WHAT THE HELL WITH "INDONESIA'S TV PROGRAM?" (2)

-Di Indonesia, Hantu Itu Bernama Sinetron (2)-

(Continued from this article)

I just wanna say about how serious this situation. Television program is one of soul’s foods. We can’t expect anything from a citizen who only sticking their eyes into program titles like Diva, Kasih, Jelita, Cahaya, Intan, Hidayah, Cinderella, or…oh Gosh, am I really have to write down all of those cheesy titles? Even one of my friend said that those titles always have SAME story but DIFFERENT actor/actress (LOL)

I remember that our President have been ever make project so we have our own commercial and great animation. And if I’m not mistaken – and the truth is I’m really NOT mistaken for sure – the only animation that we can make was that lame and weird “Gatotkaca” which aired when I was still in my child age.

Yurk.

This is supposed to be be a joke, Man!

Old phrase said that “if you want to make something good, just learn from the good example.” Now, compare that phrase with the condition in Indonesia. Now, the only anime that worth-to-be-watched is just Naruto which aired in Indosiar every Sunday. Okay, we should be proud that we’re the first nation in ASEAN who can air that fourth season of Naruto (and until now I’m still doubting, whether “fourth season” is the right word or not? <Indonesia: Memang ada ya “season keempat? Bukannya Naruto Cuma dibagi menjadi season pertama dan Shippuden? ^_^>). But for the amounts of aired new animes, we had beaten hard by our neighbor like Singapore or Malaysia. Ask for yourself, how many new animes aired in Indonesia in one year? The truth is, TV channel in Indonesia always repeats and repeats old-school animes and tokusatsu like Captain Tsubasa, Zoid, Ultaraman Gaia, etc. And the situation even becomes worse because the quality of seiyuu (dubber) in Indonesia is very awful. Many of them misspell name of the characters, make a wrong impression about the story, and we’ll still not count “the cut-outs” of scenes because the “lack of times” or “commercial breaks” reason. Now, can you imagine how our animators lack the nutrition for their inspirations?

So, just pray. Yes, two only things that we can do are just pray and work hard, so the “ghost” – the sinetron – shall not haunt us for more…
