Thoughts on Violence in Anime and Video Games

Since the Aurora Theater Shooting, there has been some discussion about violence in general from two notable Anime bloggers.  While I had some thoughts about it, I decided not to share them since it’s a controversial issue. With the Sandy Hook Elementary Shooting that took place last month, I felt the need to share my thoughts about violence in media as some politicians and NRA’s Wayne LaPierre decided to make media the scapegoat instead of addressing the issue. There are many reasons why I don’t think media like Anime necessarily cause someone to become violent. (Image Source)

Let’s Play Atelier Meruru – Episodes 2 & 3

Artist: mirai (macharge)

I basically finished editing Episode 2 and 3 a bit early. Because of that, I may as well bring them to the public. In these episodes, I do some farm development and making the path to the mines. Believe it or not, I made a lot of progress in those five months. Believe me, the in-game time goes by very quickly (although you have a lot of time if you meet the extension requirements).

Also, I received a question on where to get this game since it’s pretty niche. Your best bet is NIS America website or Amazon. Aside from that, feel free to add me on the Playstation Network. Mine is chikorita_157, which is my Japanese PSN account (trophies list will have mostly Japanese language games). I will accept everyone who I know in the blogosphere first.

The next posting (Episode 4 and 5) for this let’s play will be made in two weeks. For now, enjoy! (Image Source)
