quiet guy in high school, don't like sport, don't really interested in academics, not so handsome, not having any girlfriend ..., you know what I mean.

Since you're really similar to him in many things, you can easily imagine yourself playing his role in that anime. You can just go with the flow and enjoy the story. Or you might imagine yourself do something better (eg. not letting the villain escape), or even more foolish (eg. more lewd), than him. It's really fun, eh? I don't know if everyone does this, but I'm sure that all of you degenerate weaboos do this at least once in your anime-watching journey.

But you instantly lost that trait once you leave your high school. I mean, dude, now I'm socially older than Hikigaya Hachiman, or Yukinoshita Yukino, or Kyon, or Suzumiya Haruhi, or Kaname Madoka, or even Kousaka Honoka. What was once your fantasy of another, more engaging, life, now it's just a fantasy of your past. What was once a legitimate personification of my fantasies (read: waifu), now I can be considered pedophile for liking them (not that I care, though ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)).



Of course, this doesn't apply to all anime. There are many anime that disregard age and (formal) education entirely. But we all know that 99% of all anime involve high school kids.

So, if you think that you'll be watching a lot of anime in college, think again. And this is not the only reason, actually ....


But, after all, maybe I'm just watching the wrong show. Duh.

Why Is Hatsune Miku So Popular?

Right now, I'm in a very bad procrastination. I feel like I haven't accomplished anything in the past week. But, apparently, only in situation like this I can set my mind free and think about irrelevant things in my life, such as Hatsune Miku (hell, why I keep writing about weird stuff). If I recall correctly, many many years ago someone told me that there was a singing hologram named Miku which just held a concert, and the concert was attended by real people (man, what a crazy world). At that point, I don't know (nor I care) anything about Vocaloid. I wonder if anyone else also doesn't. Then I found this interesting survey. In January 2013, a 3 day survey was run by Tokyo Polytechnic University . During the survey (based on ages 12–38) 95% of those entering reported knowing who Hatsune Miku was. In comparison, participants barely knew who Megpoid , IA or Aoki Lapis were. A careful look at google searches also seem to support this hypothesis: Note: Of cou...

Berawal dari rasa penasaranku, aku pun mulai mencari informasi sebanyak-banyaknya tentang JKT48 di internet. Pada awalnya, aku tidak tahu apa-apa tentang mereka. Jadi, hal pertama yang aku lakukan adalah mengetik "JKT48" di kotak pencarian google. Dari situ, aku mulai memahami berbagai hal tentang idol group tersebut - member, theater, golden rules, dll. Hingga tak terasa aku telah menghabiskan waktu berjam-jam setiap harinya di depan layar komputer hanya untuk membaca itu semua. Bagi kalian yang merasa penasaran, akan kuceritakan beberapa hal yang aku ketahui tentang JKT48.

Speaker Pertama Saya: Oontz Angle Solo

Beberapa waktu lalu, saya melihat video ini dari channel YouTube GadgetIn : Sebenarnya, tujuan saya menjelajah YouTube saat itu bukanlah untuk mencari speaker, tetapi untuk melihat review mengenai Redmi Note 7 yang baru saja dirilis di Indonesia. Redmi Note 7 adalah smartphone yang sangat menarik. Tapi, saya sudah terlanjur membeli Redmi Note 5 Pro , dan kelihatannya perbedaan antara Note 7 dengan Note 5 Pro tidak terlalu signifikan (entah kenapa, Note 7 versi Pro tidak dibawa masuk ke Indonesia). *** Kembali lagi ke soal speaker. Semenjak ‘diracuni’ oleh teman saya untuk membeli SOUNDMAGIC ES18 , saya memang sudah jatuh cinta ke dunia audio. Karena hobi saya ini, saya sudah menghabiskan cukup banyak uang untuk membeli beberapa earphone dan headphone. Namun, saya belum pernah sekali pun membeli speaker. Seperti yang kita ketahui, speaker yang biasa ada di HP ataupun laptop biasanya… ya begitulah. Memang detailnya cukup bagus, tapi siapa pun yang suka bass pasti akan merasa...
