Bad Effect of Watching Anime
Japan is one of the big
countries in Asia and they are known for having many cultures and uniqueness.
One of the cultures is Anime. Anime is a typical Japanese animated cartoons. It
is usually shown through pictures with color and variety of characters that are
influenced by the comic from japan. For Japanese people, anime is not only for
entertainment. In anime, there are so many moral values and lesson that we can
get. So many people love to watch anime even the children. Development of anime
in Indonesia is very significant especially among children. Basically, children
are easily influenced. They will watch what they think it is interesting; anime
is one of it. Some famous anime that children like are Doraemon, Naruto, One
Piece, etc. In this article, I will explain one by one about the bad effect of
watching anime. However, behind all the good things from anime, there are some
disadvantages and bad effects especially for children such as anime addiction,
changing of behavior, social deviance, and lack of awareness of nationalism.
First is anime
addiction. Anime addiction can cause a big problem in our life and future
especially children. Anime have many kinds of genre and various plot and
ending. Usually the people who get an anime that they think interesting but
corious with the eding, they will spend their time to finish it. They forget
everything like the time they have to rest, to eat, to do they homework and
many else. The other problem is Anime addiction can make the people have
psychological problem like Chuunibyou, WEEABOO, Nijikon, and Hikikomori.
Chuunibyo is a Japanese slang term which roughly translates to "Middle
School 2nd Year Syndrome". People with chuunibyou either act like a
know-it-all adult and look down on real ones, or believe they have special
powers unlike others. WEEABOO is someone who is obsessed with Japan or Japanese
Culture/Anime, etc. and attempts to act as if they were Japanese, even though
they're far from it. They use Japanese words but usually end up pronouncing
them wrong . Nijikon is the feeling or opinion that two-dimensional anime,
manga or game characters are more attractive (visually, physically or
emotionally) than real-life people (from the English "2D complex".)
And the last is hikikomiri. Hikikomori is Japanese recluse that cuts themselves
of from society. Usually mute and will not speak to anyone, sleeps all day and
watches TV by night or plays on gaming console. Why I say it will bring problem
for the future? Because from the problem that I already mantion, it will
influence the academic score. If they experience those problems their score
will fall down. Not only that, their social life and their health will be also
influenced that that makes their life even worse.
Second is changing of
behavior. Anime can influence people behavior like the way they favorite
characters speak; like, they will say ganbatte for cherring them or gomenasai
for say sorry. They will apply the language they usually hear in anime and
apply it to they daily conversation.
Another behavior is that they will change the way they dress (fashion).
They will change their mindset. They think that he/she can be a character they want
and forget about their true self. This happen in Indonesia. A boy named Revino
Siahaya was found dead because he did some extreme scene in Naruto that he
watched on TV. The family felt a great loss because of this silly things. The
family cannot blame it on anyone because this happens because Revino’s own
behavior and less awareness from the parents to keep their children from bad
affect from TV. Next is sleep habit. Some people lack of sleep because they
spend their time over the night to finish all episodes of anime. This behavior
can cause many diseases because lack of sleep such as heart disease, heart
attack, heart failure, irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, stroke , and diabetes.
And then Social Deviance. Deviance is an action that
violates social norm, including a formally enacted rule. In this context,
anime, this is usually experienced by the teenager. They start watching anime
with a genre that does not suit them like. Anime have many genres as action,
adventure, etc. but there are some genres are prohibited for them to watch like
Hentai, Yaoi, and Yuri. These three genres are extremely prohibited for them. Hentai
is animated pornography showcasing women who have better bodies than any real
women. Yaoi is a slang meaning 'boys love' or homosexuality that is
used in the japanese language. Popular with fangirls who like their favorite
anime guys to kiss. Yuri is explicit lesbian relationships in anime or manga. From
my explantion it is clear these three genres are already have bad meaning.
These three genres are deviate from our norm. Teenager are still in transition
state from childhood to adulthood. Their emotion is unstable. So, when they are
watch anime with those three genres, that possible they will apply it to real
live or they usually say want to try it.
The last is lack of
awareness of nationalism. Because people always watch anime that come from
Japan, they start to love their culture too. The people start to follow the way
Japanese life. They forget about their own culture. It proves that these day,
so many young people held Japanese festival even in here, Banjarmasin. Every
week you will find Japanese festival but it is so rare to find our own culture events.
To be honest, the reason why japan is one of the biggets countries is because
their nationalism is extremely strong. With strong nationalism, their country
will be more develop and more modern. Their spirit to defend their country
deserve to be praise. We are allowed to watch anime but in the normal way. If
we keep lack of awareness of nationalism it would cause the problem for
ourselves. For our culture we have to do our best and make our nationatism
stronger.
Many people say that
anime have many adventages and we are allowed to watch it. That statement is
true, but we have to realize that everything have bad and good effect. In
anime, there are so many moral values that we can get but there are some
disadvantages that we should overcome. So, from my explanation, I conclude that
anime have bad and good effect. There are some disadvantages of watching anime
that we should overcome such as anime addiction, changing of behavior, social deviance, and lack of awareness of
nationalism. Parents role is the key for this problem. Parents should pay more attention
to what their children do; this is also to prevent the children from getting
sick in future. Anime as entertainment is allowed but it shoud be in normal way so it will bring more happiness
and less disadvantages.
