Writing for 10/30

Date : 10/30

Time starting : 8.29 p.m

Idea I am pursuing : A narrative about an anime called "The pet Girl of Sakurasou"

Time ending :  8.44 p.m

For today writing, I will be narrating about one of my all-time favorite anime (Japanese cartoon) which is called "The pet Girl of Sakurasou" or Sakurasou no Pet no Kanojo. The title itself sounds pretty cartoon-ish if I may describe it that way. However, speaking from my experience after finishing the whole series, it is a roller coaster of ride filled with everything ranged from comedy, drama, sadness and slice of life. At first, the story seemed nothing more than a depiction on how high school boys and girls go about their daily lives in a comedic manner but as the story goes on, the "heavy" part of the plot creeps in where the viewers are exposed to some harsh reality that everyone will face as they grow up.

As of why I liked this story in particular is due to the main character in the anime aspiring to become a software engineer as soon as he graduates. Though, more specifically, he is trying to become a software programmer for designing games and the story soon revolves around the hardships he had faced and went through in order to achieve his dream. The story is 24 episodes long and in this period of time, all the way from the start to finish, the main character had been rejected twice during his work interview. His failure in landing a job is due to the fact that the interviews describing his game as something that is "unique and creative but is not what the stereotype audiences will like". Simply put, it is due to his intent of producing a new form of game never before introduced to the public being the reason he is declined from getting the job. The company thought that it is much better to employ people that will stick to the basic and create games that are already published in the market.

Even worse, the main character felt respite toward one of his female dorm mates, namely Mashiro due to their total difference in what they had to go through. Mashiro, being a natural and gifted artist, was offered to work as a professional artist but she turned it down simply because she only wanted to draw manga (or comics, in American). This is where the main character learned how a stark difference between a normal born individual can never measure up to a gifted individual. In the end, a fight broke down between the two due to some misunderstanding. Only by the end of the series, they made up.
