- Description
- Children’s perceptions of life are often deeply serious. Children experience aspects of life that are beyond their immediate comprehension. In this sense they experience moral voids. Nobita Nobi, the innocent seeming hero of the popular Japanese anime and manga, Doraemon, often has experiences that go beyond the usual understandings of childish normality. In his frequent fan service and more style glimpses of his girlfriend Shizuka’s panties, Nobita sometimes experiences moral voids that are reminiscent of accounts of childhood in major literature such as Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury. Childish as he may be, Nobita lives in a world of desires and these desires present him with metaphysical moments that indicate transitional and trangressive features of latency.
