Watching cartoons is harmful or useful?

Watching cartoons on TV or computer can cause eye strain and hypokinesis [overall reduction in body movements and make you more sedentary]. It can take you away from the reality of life around and make you forget your problems for some time [without solving them]. Excess of cartoon watching is harmful as it tends to make you mentally lethargic and indolent.However watching cartoons in moderation is entertaining [and hence useful] to the stressed out mind especially for children, who tend to undergo high pressure situations according to the whims and fancies of adult "educationsist" population and stressed out parents who undergo high pressure situations according to the economic, political and educational policies of the rulers!

Are adults allowed to watch cartoons all the time?

No, but children aren't either. Sure, watching cartoons is entertaining, but I think it is meant for leisure time rather than a serious all-day event sort of thing. Not that I have any room to critisize, because when I get caught up in cartoons, I tend to spend hours watching them. So really, adults are allowed to, but they really shouldn't unless they want to become a cartoon addict, spend all day in a dark room chuckling at corny jokes, and otherwise ruin their social interactions... Watch cartoons, yeah. Just not all the time.


Is drawing manga easy than drawing cartoons?

Not necessrily. Manga is a very free type of art that does not pay a large amount of attention to detail, however, it still operates within bounderies. Manga follows the rules of porportions (generally). The bodies are generally very proportionate, though the character's eyes tend to be overly large, and their noses and mouths unusually small. Cartoons, on the other hand, do not operate with any bounderies of proportions. Cartoons are usually disproportionate and often bubbily. It is a very free form of art, but requires little skill.

It is possible to love too much?

Not if you do it the right way. It all depends on what you define as love. Love is not lust, and love is not the habitual (albeit creepy) need to be physically attached to the opposite sex all of the time. Guys tend to hate when girls get "clingy" or just weird like that.
