stress from all sides

stress attacks from all sides that are visible and invisible.
it is not funny anymore, I'm surprised I have hair to be honest.
Worst part it is not all from me, its coming from others, and not
in little bits, it is radiating and fuming out like toxic misma.

worst part, I can't get away from it. The year started out good,
but another obstacle had to pop up. Guess I am not the soul to
have too much good, its forbidden, as if I were an anonymity.

I dont get why, but I have to keep pushing through with tears
staining my face and feeling hopeless. no one will save me
anyway, I have to push for her and them.

what else can I do besides nothing.

random discussion turned into an entry

So I am on an anime app community, its great there is a massive base of sharing new, old, topics about anime and just open up to finding anime easier. As compared to how it was in the 90's.

but the discussion was how there is much more ecchi in anime's & mangas. So much that it is taking over on some shows and the storyline becomes very lacking, or absent, I was trying to reassure another user that it will tone down again since it seems to be a cycled trend. So here is a bit of history:

Ecchi is slang for lewd or lascivious conduct, as as as dirty or naughty behaviors within anime/manga. 

While watching manga growing up ecchi was not so present in the majority, it was quite tame actually. But there were a few that were overload almost crossing into the hentai realm. But then it died down by the late 1990's since anime industry broke into the mainstream and established itself very well known into the Stated and internationally. But at the same time in 1992 Anime18 became established for the hentai industry. But there has always been nudity in anime it just wasn't censored in Japan. If anything full nudity is within series with stronger storylines and it was looked passed and not censored, some include Cute Honey, Ranma 1/2,  Neon Genesis Evangelion, which were quiet tame compared to Ninja Scroll, Devil Hunter Yohko, and many more that broke into the states with Manga Entertainment.

Between 1970's till 2005 no censorship, no issues no complaints about anime and manga's with ecchi scenarios. But in 2006 semi censored anime pop up, with just suggested scenes, it was there but covered up or blocked within the frame, but there were plenty of anime's not joining in. But the nipple-less breast did become more popular to get away with more nudity and ecchi shots. By now it has created ecchi to be fading out from being so taboo. It's not really so bad as it seems, its just an abundance of breasts bouncing, tight/revealing clothing that is shown in adult theme angles, and of course grabbing each other.

So while this in mind ecchi comes and goes in waves of how popular it is among the younger viewers and how desensitized we become to it as well. But no matter what the young the anime the more cutesy style ecchi it tries to keep it, which is fine compared to how it shows up in the older anime's it was like watching a cheap gore horror movie, overkill. But that is my opinion.

With that in mind I have seen many blog posts/discussions about Fairy Tail and one other anime having too much of ecchi into the story, the manga has way more, but remember some of these creators are grown men for the most part it is more appealing to the older guys & young guys who are inexperienced. But there are plenty of female artists as well, and well women's hormones are all over the place as well. It really can not be helped it just is the way of life.

Within the 28 years I have watched anime/manga have it's has gone from almost absent to excessive to tame. Each generation of animators and story tells will change the ecchi scenes, the next batch may tone it down again.

Falling behind on blogging but in reality I have been riding the good karma wave! My JewelLeen brand of handmade toys are being sold at another store online! A blogger has inquired about making a review on them.

It seems to be going well, even with no sales, but I hope that picks up! I am keeping positive about it either way since this is a big step! Plus I didnt imagine it would happen within the first year of being JewelLeen!
