Why You Should Watch Anime

Japanese animation or as it is better known Anime, has a lot of great qualities that cartoon and animation studios should consider carrying out on them. First all great Japanese Cinema of Fear is based on a great comic, known there as manga. Once the public is aware of the manga, the studios make the manga to an anime.

If it is faithful to the manga, the public will accepts and embrace it if its better in storytelling, animation, pace, or even voice acting. The story is at the heart of all successful anime. In japan it seems the people point to the director and will follow animes based on whom the director or studio is. Think of your favorite Saturday morning cartoon when you were a kid and now try to imagine how it would be with a huge story and seasons of Gormiti like a TV series. That is how it differentiates anime from American cartoons. Cartoons nowadays seem to go for entertain more no matter how stupid the cartoon is.

Anime's motto is entertain while tell the best new original story you can come up with. So every new one has a twist and tries to be different then the last. Disney had a great success with its early animation movies until kids hardly pay attention to them. Now I see ads of Disney classics of $1.99, while anime is gaining huge momentum and being internationalized. So if you have not seen an anime yet, don't be discouraged by the weird title. Look for it on your tastes. There is one for anyone from racing to romance.

Framing a painting - choosing the right materials.


A good painting should have a good frame. The frame keeps the painting stretched

There are two major options to frame a painting. The first is by using PU material (Polyurethane). This is a manmade material that is being used for various products such as foams, toys, fabrics, belts, sandals, bags, 1909 Philadelphia Caramel many other products you can find around you.

In recent years, there are many factories who manufacture PU frames. Those frames are being use in many paintings mediums, such as, Oil paintings, Charcoal paintings, Watercolor paintings, Pencil paintings, Patel paintings and Acrylic paintings.

There are 4 advantages in using PU frames:


-A PU frame is relatively cheaper than any wooden frame.


-A PU frame is much lighter than a wooden frame.


-A PU frame doesn't need to be fumigated.

(In some countries there are laws regarding wooden products. It is mainly implemented in Islands, such as Australia and New Zealand and also in some states in the US. The logic behind those laws is that the country wants to be protected from 1974 Topps baseball cards species of insects who can enter their country. Every piece of a solid wood needs to go through a cleansing process. During this process the wood is treated by chemical that kill all insects. In many case the chemical will be ammoniac. After the process is completed the wood is clean and a certification about that will be issued. This certification will be presented to the customs. PU frames do not require any fumigation process and this is a great advantage for using it.)

A PU frame have a long life and it is not affected by insects.

-Sometimes they have a cheap look.

When the wood is in low quality it will be covered by other materials, when the wood quality is high it will normally be use in its natural form and will be covered by transparent varnish.

There are 3 advantages in using wooden frames:


-The wood has a natural look.


-It is strong and can be used for large paintings.


-It is more flexible during the framing process.

The disadvantages of wooden frames are:


-It is heavy.
