Series #001: Language, Illustrating, Hospitality, and Industrial design (LIHI)

How do you learn with Animanga series-based learning?

From the team the point-of-view is series-based learning focuses on investigating an open question of the world or specific thing that

they must find within the series itself for context-based reasoning and creative problem-solving to reach a conclusion. Meanwhile

the designer point-of-view with series-based assignments is focusing on moving the team beyond the general curiosity and along the

path of theory-crafting and understanding. This means it's important to understand a: Investigation Process, Series Structure

(canonicals), and when to begin a exploring-activity. Methods that make up this guided process comes from series analysis, question and

answer discussions, and build new activities with: Case studies, Group projects, Research Projects, Animanga lessons, Japan work,

Unique exercises for your team. There are actually several types of Series-based learning approaches and it starts structured from what

exists from the series itself and slowly it becomes less structured and suits different teams with a project.

Cannocity Limiters

(01.) Dense Cannocity

You give a team a question and the answer comes from the method of reaching the answer of actual instances of being canon from an

anime, manga, interview, or existing source. The goal is to build an idea of investigation methods and learning how the specific part of

cannon in that universe works with critical-thinking skills. This can be practiced with asking why certain things are canon or what makes

them not canon. Having these practices helps the people think about information throughout the day by inspiring possibility with creative-

stimulation. This is the hard lines of what the original creators placed in their world creation and even a 1% change from this allows for

the world to grow a life of its own beyond a sort of creator cannocity ownership in peoples minds and remains more of a legal issue,

business issue, and production issue.

(02.) Moderate Cannocity

You give a team an open-question that has not a yes-or-no response to it. They must use the question to create a canon-backed

conclusion through theorycrafting set things that happened before or are noted in a source. This displays a full understanding of the

cannon and reinforces the design direction of the given content that is being looked over. It shows a departure from right and wrong with

the idea of improvement of core design concepts of a series and its creative teams. When there are questions that are answered the

attempts of finding out what that answer is can be rewarding as a sense of approval without the fear of failure that is so predominant in

testing-evaluations and making the curiosity more important than having a sense of perfectionism.

(03.) Designed Cannocity

You give a team an open-question of a design-choice and the person or group will bring multiple exploration methods to reach a

theorycrafted conclusion. This creates something created from the team that perfected fits existing canon of a series, yet is something

entirely new or different. By delving into the series concepts the team should see more than a simple work of art or a singular genre

formula, but something much deeper that the creators pulled from in their thoughts and approaches. How the idea was developed, why

the design concept works, and when they can apply the idea or formula in the series to new things. Such skills are transferable through

series-based learning through the idea of company theming, initiative, and self-direction where people investigate, discuss, collaborate,

and take the ideas of a business in a direction that feels seamlessly cohesive through existing assets.

(04.) Alternate Cannocity

You give a team an open-question of a design-choice and explore it with the group as they pose their own methods that loosely fit canon

with a result that is discussed, expanded upon, and polished. An alternate cannoncity allows the team to take ownership of their creating

and build from their understanding of the concept with their own methods and thinking style that fit within the design rules of the series

that would be established through research and analysis. It will be clear what is a justified creation and a unjustified creation that could

be measured in a scale of how accurate the idea would be when asking “would this particular team that worked on this do it this way?” or

if its more on the original measurement scale of “this is the research teams decision on making it this way”.
