LONG TIME NO POST!
Hey there everyone! It's been quite a while since I posted here. I wasn't really busy; it's just that I don't know what to post about.
Anyway, tomorrow will be the Family Day celebration in our school. I guess this year will be a bit better than last year. It's gonna be held at 'D Family Park, a place better than the police training camp which had very dirty and disgusting CRs.
The bad thing about this year is that it seems to be more boring than last year. But we'll just have to wait and see.
Anyway, I did some research on the effects of animated shows to children. While researching, I stumbled upon some info about the 1997 Pokemon Seizure Incident. Here's an excerpt from my research:
The date is December 16, 1997, just a few days before Christmas was to be celebrated in the USA. The usual routine was played out. The show began, and it seemed all was well until the symptoms came around about 20 minutes into the show. (symptoms such as convulsions, sickness, ect.) Hundereds of worried parents rushed their kids to the hospitals. Then when the news came on soon after, even more people complained of feeling sick. In all, 700 + people, ranging from 3 to a 58 year old were sickened by what was, sadly, one of the most popular animes in Japan.
TV Tokyo (the Japanese TV station who ran the show) soon found out and went nuts, trying to figure out what happened to cause this phenomenon. It was soon discovered that an 8 second segment of the episode had a "wee bit" too much special FX done to it. (actually it was repetitious strobe light effects from Pikachu's eyes, that was to blame). Anyways, it was soon found out and fixed.......but not before cancelling the series for a good 4 months during investigations.
The news spread quickly worldwide of this problem. As we anime fans know, critics already weren't fond of "anime" in the US and Canada, and this seizure episode gave them more of a reason not to be.
Anyway, that's all I can say. HAVE A NICE DAY!
