Having read all the 17 entries of this Blog Carnival, the participants all have agreed that rating an anime is highly subjective due to an infinite number of reasons.

So why is that so? Anime is an art. It’s an expression that is purely creative with the intention of stimulating our imaginations. Clearly, individuality defines the perception of the viewer–albeit we are using our brains or hearts. And because of this, it’s exceedingly impossible to recapture that sole authentic entertaining experience. For instance, none of the 17 participants came up with identically the same criteria or basic elements that affect the way they enjoy an anime. Indeed, some agreed that animation, plot, and character immensely influenced how we take pleasure in watching anime. But, if we are going to dissect what makes a good character, plot and animation, nobody stated exactly the same factors that defined these.

I have an extreme fascination with time. If I’m asked to choose a sole capability to become a superhero, I’d definitely choose time manipulation. That feeling of assurance that you would be able to correct all of your mistakes and totally be in control of your destiny bestows that godly experience that no other ability can give.

But of course, everything has its own downside. Aside from each of us is always dependent of our own time, the problem with time travel is no matter how we manipulate our destiny, we can never cheat time, because nobody remains forever in present and no one can ever stop the future from coming.

Time is one of the many perplexing variables that I used to be so obsessed with. Once again, I was able to rekindle my passion to discuss about it after watching The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. In this story, I truly enjoyed how it precisely illustrated that the flow of “lived” time isn’t being experienced equably—time can fly and time can crawl. As the major theme suggested, “Time waits for no one.” I also liked how it consistently obeyed the parallel universe and supporting theories of time-traveling—as far as my limited knowledge is concerned.
