The Weekly W: Writing

It's the second full week of classes.  I hope they're going well.  This week, we'll look at some anime characters and how they write.  It's fascinating to see, since each character has their own style.


Our first writer is Light Yagami from DeathNote.

It is obvious that he is very passionate about his writing.  He is dramatic and even has sparkling drops of ink flying everywhere.  I wonder if it makes his writing hard to read?

Someone isn't too impressed with his writing style.  That's unfortunate.  Light has practiced very hard to have that distinct dramatic flair even while taking exams.

Next Up: Shizuku Mizutani from My Little Monster

As serious and studious as they come, she doesn't take time for much of anything besides studying.

Unfortunately for her, she makes friends with Haru (sort of by accident), and that changes her perspective on things.  She soon comes to value the different friendships she makes after meeting Haru, and learns to go with the flow, despite her crazy friends.

Next Up: Nichijou

This entire show is wacky, as I've discussed before.  Some students are better at studying at school than others.

An example of what not to do, this move is disruptive to many students.  Fortunately, this is par for the course in Nichijou, so everyone is expecting something like this.

We also see that students in Nichijou also suffer from procrastination.  Studying is always important, even if it's hard to sit down and do it sometimes.

Distraction and disruption come in many different forms.  Some of the students are disruptive in different ways.  It can be distracting to those who are trying to study.

And somehow she still hasn't realized that this isn't the kind of anime suited to the studious character.

That's it for this week!

Hope Burns Bright
