There have been many animation masters in the development of the Japanese animation industry so far, in addition to the masters Hayao Miyazaki and Makoto Shinkai, who we often hear about now, the one that Meow Niang admires the most is Mr. Imatoshi. For this teacher Jin Min, it is estimated that many post-00s and post-10s friends do not know him too well, after all, in August 2010, this animation master passed away. Fortunately, Mr. Imatoshi has left us many masterpieces that have been handed down from generation to generation, and these animation works are rare masterpieces even today.
Among them, works such as "The House of Unma" and "Red Hot Chili Peppers" created by Mr. Imatoshi have won many international awards, but even if these works have won many awards, many parents still forbid children to watch, and even some parents think that Mr. Imatoshi's animation works involve many inappropriate ingredients for children. To be honest, if Meow Niang had not seen these animations herself, but judged by just some animation screenshots, I might have agreed with the parents.
For example, the animation of "The House of the Unma", judging from some intercepted animation clips alone, the content of this animation is relatively dark, and even the animation is full of many vulgar and violent plots, but when you deeply understand the content described in this animation, you will find that the meaning it brings to us is extraordinary. If you are in the confused period of life, you may wish to try watching this animation, I believe you can learn a lot of useful knowledge for yourself.
However, it is not easy to really understand the connotation expressed in this animation, especially for those children who have not yet experienced society, so Meow Niang can still understand why many parents will forbid children to watch this animation, after all, if children cannot understand the connotation of this animation from a deeper extent, then what they see in their eyes may only be the vulgar and violent plots brought to us by the animation on the surface.
As for whether these animation works of Mr. Imatoshi are inappropriate for children, in fact, it is impossible to determine, because the definition of children is not the same for everyone, perhaps the plot in these animations seems to some people to be just a narrative technique for the screenwriter and director to reflect the connotation of the story, and Meow Niang I am also one of these people.
Therefore, in Meow Niang's view, Mr. Imatoshi's animation works are not as inappropriate as everyone says, but should be a masterpiece of extraordinary significance, but unfortunately, in addition to the above-mentioned "Unma's House", The methods used by Mr. Imatoshi's other works in terms of narrative techniques and other aspects are almost the same. It's too early for young children to understand such animations.
Maybe the children will be slightly better at watching such animations in high school or college, and maybe they can play a certain enlightenment and help for their future growth, of course, provided that they really understand the animation of Imatoshi, otherwise it may have the opposite effect. Finally, Meow Niang still wants to tell parents that if you think your children have strong recognition and comprehension skills, you can still let them watch such animations, after all, it is not a bad thing to know more about what may happen in growth.
