My thoughts: Ethnography

I can see why this paper had a shorter time period to write since it was not that hard to write. Since the main source of information was my experience the Anime culture all I had to do was to anazlye the actions around me.

My friends and I have planned the trip to the anime con since mid last semseter. Of course I din't think it would become a research trip. I thought to keep my friends out of the loop so they would act naturally and wouldn't accidently tell anyone else.

Though I also had a lot of fun during the con, I was regreting the outside research. It seemed the research material was ethier biased towards the culture or against the culture. One of the sources saw the culture as an embrassment towards the japenese culture. Saying that american fans were way to obbessed.

My other source saw it as normal occurance. Saying it was just a past time and a love of animation.

My observations made me realize that even though it looks nutsy its just having a good time with others.

The paper wasn't very hard to write but I wish I knew what I got on it.
