So, we happened upon this cartoon series in 2012, and
decided to try it out as a family. We
were delighted to find a well-developed world of fun characters, exciting
action, humor that isn’t bodily-based, and situations that explored some topics
worth discussing as a family.
As we discussed each episode, we started taking notes. Mostly dad was taking notes (Monk Gyatso),
but the kids had many insights and are learning to look closely at media and
pull out lessons, so they will now be writing more.
Naturally, these will be aimed at an age range of like 6-15. But true principles can resonate with us regardless of age and situation.
So, here is the project:
We have a viewing schedule that runs from November to
August. Each week we write about what we
see and think. Sometimes this is one
episode, sometimes more.
We will reverse-date our posts so that someone coming to this site will see the pages in order like a book, rather than the most recent first.
We are as follows:
Monk Gyatso (dad)
Panzerfaust (boy
10 yrs old)
Pirate Capn (boy 8 yrs old)
EllaBella (girl 7 yrs
old)
Pinky Pie (girl 4 yrs old)
