Andrew N. Kim (born July 12, 1982)[1] is an American politician and former diplomat serving as the Congressman[2] from New Jersey's 3rd congressional district.[3] The district stretches from the eastern suburbs of Philadelphia to the Jersey Shore.
Kim is the first member of Congress of Korean descent in the Democratic Party, and the second overall.[4]
Early life and career[edit]
Kim was born in Boston[5] to Korean immigrant parents. He was raised in Cherry Hill, New Jersey and graduated from Cherry Hill High School East.[6] He attended Deep Springs College in California before transferring to the University of Chicago, where he graduated in 2004 with a degree in political science.[7][8] During college, Kim was an intern at the United States Agency for International Development.[8] Kim later received a Rhodes Scholarship and Harry S. Truman Scholarship to study international relations at Magdalen College, Oxford.[7]
U.S. State Department[edit]
Kim worked at the U.S. State Department and served in Afghanistan as a civilian adviser to General David Petraeus and John R. Allen, before working as a national security adviser for the White House under President Barack Obama.[4] Kim served as a United States National Security Council official to Obama.[9]
2018 election[edit]
A resident of Bordentown, New Jersey, Kim ran in the 2018 United States House of Representatives election in New Jersey on November 6, 2018, after advancing from the June Democratic primary. Kim ran against two-term incumbent Republican Tom MacArthur, in a district that had been won by President Donald Trump in 2016. Kim was endorsed by former U.S. President Barack Obama,[10] former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden,[11] New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy,[12] and actress Piper Perabo.[13] Kim says he was inspired to run in reaction to MacArthur's efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act.[14]
During the campaign, MacArthur sought to portray Kim as a D.C. elitist and outsider. In an ad run by the New Jersey Republican Party, Kim was described as "Real Fishy" in Wonton font on a picture of dead fish. MacArthur dismissed accusations of racism surrounding the ad.[4]
The race was considered too close to call on election night. However, on the following night, an influx of absentee ballots in the Burlington County portion of the district, home to the majority of the district's voters, gave Kim a 2,500-vote lead, prompting Kim to declare victory.[15] MacArthur conceded defeat eight days later.[16] With a margin of victory of less than 4,000 votes, or slightly over one percent of votes cast, this congressional race was the closest in New Jersey.[17][18]
Kim's first official action during his tenure was voting in favor of Nancy Pelosi as United States Speaker of the House, despite voting against her nomination during a Democratic caucus meeting in November 2018.[19] Kim cited the need for reopening the government amid the ongoing government shutdown for his decision to ultimately back Pelosi's nomination.[20]
In May 2019, Kim's SAVE Act was passed by the House, 234-183. The bill is designed to help lower drug-prescription costs, including a provision which prohibited brands from stopping generic version of drugs to be sold on the market.[21]
In December of 2019, Congressman Kim sided with his Democratic colleagues and voted to impeach President Donald Trump.

This is the most essential product you can buy. I'm talking about sun tan lotion. Sun block. We use this gallon jug. You can use this too. I suggest making it mandatory for all swim instructors to wear the lotion before they start their first lesson. When they're done teaching each class, they should get out of the pool, talk to parents, dry off, and lube up with sun tan lotion again. This is the number one best thing you can do (aside from not going outside) to protect your exposed skin from the damaging effects of the sun. Put your sun tan lotion on often. Recommended reapply rate is once every hour if you're in the water. To creatively make sure your staff is wearing sunscreen, bake it into your routines and culture. Put the sunscreen on together before your first lesson after your daily meeting / debrief. Offer 45 minute swim lessons starting on the hour. After each class have a 15 minute break, and at the :55 get together for a group sun screen circle making sure to get everyone else's shoulders and back. Use the pump lotion or the spray-on. Make sure you're dry so it stays connected to the skin.
You can check these out, https://amzn.to/2udnhnp, but I recommend going to swim outlet for something more like these: https://www.swimoutlet.com/p/dolfin-lifeguard-mens-long-sleeve-rashguard-8174189/?color=50448 Wear them to cover more skin, but still provide mobility and comfort. They are effective because the fabric will block the skin. Make these optional for your staff and cover the cost if they're used. i don't have a good recommendation to get teenagers to wear these, but if you do please comment! Maybe an end of the year bonus if you buy one and use it daily?
wow. We had these type of hats available to us when I taught swim lessons, but very few people wore them. They looked weird, and only the most confident, most bold were willing to wear them. https://amzn.to/2J5dQvw At the time that was not me. You can wear these hats to protect your face and head from the damaging effects of the sun while you're teaching swimming lessons. Pair this with good sunglasses and you have total protection for your eyes and head.
The worst time to be under the sun uncovered is between 10-4pm. The absolute worst between 11-2pm. Change your swim lessons to be earlier in the morning done at 11, and later in the evening starting at 4pm. That way your staff misses out on the worst of the sun. Your swimmers, often children, will benefit too from the decreased intensity of the sun. it might be a little colder, it might be a little more cloudy or uncomfortable, but you'll be protected and you'll be doing right by your teenage staff that, like me, will resist wearing sun screen.
Brief guide on Autism from American Red Cross Swimming Water Saftey book
No. Most parents don't care what your swim program system is. They care about three things:
1) Will their child learn how to swim?
2) Does it fit into their schedule?
3) Is it within their budget?
They're more worried about making the most out of their time and effort to bring their kid to swim lessons. They want progress, they want success, but they don't really care how you order your level structure. It isn't important to them.
That isn't to say you shouldn't have a structure or a plan, but you don't need to drop thousands of dollars licensing a swim program to be successful.
Dr. Alan Goldberg, www.competitivedge.com
Getting parents to work with, not against you.
Blog post about day 1 handout.
Day 2 handouts:
Be proactive. How to teach your parents on your swim team. Learn how to interact with your swim lesson parents in a healthy way.
Be proactive, take the first step, and be bold with giving information.
Recap from Dr. Alan Goldberg and Josh Davis.
Ok. The first thing is to get in the water.
The second thing to do is to touch the bottom with your hand.
Easy? Easy peezy?
Now we're going to swim front crawl or freestyle with side breathing from here to there. (one length).
Well done. Can you touch the bottom, here?
Where did you learn how to swim?
Ok. Now we're going to do back stroke all the way back. When you get to the other end I'll go like this it means stop. Ready? Okay go.
Well done. Do you know how to do breaststroke kick? (demo) ok. Do whatever you know to me (1/3 of the way) stop when you get to me.
Ok. Turn around, now we're going to do butterfly kick. Stand with your hands at your side, and put your face in the water and wiggle like a dolphin.
Well done, hop out, lets get out of the water, we're all done. You did very well. Let's go talk to your parents.
i'll be interviewing a person about how to teach swimming lessons to autistic kids. She is an expert in adaptive physical education for special needs children and will be an excellent resource.
I'm hoping to connect with Nitro tash to get her take on her new swim lesson format with her pool in Perth, Australia.
Look for updates to swimminglessonsideas.com and a new resource to take beginners from no program to a thriving successful one including. I understand that a lot of the material assumes an intimate knowledge of swimming lessons that not everyone has. I hope to address this in the future.
Routine works. It does. i struggled with giving my swimmers too much freedom in their swim practices and it lead to chaos. now, falling back on the tested and true routine and structure we've had massive success and improvement.
Think of your routine as your framework. It is the brick wall of your instruction. The format (each brick in its place) is the same, but the choice of bricks change. Like a wall, not all bricks are identical and you can sprinkle your flavor of skill, drill, and activity to match the pace and goal for the cycle, but throughout your following the same structure and framework so your pieces all align.
Correct your teachers that aren't performing like they should!
Give initial feedback.
Restrain anger and disappointment.
Immediate debrief and followup.
Frame things in the future. next time do this.
Deal with it in private.
Lots of talk about breath; on land, in the water, in small groups, and over short distances.
Most effective initially with short distances, and constant discussion about it. Some level of attenuation.
Lean what we do in dryland, and in our small groups to progressively move through breathing on land to maintaining the breath in the water.
Struggle how to keep it relevant and enforce it: how to make it habit?
How to tell if doing it? Enforcement.
Variations on Standard Techniques for better swimming:
SIP 069: Foundational Breathing Method for swimming:
Get ready to experience the next supplemental guide for better swim lessons!
We've been refining the general format of our swim lessons. Ever forward, and ever working on refinement we've been teaching lessons using this new take on an old favorite.
For a long time we've incorporated the "learn something, learn something, play a game format." you can see it in the lesson plans that you can buy on the website.
The last two weeks I distributed the first version of the General lesson plan guide for Level 2 and Level 3.
I've been writing these lesson plans out for the last year on white boards for my veteran staff that might not want to think too hard at lessons and are more comfortable being told what to do. They might know the way to do it, and how to give feedback, but lack the experience and confidence to come up with a solid progression of skills to get the best results.
These lesson plans accomplish that. Here is an example of level 3 general guide.
Look a the picture. It gives instructors an easy visual cue how to set up their lanes and run their lessons.
The left side is the meat and potatoes. It has a range of activities drawing from the most important and should serve as a building block to iterate off of.
The Challenges are likewise level specific, but should serves as a general guide for lessons. You can read off the script, or make small changes to create you own personal challenges specific to your group and your pool.
The bottom has the level criteria. When in doubt, make it a quick reference for the teacher so they know what they should be working towards.
Finally in the middle are the specific language the instructor should use for that level. Take note this isn't the scripts for glides and backfloat, but more careful specific words to use in order to get the best results quickly.
"Start immediately in SL" means that you don't push off in 11, or like a wild person head first then do the streamline. It is deliberately crafted words to indicate that while the child is pushing off the wall it should be in streamline with no space between wall and water without it.
The instructor tips aim at general reminders for teachers of that level. It is like having the manager give those gentle reminders on the paper; like a whisper in the ear.
Get the basics for your new swim program. If you're already established, take these ideas and see if you're already doing them.
Question from John from the UK. He asked me very generally what he could do to get started. He had bought the swimming ideas lesson plans which you can get here: https://swimminglessonsideas.com/store/
But he was uncertain in how to start teaching swimming lessons. It made me think about what the key things someone would need to begin. Like what if you'd never taught swim lessons before!
I've always assumed that someone that was going to start teaching their own program had done what I did: work at their local pool as a teenager and over time and apprenticeship learn how to be a good teacher. Most of the content on Swimminglessonsideas.com is driving at how to run your swim lessons as either a private instructor who wants to hire some new staff, or as an Aquatic Professional that knows how to teach already and is looking to manage a large staff like a park district.
I intitially wanted to direct john to the SLI Swim Instructor Training workbook; on Amazon. It is awesome. It takes you through the 15 essential swim skills which we build off of for our lesson plans. But it isn't comprehensive for a beginner. I think it needs to be.
I'm working on that.
Then I figured that there was a ton of content in the blog section of swimminglessonsideas.com that he could read, but it was more designed around people that already know swimming; it is guides to help those already established.
There are plenty of articles under the Swim Lesson Guide category: https://swimminglessonsideas.com/category/swim-lessons-guide/
More in the Lesson plans: https://swimminglessonsideas.com/category/swim-lesson-plan/
And the most distilled in the resources: https://swimminglessonsideas.com/category/resource/
But that wasn't enough. I'm working on a walkthrough for total beginners to get you moving on your swim lessons. This episode is for the starter who has not taught swim lessons before, and has nto been in a large program but knows how to swim.
Essentials to teaching swim lessons.
Before you start:
During lessons:
Dominic Latella from theswimbox.com stops by to talk about his online course about breathing and to follow up on his sensational comments.
We talk about a lot of different things regarding swimming.
Dominic lets us know some details about his most recent training trip to the Bahamas, and who makes the best eggs in his family. I believe that my eggs are awesome in my house. :)
I get a chance to ask Dominic to explain some of the parts of the Foundational Breathing Method for swimming. I've gone through this course, I've put it into practice, we use it in our developmental swim program and you can too.
Take a look with me at the 3 year old class I've been teaching for the last 6 weeks. Look at the games we play and how I've been successful getting them in the water when half the class was crying and terrified the first few lessons.
Yes! It is okay to play games with 3 year olds, and I would even say that you should be playing mostly games and singing songs with your youngest participants. When they're comfortable enough to trust you with going underwater, smiling, and having more fun than the wide eyed scared hesitation you can start layering in front glides, back glides, and other horizontal progress skills.
This is an overview of the last six weeks of swim lessons I've taught with a group of 3 year olds and the transition we've seen from crying on the side of the pool crawling into their parent's arms, to smiling and laughing as an active participant in the water.
*I recorded this episode on Friday, and on Saturday before posting taught the last class. Only one of the initial crying kids cried again this final lesson, but a few minutes later she was smiling and laughing in the water with the rest of the kids playing games and doing front and back glides with ease.
Of note, the girl got splashed by an overzealous participant and cried. I wiped her face with her, told her she was okay, had the girl apologize to her, and then when she persisted, I said in a stern voice, "Sally, no more crying. You're fine." She stopped immediately. I was so shocked I couldn't believe it worked! Sometimes the youngest participants need a firm reminder that their reaction is over and it is time to move on.
Get 1 of each, and sit on the side of the pool. Put your feet on the floating toy and hold it underwater.
Put your sinking toy on top of your floating toy. Use kicks to push it away from you without letting the sinking toy fall off.
My favorite game obviously. Let them choose what to do you to, Bucket shoulder, or bucket head. They only rule is they have to say, "bucketshoulder" or "buckethead" when pouring the water on you.
You then give them the choice which one they want, BucketShoulder or bucket head. Then you do it to them. If they choose head, start with having them look up and pouring water on the back of their head.
Use the hula hoops and make a cake or a pizza. Make sure you really sell this game as they'll love it and get into it with you. This is another round of opportunities to go underwater at their comfort level.
We send our floating toys on a journey with kicks or splashes and then do front glides to go get them.
"Do you want to go underwater?" Yes or No, and then follow through. Have them hold your hands and then you can control the depth they go when you do the jumps.
We piled all the toys on the kickboards and then had a "storm" and splashes to knock some off then they got them. Awesome game.

James Clear:
Deliberate practice refers to a special type of practice that is purposeful and systematic. While regular practice might include mindless repetitions, deliberate practice requires focused attention and is conducted with the specific goal of improving performance.

Update for 2018! Wow. We have a lot of new material and action ready for you in the next year.
Check out his online videos here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYfIfs2Fz5G6W_to2PAUS9Q
I really enjoyed talking with Jeff from Excel with Grace. I loved how he gave specific examples and connections to the more ethereal mind and attention to specific swimming techniques and learning. One of my first questions to him is how we can connect the mind, and attention to the physical expression of swimming. Jeff answers this question so well and his mastery of this concept comes out clear in how he frames his responses.
How do we connect mindful to physical. Jeff talks about how people always think that yoga is about clearing the mind of thoughts, but that isn't true. It is about recognizing your deviant thoughts and then finding an anchor for your attention. Allow those thoughts to happen, but notice them, and then move away from your mind using your breath as a focus point, or anchor for your attention.
In swimming, we want to achieve this same goal with our beginner and elite athletes. We want them to focus on a specific skill and improve it while they're swimming. We know as coaches and instructors that people will not be able to do a physical skill perfectly immediately, or every time. So we use tactics like Dominic Latella's Redemption Game to aim that attention for short spurts of time. We want to focus that attention on our intended skill, and meditation is a way to flex that attention muscle.
Jeff talks about easy speed, and how meditation allows you to achieve that 100% speed at 95% effort where you remove the tension of forced swimming at maximum effort.
Shivasssana Game: teach a few poses, have everyone do it for a few seconds, then yell, "Shivassana!" and everyone has to lay down and pay attention to three of their breaths. Jeff then gets everyone up and has them pretend like they're trees. While some people are acting like trees, then others are acting like bees and breathing like bee's while moving around the trees.
Golden nugget of quality swim instructors: diverse range of experience and pairing it to the audience. Interesting, fun, and challenging while maintaining a specific goal.
Advice for Developmental coaches:
Madness time at the flags and act as rowdy as possible within reason, but then Jeff would yell, "Listening position" and time how long they got back to paying attention.
When you're starting your own yoga for swimming a good place to start is in table top pose; hands and knees on ground, raise left hand, and lift right leg straight. Then slowly build on it.
Progressive posture and pose, like all swim lessons is to gradually step by step increase in difficulty.
What is it about Yoga that makes it so good for swimming?
Jeff says he could go on for another hour about this one thing, but he distills it down nicely into "Balance."
You have the ability to give the athlete an opportunity to train the body overall and the mind to physically and mentally improve. Yoga provides power, strength, flexibility, increased range of motion, reduce anxiety for poor meet performance, and better body awareness.
His answer is excellent and I highly encourage you to make sure you listen to this portion near the end of our conversation.
And how it has been fun and full of healthy improvement.
Preface: I run safe and encouraging practices. I get along well with my swimmers and their parents. I can't think of a time I was upset with a parent that knew me or has watched a practice. We fill our time building up our swimmers by giving them regular feedback. They experience more than 10 interactions per practice of one of the coaches saying something they did well, and something they need to improve upon. We take particular effort in praising effort as followup to previous instruction.
We've been doing "Fail" practices inspired by episode #061 with the Swim Box and Dominic Latella.
Here's what we've done, and why you can do it too.
The basic premise:
Today is a short podcast about how I failed when taking a child underwater.
I went to the beach with my friend and his family and while swimming with their 3 year old, I did the motorboat game, and dunked her to disastrous results.
Find out the three things I did wrong!
1) Trust
2) Expectations
3) Appropriate activity
Learn why I made this colossal mistake, and how you can avoid it in your lessons with your swim staff this summer.
I had so much fun talking to Dominic Latella from SwimBox. He said multiple times that making swimmers better is his primary goal. He wants to help people and work with others that share that goal. You can see it shine through everything he says in our conversation. Dive into this episode and share his enthusiasm.
Breathing well on land is a demonstration of a good athlete.
I don't think you realized it, but you said, "breathing is not fundamental," and I would say, breathing is the foundation of swimming.
Swim Easier after just one lesson.
SwimBox brings together technology and expertise to give you the best swim lesson experience available. The core of our protocol is injury prevention, and our dream is that everyone know how to swim. We work towards that by providing you with the safest swim lessons you can find.
In addition to his love for the sport, Dominic has been in the swimming world for over 14 years, and not just as a coach. Take a look at some pieces of his resume:
Dominic's straight to the point scientific approach helps you learn safe and efficient swimming technique. SwimBox's endless pool technology allows him to be able to stop you mid-stroke and make any needed corrections/adjustments. He'll tell you exactly what needs to be done with your swimming to become more efficient, get faster, and swim injury free.

Dominic and I have a great conversation about challenging a core swimming concept: engage your core. Should we be focusing on pulling our belly buttons into their spine? Why did we even start doing that? Functionally, we want to have the core strong and stable to promote the body rotation and the spinal axis being still to maximize the force. But can you maintain a strong core the whole time? Can you squeeze your belly for more than a 50? Maybe we're approaching the result from the wrong way.
We talk about how when you use diaphragmatic breathing it fills or expands your waist using the same muscles that you would with "squeezing your core" but you can maintain it for a longer amount of time. Listen to how Dominic talks about learning to breath on land by expanding your pant's waist.
He also talks about how you should rest in between breaths, and that you shouldn't start to exhale until your face exits the water. This will have a shallower breath, and because you're doing that, you should breathe to the same side to keep your oxygen at it's optimal level. If you're doing one breath every 3 or 5, you're going to have a deeper breath and a less engaged core as a result.
We are getting people stronger in their core through their breath.
Listen to the results SwimBox is getting focusing on breath. 00:28:00
For beginners, it is better to teach the "exchange of air" and learning that breath is an important part of swimming. I tried this with my developmental swimmers on deck first. We worked on big belly breaths, and small belly breaths. We did exercises where we got close to a mirror and touched the mirror with our belly buttons but not our nose or other body parts using our breath. This was to teach wide waist breathing and using your diaphragm to breath.
We talk about how to distill down your feedback and your guidance to building into a better swimmer, or move into the next swim lesson. Dominic talks about how he can take your basic freestyle and in 5 lessons make you a better swimmer overall. In about 3.5 hours, he can give you a series of instruction that cycles through the 5 focus protocols for improved swimming.
How do you know which of the many different components of swimming to focus on? Dominic and his team at SwimBox have come up with lesson plans and what they call "protocols" to teach swimming effectively. I think this echos Swimming Ideas and our level structure for beginning swimmers. We focus on the essential swim skills to get overall better results and improvements in swimming.
It is easy to see all the different things that are wrong with the swimmer, but what is the most important thing to focus on first?
I really like how Dominic looks at a swimmer and says, "what is going on with the core, and what do I know about improving posture. Let's work on that first, then we can move on to the legs.
Dominic and I are of the same mind here. Steal from other coaches and use their language to get the effect. Sometimes we teach and coach and our participants are not responding to our words. Swimming Ideas uses scripts and specific key words to emphasize points, but if they're not working we encourage you to change some of the phrasing.
In the same way, we discuss how it totally makes sense to take the words other coaches use to describe an activity in a different way to get your participant to change.
USA Swimming sports consultants give coaches the "effective coaching" presentation. Take advantage of this now; it will change your coaching style and life for the better.
Remember that when you learn a new motor skill you can only do it for 15-20 seconds. The "redemption game" is basically during your timed swim you get 1 chance to breath wrong, but the next time you breath it needs to be correct, or you lose the game. It ties into meditation because you're training your brain to be aware of your actions, recognize when you don't do it, and then make a change.
We use short distance skill training in the pool to achieve the same goals here. Remember that when you learn a new motor skill, you can only maintain doing it for 15 -20 seconds. We do 3 x streamline + [new motor skill] in our swim lesson and our developmental swim team to achieve this exact time limit. We give our swimmers 5 chances in short 10-15 second bursts to do the skill well. In addition, we give immediate feedback to the swimmer right after their attempt. Check out our complete program for more information.
SwimBox uses the Endless Pools to teach their swimming. There are many advantages, and you should check them out here: https://www.endlesspools.com/
The summer is almost upon us and you're going to start running training classes for your summer and seasonal staff. Slap on the sunscreen, wear a floppy hat, and get those kids moving!
This is our guide to running effective training sessions. We are going to assume that you are a park district or a large program that has hired a decent sized staff and are running either lifeguard, swim instructor, or all staff training sessions. Your goal is to both create a team and a culture with these people (integrate old and new) and give out a wide range of information that the staff will need to know.
We have two ultimate goals in our staff trainings this summer:
There is a wealth of information about "running a good meeting" and some of the key points are essential for you the manager or the aquatics professional. Remember our two key goals: provide information the staff needs to do their job, and creating a team culture. Those will drive all things, but we'll separate out our guide into three different categories to make things easier for you to plan, execute, and evaluate.
When I worked at my outdoor pool over the summers every Friday we had a meeting at 9am. Every week the whole staff got together for an all staff meeting and training session. Before you get in front of your staff the most important thing you need to do should already be done: know what you're going to say and do.
Have a plan. Sit down or pull up last year's trainings and review what exactly you're going to accomplish in your meeting and training. Know exactly the things you are going to focus on and distill down to the most basic items what the staff needs to learn, know, or take away from your meeting.
Know what you want your staff to take away from the meeting.
Know what you are going to do exactly at the meeting to get that result.
Prepare any necessary materials or flyers before your meeting to distribute or use as props.
I recommend you write up an agenda, or a timeline, or a guide for yourself. Write something down like a list that will keep you on track and provide a guidepost if you take too long on one item or forget something.
In general with all staff meetings I prefer to follow this formula:
We want participation. Remember our goal is to both provide relevant information and training, but to also provide a team building environment so participants feel closer to each other.
I recommend small group activities with clear goals and instructions. You can see our training modules here: https://swimminglessonsideas.com/category/trainingmodule/
For CPR you can write up a clear scenario and allow teams to fully act out in a real way as possible the procedures they'd follow to provide care.
When training for specific skills you can be more creative. If you want to do an activity for scanning, you can put someone in the lifeguard chair, and another person behind them. Blindfold the lifeguard in the chair and have the person behind him throw objects into the pool. The lifeguard then has 20 seconds to scan and see if any object is on the bottom.
Follow this formula for the activity:
Explain why
when you are done, explain why you did everything. "We played the scanning and the blindfold and throwing game so you could see how difficult and important it is to scan using three-d triage. Remember, the bottom of the pool is the most dangerous because it is hardest to see and most fatal.
Safe Splashes Swim School in Arizona with Teresa Stewart
Teresa has been teaching swim lessons most of her life. She uniquely finished her lesson program while young and they made her a co-teacher to give her something to do while at lessons. She has contributed to the Swimming Lessons Ideas website, and has two posts you should check out too:
Freestyle Kick drill: Motorcycle
How to teach treading water:
In this conversation, we talk about how Teresa is a planner. She runs a successful swim lesson program over the summer from May through August teaching 6 hours a day in her backyard pool. She has two main goals that define her lessons:
#1: Be a positive voice in the child's life.
#2: Teach young to survive when they fall in the water.
These two goals permeate Teresa's lessons and shape how she crafts her lesson plans and determines her purpose. She mentioned that there was a point where each week they'd hear about four children dying in pools. Teresa's goal is to do all she can to stop drowning through fun effective instruction.
We go in depth on the following topics:
My favorite parts of our conversation are where Teresa talks about updating her lesson plans and adjusting mid week for each child she works with. I'm also fond of her wealth of games and activities she reviews at the end.
Thank you, Teresa Stewart!
Episode 057 with Meighan Julbert: "Focus on the 2-3 things totally essential for swimmer's success."
Episode 055 with Karis Mount: "My coaches focused on the one thing that would make me improve. We were focused."
Episode 054 with Jennifer Butler: "When giving feedback, focus on the one thing that will help them the most."
Effective Teaching from USA Swimming:
Strong direct immediate feedback: That ties into the focus, the goal.
Avoid breaking bad habits, give new ones.
Give effective feedback in your lessons or on your swim team.
Meighan Julbert is a Mental Skills Consultant for The MindSide who brings a passion for understanding how to gain competitive advantages as part of early athletic experiences, through proper structure and coaching of athletes. As a former competitive athlete, Meighan understands the need for proper mental skills training from program implementation, instead of waiting until athletes feel it is needed.
Meighan earned an undergraduate degree in Psychology from Auburn University, where she worked with the men's basketball program, from coaches to athletes and administrative personnel. She went on to earn a Master's in Science degree in Sports Psychology and Motor Behavior from the University of Tennessee, focusing on foundations for elite mental performance among athletes across the life span. During her time in Tennessee, Meighan worked with the men's golf team. She also served as a coach for two girls teams for a local preparatory school, applying her training as a mental coach with that of serving as a coach to maximize performance and athletic development.
Meighan is passionate about coaching development and program implementation, as well as developing the athlete's competitive mindset. From her own experiences as a competitive athlete to serving as a coach to her educational background with the principles of human performance, Meighan will help those athletes who are looking to gain a mental edge.
From <http://www.themindside.com/meighan-julbert/>
Check out Meighan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxH8A4c4OhYgMH70uhu4cHg
Here are a few of my favorite quotes from her videos:
"Everything you do determines how well you're going to play."
"Be prepared for the times you're going to struggle."
Meighan talks about challenges and specifically how at practice physically and mentally is what helps you learn to compete. How we teach our beginners and our elite athletes should be "what is the mental state like at practice?" Meighan talks about how those small skill work and details that go into perfect swimming and perfect practice is never as fun or interesting as competition or racing. She suggests that we use fun challenging yet achievable tasks to build interest and excitement for those small detail repetitive activities. This ties perfectly into the last episode of the Swimming Ideas Podcast, Episode 056 where I talk about using challenges inside of lessons to reset mental interest. However, Meighan is suggesting that we use challenges to help teach those specific skills like streamlining.
Maybe we add point values to successful streamlines and the lane with the most points at the end of a set get a reward. Add a layer of competition or difficulty to your activities to help boost engagement.
We also talk about how failure and struggling are some of the best opportunities for an individual to learn. We review how we can allow it to happen in a trusting safe environment during practice and how the coach can handle failure during a swim meet.
We look at praising the effort and Meighan gives us some guides on how to phrase our words for disappointed athletes.
Praise the effort. Praise the mental preparation. Meighan talks about Michael Phelps and his struggle with water in his goggles. He used envisioning techniques to prepare for the possibility of a championship event and having water in his goggles.
This is a reoccurring theme in these interviews: focus on the one thing. Karis Mount from episode 055 talks about 'the one thing' and how her coach gave her a specific thing to work on at practice. Meighan Julbert is talking today about the 2 or 3 things that you need to be successful. We're seeing this crop up again and again: be concise, be direct, and limit your directions to 1-2 items. When your swimmer is behind the blocks or on the bench about the do an activity, guide their focus on the one or two most essential things. Avoid overloading them with a wide range of details that are not important. My coaching go to: kick. We talk about a strong focused kick, and I aim their mind and moving their legs. I do this because I know they have the habits of streamline, flip turns, and breathing down. Meighan validates how we should acknowledge the effort and the response to challenges on an individual athlete basis. Make note of how she talks about the 'riptide.'
Pay attention to when Meighan talks about how as teachers we need to remember that our athletes are people first. That each individual athlete is at a different level and requires a unique approach.
Our challenge, our difficulty as Aquatic Professionals is how do we keep those simple things entertaining and interesting?
That is the primary goal of Swimming Ideas; how do we train our staff and our coaches to teach simple difficult specific swim techniques in a fun and effective way?
"The parents just don't get it." We need to be proactive evangelists of our goals and coaching. I ask Meighan how we can handle difficult parents, and her answer is really about how we should be dealing with all of the parents involved in our swim programs. The answer is simple:
Communicate early and often with the parents.
Meighan mentions how the parents are extremely influential in their swimmer's success, and in the presence of a void (no coach or instructor communication), the parents will fill it with what they think is correct. They may be working against your plan and against your flow because they don't know any better. If instead, we set up a parent meeting at the beginning of a season, at the beginning of swim lessons we can fill in those gaps with information we want the parents to have and act on.
We talk about how the coach's and instructor's voice should be present and consistent. We recommend that you engage your parents using the medium that they are most responsive to. Some audiences will be email focused, others will use facebook or twitter. Find the avenue that gets the most response and gets in front of the most eyes, and use it. Meighan suggests that you follow a regular pattern whether it is every week, two weeks, or monthly and stick to it. Provide consistent communication with your athletes and parents and you'll provide a cohesive directed teaching environment that will be reinforced by the parents.

Update: What Landlords Need to Know About Screening Tenants
Posted by Ryan Howard on Fri, Dec 09, 2016
Landlords must follow regulated processes when choosing tenants for their properties. The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) protects consumers from inaccurate information and allows the ability to dispute false claims. If a property owner chooses to screen potential tenants, and if they work with consumer reporting agencies or other companies who provide information about tenants to property owners, these regulations must be followed. In late November 2016, the Federal Trade Commission issued new guidance with regards to tenant screening.
Here's an update on what landlords need to know about screening tenants.
Why Screen Tenants?
In order to protect your property, current tenants or property management employees, tenant screening is highly recommended. Background information from screening can include credit history, criminal history and past rental history.
Some questions and concerns about potential tenants may be:
- Are they able to pay rent on time?
- Do they have recent criminal convictions and/or will they be a threat to my property and other tenants?
- What was their payment history at previous rental properties?
- Is this person who they say they are?
See also: Which Background Checks Are Best for Tenant Screening?
Where to Obtain Tenant Screening?
According to the FCRA, landlords and property owners are legally not allowed to obtain a background check on an individual unless they have "permissible purpose" or a valid reason for gathering such information. The tenant must also have signed an separate and clearly-stated authorization form consenting to a background check.
Partnering with an FCRA certified background check provider is necessary to obtain tenant screens while staying compliant with the new FTC guidance. The new guidance requires that screening companies follow these guidelines:
- Follow reasonable procedures to ensure accuracy.
- Get certifications (of permissible purpose) from your clients.
- Provide your clients with information about the FCRA.
- Honor the rights of applicants and tenants.
When landlords choose adverse action, or not to rent, they must notify the tenants that a negative decision has been reached due to the results of a background check. The tenant must also be given the name of the company that supplied the background screening information and a summary of their rights under the FCRA. They will then be given time to dispute any inaccuracies or false-positives from the background check.
By following the new FTC guidance, screening providers are ensuring that landlords and property owners stay compliant with the FCRA regulations and "honor" the rights of those who are applying to rent properties.
What Happens when Non-Compliant?
Property owners and landlords who are not compliant with the FCRA guidance may face penalties and possible litigation from tenants. Common non-compliance mistakes are:
- Not including a background screening consent form as part of the application
- Discriminating against applicants due to arrest without conviction records in their criminal history
- Not following the correct adverse action procedures or other common tenant screening compliance processes
Landlords who screen their tenants are only as compliant as the consumer reporting agencies, background check companies or any other company that provides information. Stay informed and choose the right partner who follows the new FTC regulations and who helps landlords adhere to the boundaries of FCRA compliance.

There are great series and movies for every genre but the one that skips this is horror.
Literally there are no good horror anime and the only one that comes close to the horror genre that is good might be Monster.
There is not a single one that is actually scary.
Also the shitty attempt that is Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu is not scary in the least either.
Because horror is a shit genre.
Boogiepop Phantom isn't scary but I think it works well as an atmospheric horror, which is the best kind of horror anyways.
And just how the fuck do you making something animated and colorful like anime into horror retard?
The only thing horror about that is the horrible animation.
plenty of konaka shows have had horror elements
looks like a well fed shinji, that in itself is horror
can western animation do horror either?
animation in general just isn't "real" enough to be very scary/unsettling
>How do you make anything that are just textures on 3d models horrible in video games
gee I dunno through good plot and cinematography
There is plenty of good manga though.
I also look like a well fed Shinji.
what does videogames have to do with this?
yami shibai
that a medium does not have to be in film to have horror and that there must be an anime out there that is actually scary and if not why because coloring has little to do with it.
Yeah, you're right. You're going to have to read manga if you're looking for some good horror.
Kiseijuu isn't supposed to be scary.
Done really well
The Sci;Adv series legitimately had some tense-spooky moments in it, like when Okabe gets that text or when Kai is hunting around that abandoned building that Airi was in.
>if not why
There's little demand for horror anime.
>animated stuff are not as scary as realistic looking one in real movies
Gee, who could have thought.
Fuck off.
>thinly-veiled recommendation thread
Not much good for anything if it can't convey fear or horror. Must really be for kids.
plenty of anime have done perfectly fine horror scenes, it just appears that there's not much of a demand for a pure horror anime. sucks since I would watch it if it existed but that's just the way it is
The horror genre itself is a piece of shit genius. They all rely on jump scares now rather than pacing
Have you even watched Shoujo Tsubaki?
>I only watch action movies and jerk off while posting objectively wrong opinions
I think you need to head back to your special needs class
Holy fuck, the part where Okabe gets the text in the supermarket was actually legitimately freaky. The combination of suspense alongside motherfuckin' fear of the unknown was perfect.
but yeah that's really the only spooky anime scene I can think of
He's not wrong though. Straight up horror is usually really shit and relies on stuff like that to scare people. Going off of western films there's only a handful of good/decent ones and the rest are just shitty and unoriginal. As far as I know there aren't many good horror anime but they seem to do thriller/mystery/supernatural type stuff with horror elements pretty well like >>121869878 mentioned
Watch Pupa
God fuck damn shit cock motherfucking cunt bitch hell. Why did I open that. I can't unsee that. This is freaking me out anon. Fuck you. This is why I don't read horror manga.
If you go in without knowing anything about it, Higurashi is pretty fucking scary the first time you watch it. Specially the first time you see Rena going yan.
As for manga, Fuan no Tane does horror better than most things in any medium.
Rena going yan
turned me on
I don't believe it.
When she's
knocking on Keiichi's door going uso daI had to turn the lights on.
>Nechronica: The Long, Long Sequel
Give this some time and attention. Nechronica is a DnD-like game where you play as zombie lolis after the apocalypse has already happened. Lots of room for creativity and story shit. Read the guide if you want to know more:
Hopefully, if people catch onto it, which they probably won't because it's "too loli-guro-ish," or whatever. However, if it gets enough of a fanbase, fanart, and other bullshit, it just may lead into a series or even a new era in the horror genera.
Still, it gives me the vibes of something like Corpse Party, except with way, way more potential for stories because that's essentially what it was created to do.
(I hate this site, but...) http://megrim-haruyo.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=0
You guys are shitlords you obviously have never heard of Elfen Lied.
The first arc was pretty good, you could really feel the paranoia
>it's "too loli-guro-ish," or whatever
Isn't that exactly what it is?
>Hyperdimension Nechronica
I can get behind this.
neat, will look at it
Saw first few episodes and got turned off at how cheesy it was, how can anyone like that.
>how can anyone like that
well, you see, when you're 13 years of age...
Been a while since my last dose of Tane
>These new generation plebs who confuse fear for horror validating the jumpscare and gore trends of modern horror.
The fuck out my genre with your shit opinions. If you want to be mindlessly scared, go play in traffic.
Yeah, had a friend of mine tell me that. I absolutely love the concept and I'm thinking of doing some character designs based around it. I'm just hoping that it can get around so people at least know about it.
Ghost Slide was pretty damn spooky.
I don't know if you guys are being serious or not. Higurashi wasn't even a little scary. It was damn near comical.
Go tell /tg/.
Though meh, they'll most likely hate it- Too "magical realm" for them.
I think I would have loved Higurashi if it didn't reboot the atmosphere every few episodes.
The fanservice driven slice of life episodes were just increasingly awkward after the traumatic reveal in the first story arc.
See, this is what's wrong with people. This is why things like Silent Hill stay pretty niche. Subtle horror where the scares are done right and jump scares/gore are conservatively used are almost always the best.
It's about the fear of something happening, not something happening. And when something does happen, it had better be fucking shocking.
>*tips fedora*
>Ghost Slide
Fuck you.
Having nightmares tonight as well...
There was a normal-sized thread for it on /tg/ earlier this week. I wanted to bring it up to /a/ because I thought that the concept, the artwork, and the story have some serious potential.
What about Yami Shibai?
It's hit and miss but sometimes delivers some pretty good stories.
Try Betterman.
it was more of a thriller than a horror series for me
There's a thin line between horror and comedy.
Junji Ito's always a good choice for horror, but I do wish there were a lot more writers on his tier, but with different styles.
>when you're 13 years of age
Let's face it. The vast majority of us got into this shit through some of the corniest anime in history.
Plenty of manga but just a few of them getting animated. I guess no one is really buying them.
I recommend some Satoshi Kon. Perfect Blue, if you're looking for a thriller.
Paranoia Agent if you're up for something weird.
Agreed. It's a shame when good psychological stories get overlooked for noisy gore-fests.
I hope you're not implying that GASHUNK was good horror.
Speak for yourself.
I was immersed in the animus from the youngest of childhoods.
It's a good thing the west is retarded and went for a long time saying how "japanese cartoons are all satanic". Otherwise I wouldn't have known that my favorite ones, from Mazinger to Speed Racer to Dragon Ball and Saint Seiya to Slam Dunk and more, were from japan.
Real horror needs 3D lighting.
It was actually more of a comedy to me.
Just giving an animated example.
YOu want something scary, look at taxes.
Some of the manga arcs were illustrated to be terrifically scary, like your example.
Gigantic Formula chara design is more creepy than any attempt at horror in animu.
I liked this. It had good atmosphere. Too bad horror manga always gets live actions other than anime.
Horror is not meant to be screams and jump scares, or showing you ugly monsters and gross violence. That's just a cheap excuse western movies do, because it's easy.
A horror movie is not supposed to try and scare the viewer in the real world - thereby ejecting the viewer from the movie. It needs to build anxiety and be immersive at the same time.
The other thing is, that horror is usually done in movies. You can't expect to keep that up for ling, and can't let the viewer stand up after 20 minutes, and try to get the same effect one week later for another 20 minutes.
Because anime is mostly series, it will never be completely horror, it will have horror elements at most. When anime sometimes does it for a scene or episode, it's much better than the western gore and jump scares of the past 10 years.
they never attempted too baka
What the fuck are you talking about?
Kiseijuu is competely out of this genre. It's not even trying to be horror.
What is BakeNeko arc and Mononoke?
Agreed. That ending scene with that reporter trying to get an interview from Keiichi about what happened to everyone was great.
The Footsteps Are Back...
I just wish the mood-whiplash of the build-up was handled differently after it was already obvious that something was wrong with the town.
Great stuff.
I think he wanted to be scared by contents not lack of quality.
Corpse Party.
>inb4 shit tier posting
>tried reverse image search
>Suspected child abuse content has been removed from this page. Report child abuse content.
oh jesus what
Ghost Hound anyone? I don't understand why know one ever speaks about this in horror threads. Though the ending didn't fit to the whole series, the overall atmosphere was great.
>dat abandoned mall ep
LMAO @ all those niggers confusing horror and thrillers.
Horror is supposed to gross you out so much it scares you. How are you gonna be grossed out by "immersiveness" and "tension"?
I liked it for many reasons, but the horror wasn't one.
it's pretty colors and pretty character designs in a really comfy atmosphere.
Not trying to belittle it, but it ain't horror.
Maybe it's just impossible to achieve, With certain restrictions in I doubt they can go to far with killings and such so they have to dumb it down.
I mean who picks up anime to watch a good horror anyway.
>Horror is supposed to gross you out so much it scares you.
Go read Lovecraft.
No thanks I'll keep it at The Thing, Alien, and old Cronenberg movies.
You know, the stuff "horror elitists" hypocritically hold as the pinnacle of the horror genre.
Animation can only be creepy.
It can never be scary. Deal with it.
Only way an anime would ever be scary is if you just downloaded an anime and midway. the subs post your real name and starts talking to you in response to to your reaction being called out by the anime.
>Anime cannot into horror
Once again, perfect blue
that's not being scared that's just being #NOIDED
Clicked that image and Nope'd the fuck out. Fuck Alien Greys, they scare the shit out of me.
The Thing isn't scary because it's gross and neither is Alien. The Thing is held up as a great horror movie because it plays on paranoia and uncertainty, and Alien is held up as a great horror movie because it has one of the most unsettling monster designs in history and plays on isolation and the fear of being hunted. Both movies are heavily Lovecraft influenced by the way, specifically from Mountains of Madness.
Cronenberg literally does body horror, the gross factor is on purpose.
Also see the orginal Halloween, where there's maybe 2 drops of blood in the entire movie, it still scared the shit out of people back in the day.
You don't know anything.
The Thing and Parasyte play on my greatest fear, that of something unknowable lurking among us, disguised. Although Parasyte doesn't do it as well, but that's only because we get explanations and perspective from the Parasite's side.
Because animation is less scarier than live action since you are more aware that it is an illusion. And since it isn't interactive like a video game there isn't the same level as immersion.
Since a great bulk of anime is done in series, a studio is required to provide at least 12 episodes and 5 hours of non-stop thrills. That is very hard to do, thus the spooky things tend to be movies and the series tend to be no more than drama. However if most of these supposed horror series were rehashed as movies they would be praised rather than shunned. Imagine if Hell Girl was an actual demon instead of a waifu.
spoilering pic because it's really bumming me out and I can't tell if it's just me
It also has traps.
Some episodes of Mushishi creeped me out. Just the sheer inevitability of some of the things that occurred was scary in its own way.
>Attempt at being scary
You are fucking stupid.
Listen to this anon.
good atmosphere, bad story
But I love Hell Girl
Are the later seasons after season 1 worth a watch?
Horror doesn't sell and being episodic doesn't help
My only memory of having horror suspense feeling from an anime were from some episodes of Shinsekai Yori
>Horror doesn't sell and being episodic doesn't help
It's really a shame, because the era of AYAOTD, Goosebumps and TFTCrypt allowed for some of the most interesting short writing for live action shows. The acting was never great, but the ideas were pretty solid.
Now we're stuck with a bunch Sitcoms or Dramas where all that keeps the show running is gags or an actor with a face. Not everything's terrible and generic though. While nothing entirely new in of themselves Breaking Bad and GoT allow for some variety.
Anyway what I'm getting at though is I think if Paranoia Agent and Goosebumps could do it then it's not entirely impossible but as you said the time for it being successful enough to bother has come and gone.
The thing I didn't like about Ghost Hound was the art-style, and it's the only anime I would make that complaint about.
Ghost Hound would have been far more atmospheric and engaging if it had a more realistic style, something like Lain's for example. I felt it seriously detracted from the mood and stopped me from enjoying scenes I felt sure would have been engaging otherwise. Pic related is an example, could have been creepy-surreal instead of ridiculous. Everything else, like the music, was spot on.
>pic related
I think an episodic horror anime could work if they picked the right source material.
Personally, I would really like to see a Goosebumps or Tales from the Crypt style anime based on the works on Junji Ito.
I liked the atmosphere but the story and pacing was so meh overall.
Monster had some pretty good creepy moments.
Like that one part where Johan is just fucking casually walking down the street in a garden and looks at Tenma looking at him through the binoculars.
I don't know about anime but reading Fuan No Tane late in the night made me really paranoid about little things
>Not one mention of Shiki
Really? It's easily the best horror anime out there.
S2 was shit though. They replaced the director and writers and apparently didn't see what could possibly go wrong.
It's not fucking horror, idiot.
Hair, Zanbai, and the Tormentor were pretty much god-tier in terms of horror
This manga was scary enough to make me paranoid for a few days.
It was so good, I wasn't afraid of the dark since I was a kid before I read it, but after I read it, 5 or so years ago, I became afraid of the dark again. Still am.
There was actually an anime that scared me once, ghost hunt or something if i remember correctly, it involved bathtub and blood if i am not wrong.
Ayakashi's first part (Oiwa) is pretty good horror, actually.
Ayakashi part 3 (Bakeneko) and Mononoke are damn good, but not as good in the horror department as Oiwa.
>Monster had some pretty good creepy moments
Monster is one of the creepiest and disturbing anime I've ever seen. I wonder if HBO could do it any justice sine most of their shows are vilence horror.... Carnville was nice though.
Are there any other anime that are similar to Monster?
And they're all from the first season, yeah. I loved the first season, which just made S2 all the more disappointing.
That said, my favourite episode was The Next Floor.
Shiki had absolutely great atmosphere and suspense for the first couple of episodes but slowly lost it until the finale just went insane.
A lot time was pointlessly spent with the side character. Those teenagers looking around might have been suspenseful in literature format but watching it was just boring.
And that one stoic motherfucker who doesn't talk and pretends he's so cool assface.
The fact that the anime had to kill him and make him even more special (turning him into a werewolf or whatever it's called when it's apparently insanely rare) just made me hate him more.
That fucking ost though.
It's the only ost that comes close to Higurashi, both the anime and VN, that can be creepy just be listening to it.
Good shit.
Shiki is great once you get over the ridiculous hair.
I disagree regarding the show's progression. The tone progresses accordingly with the story, and it stays consistently horror throughout. It's just that it changes in the manner that it's presented. In the first half, the horror comes from the unknown, the monsters picking people off and the fear building throughout. In the second half, the fear comes from the known; knowing how now that the cat's out of the bag the scenario is escalating and the insanity is very much a horrific end result of that. It's similar to The Mist, which is just about the only Stephen King story I could stand, where the horrific setting gives way to the horror of humanity rather than inhumanity.
I certainly didn't like the ending, but it did a fine job of continuing to horrify me while telling a mostly decent story.
Also, the fact that the doctor goes through every scientific process one by one before accepting the supernatural was brilliant.
The fact that the anime didn't show the vampire and left the viewer in the dark about what was causing everyone to die was pretty well done.
I really wonder if they can pull it off it they do it.
Anime is good because animation can do whatever you want it to look at which has a leg over movies/shows in general. Not to mention shading in general makes things much more suspenseful and the HBO show won't have that.
It's funny because a friend of mine refused to watch the Monster in its entirety even though he loves suspense shows and said that it would make for a good live action since it's mostly realistic.
This caught me so off guard. Scariest sequence I have ever seen.
I agree with you, I just find that the second part wasn't as suspenseful as the beginning.
I'd have to rewatch it to get a better feel for why I didn't completely like it but I remember it was because of the damn teenagers.
>It's similar to The Mist, which is just about the only Stephen King story I could stand, where the horrific setting gives way to the horror of humanity rather than inhumanity
The Mist was a very good story because the horror within was almost as horrible as the horror outside of the store. It's cliche but it's still pretty good when done right. And that ending...
>And that ending...
I don't remember how the book ended, but I found the movie's ending incredibly contrived.
I watched it since /a/ kept raving about it, but it was literally Jump Scare: The Budget Edition, complete with sudden volume changes. The vocaloid ED was also really unfitting.
My favorite spooky scene in Shiki was related picture.
The movie's ending was different from the book apparently. I think that the people in the car go in the mist and it ends like that.
The movie director didn't like the book's ending and changed it.
Although it's true that the whole ''ahhh come on, if they had just waited a minute it would have been fine. Why did have to do that?'' criticism is valid, it's pretty cool that humanity overcame the apocalypse.
Like, fuck you horror, this is humanity, we're going to fuck you because we will persevere in the end.
I don't really know how else you could have ended that movie.
That ending song though.
That moment the tank comes in, you can just feel it in your heart.
The music at that ending was just perfect, even if the ending was somewhat contrived.
>it's pretty cool that humanity overcame the apocalypse.
>Like, fuck you horror, this is humanity, we're going to fuck you because we will persevere in the end.
I dunno man, humanity was fighting, but the ending also showed there was some pretty big shit out there to deal with.
Can manga achieve horror without resorting to disgusting imagery?
yes, i am agree with this one. For me, The Thing & Alien is not scary. The reason is, i can "kill" it.
Cannot "kill" is my fear.
Gore isn't horror, you trisomic
Kiseiju never attempted to be horrorific, the gore aspect is there for a sense of dread, not to make you shit your pants.
But yeah, anime can't into horror unless they actually try to make something less anime-ish.
Watch Yamishibai on Crunchyroll, I don't think narutards fansubbers have tried their hand at it anyway
After how many times I've seen this, I just noticed she stuck a fish in one of her holes. That's amusing.
I like it because it's not every day you see humanity just kicking the ass of the unknown.
It's somewhat uplifting.
Everyone would have likely done like the people in the car.
''How can humanity overcome such horrors? The world is fucked, time to just shoot myself.''
Which I always found funny since people have an instinct to survive but lose all hope once they don't see any reason to move on.
And this movie just goes ''fuck your shit, humanity will find a way''.
It's probably what would happen in real life.
I just think people want horror to win more than humanity overcoming the impossible odds for some reason.
Higurashi's manga did horror well without being disgusting.
Though people bitched that it wasn't scary because it wasn't disgusting. Go figure.
The Alien in Alien was scary because you couldn't know if you could kill it.
Hell, you don't even know if it died in the vacuum of space. Not to mention the movie isn't only scary because of the aliens.
The Space Jockey is also scary as fuck.
This big ass 20 foot tall giant dead in his seat is scary as fuck because it shows the unknown of space and how small we are.
>>Thee spread pages with nothing change apart the "when you see it"
That shit was awesome
I don't scare easily but I found some scenes in Over the Garden Wall to be very unsettling
The example here is a guro manga
Guro doesn't come from "Gore", but from "Grotesque". It's something you're supposed to watch, be disgusted but then just say "That's fucking dumb".
Horror well done plays on the ambient, the mystery, the unknown and it's definitvely not easy to pull off correctly.
So yeah, don't try for guro if you're looking for tense subtle ambient, guro is as stupid as a jumpscare on that aspect.
>The fanservice driven slice of life episodes were just increasingly awkward after the traumatic reveal in the first story arc.
It's kinda of the point.
You absolutely need the happy moment fanservice episodes or else you wouldn't care about the characters.
The one downside to the manga in my opinion is that it didn't drag too much in the fanservice like the VN does.
You have fun with friends and then you don't know if those said friends are going to kill you.
Then everything is back to normal and you question what the fuck is going on.
At the third episode, Higurashi fucks with you with the idea of ''another K1'' experiencing the past episodes even though he was somewhere else.
Without the happy times, it wouldn't be able to do that.
Everything in Higurashi, even the happy times, is made to give you paranoia.
It's genius.
Off the top of my head the only western cartoons I can think of that I found unsettling was Bill Plympton's stuff. And they're mostly comedy anyway, so it probably wasn't intentional.
Higurashi is so good.
Stupid jumpscare perhaps, but I think what made that comic so effective was the way it suddenly wrenched control away from you and forced you through the scare scene without being able to stop it (effectively, anyway). It's a hard hit for the people who would inch down slowly because they're too apprehensive to go on.
>this 4 year old girl greets you at midnight, in the middle of the road, when the telephone lines are cut
Japanese are big fans of Lovecraftian psychological horror, the fear of the unseen and such. It never translates well into a visual medium, just look at the movies they made off Lovecraft novels
Err, "the example here" was wrong.
I meant to day "your example". Guro manga is usually just gross and made for the shock value Look at Waita Uziga's shit. Some Junji Ito sadlyy fall into that, like Gyo, with death fart-powered machines.
Junji Ito's best work still is Black Paradox, it feels so different from his other comics.
As for the korean webcomics, the genius part is that it uses actual horror.
In Alien or The Thing, you know the enemy is completely unkillable, you're powerless and you won't be able to escape.
These comics use something similar, by hijacking the use of a mechanic everyone is familiar with (a browser) and forcing you to watch some unsettling animation you have no control on.
Under the creepy animation or the jumpscare, that korean dude actually gave some thought over what would be creepy while using a web browser, and that's why that page is brilliant.
Funny enough, Ryukishi never read any Lovecraft.
kek. best reply.
underrated post
>tfw watching it for the first time on comicnaver
i did not expect sound
I had nightmares about when Asakura stabbed Kyon in the movie.
Season 2's OST has some spooky music on it too.
Her walking into the classroom as though nothing was wrong was more spooky.
Or at least, it tried to be spooky.
horror is shit anyway, it literally only works on some people. for me that am so used to watching fiction, nothing in movies really scares me anymore since I always have that "it's not real" mentality
You sound like a pretentious faggot
That's not even from horror manga
You mean that horror is shit for you.
No shit it's fucking cartoons
Ito´s manga is one of the scariest shit I´ve ever seen. Imagine if Ito worked on silent hill.
Why they were goddamn babies? It could have been something great, but every time something happens they turn into floating babies.
I know it's just my autism speaking but goddammit
Are there any horror VNs better than Saya no Uta?
Good news for you >>121873396
Konaka Chiaki writes the script for Shishou Series. It originally start from 2ch
>The story of the original novels revolves around a protagonist (played by Takasugi in the project) who experiences various spiritual encounters due to his upperclassman at his college's club, the "master teacher" in the series title that has spiritual sensitivity.
I said better.
And I did.
This activated my trypophobia pretty bad
Vampires =/= horror.
Shiki is a terrible anime, the only scene taht came to being spooky was when vampire Pink Girl entered Edgemaster's room. The vampires themselves looked so shit that they wouldn't even fit in Phantom Blood as bizarre vampires.
Dark Blue. Sayooshi.
This fucking scene. Made me jump out my chair while reading it. I'm a pussy sure, but that build up was good
>Dark Blue.
Shock gore isn't good horror.
The first time I fapped to this I felt like I had actually achieved something.
This shit was genuinely scary.
I couldn't find it scary because she was too attractive.
not so scary I think, but still, it's decent.
>It's probably what would happen in real life.
If the unknown turned out to be Earth wildlife, but slightly crazier, then yeah sure.
To see what happens when an actual unknown horror comes forth, see In The Mouth of Madness.
>I just think people want horror to win more than humanity overcoming the impossible odds for some reason.
Humanity overcoming impossible odds is not horror. If your horror story ends with "we shot them until they died, and then the status quo was restored, bar a couple dead ppls" then it's not a horror story, it will just have horror elements.
It's just violent.
Very true my friend, good horror cripples your thoughts with What ifs when you lay alone in the dark at night.
I have not seen a scary movie since I was 10. Please enlighten me to what movies are actually scary.
Give this a try, it's rather eerie.
I don't know if it's just my taste is narrow, but generally I really like documentary style horror like the Blair Witch or The last exorcism.
The shaky and noisy video quality seems just so fucking real. Even though you can't perfectly see the details, you can still visualize something scary behind those blurry frames.
Fucking blair witch.
On the topic, I don't think anime after 2000 can be good horror, since the color scheme they choose is always bright. What I find hilarious is some filler episode in a SoL could have better horror element than shit like Another.
I hope his next title does some. Some of those one shots are fantastic.
>Humanity overcoming impossible odds is not horror.
I know. It isn't horror if the known can destroy the unknown.
I just find it interesting that horror must be completely untouchable by natural forces.
>you will never be as scared as when you were a kid, wanting to go to the bathroom but being afraid that the mirrors would suck your soul to hell
I believe that people want to experience the fear as when we were children.
The Blair Witch was a stupid and shit movie.
Yeah my friend find the Blair Witch sleepy too.
I'd argue that you could classify manga like Blam! and PunPun as horror with their respective genres, they both position you in incredibly sad situations that could happen to you if you were to make the same mistakes.
If you have not read punpun, don't unspoiler pic related or it's impact will be diminished.
Banshee Chapter is a fairly recent release and one of the scariest films I've ever seen, despite being American. Aside from that I really haven't seen any good horror movies for a long time; most of the good asian horror films came out over eight years ago. I certainly haven't heard of any newer films being praised or recommended.
Aiko did nothing wrong.
I just wanted her to be happy.
In all honesty Fatalframe made it impossible for me to feel safe around mirrors in the dark and I could not do it when I was fifteen because of how much it scared me.
Fatal Frame 3 is still the only game where I've repeatedly had to pause it and put it down because I was too frightened to continue on.
But it's clearly not horror.
Also, if you like documentary style horror, go watch REC.
There's the shitty american version, Quarantine, but it's shit.
fatal frame 2 remake.
I don't know if The Borderlands/Final Prayer would be sp00by enough for you but I can pretty much guarantee that the ending will have an impact. One of the best horror movies I've ever seen and one that does found footage right.
>I just find it interesting that horror must be completely untouchable by natural forces.
Not necessarily, you can make horror without any supernatural elements in it. The guy chasing you is mortal, but good luck killing him. That sort of thing.
Even existential horror can feature mortal unknown, as was the case in the sci-fi novel Blindsight.
It's when your mortal antagonists are literally just spooky looking animals or spooky humans with spooky guns that it all falls apart.
Grave Encounters was also pretty decent, for an American movie. The sequel was actually even better than the first, in a bizarre reversal of horror tradition.
That's not an anime.
And the remake was shit.
The art style worked much better for Jigoku Shoujo.
But i wouldn't call that horror either.
And it wasn't that good either. Pic related for one of the few truly great episodes.
Thanks for posting this, I was looking for it
>The guy chasing you is mortal, but good luck killing him. That sort of thing.
Right, but it feels like he's supernatural is what I mean.
>It's when your mortal antagonists are literally just spooky looking animals or spooky humans with spooky guns that it all falls apart.
Of course, it's all in the buildup and execution.
>YOu want something scary, look at the usurpation of the internet.
Seconding this quadding gentleman, ghost hunt was pretty scary for me back in the days
>Not necessarily, you can make horror without any supernatural elements in it. The guy chasing you is mortal, but good luck killing him. That sort of thing.
I find as I get older that I'm less scared by movies about ghosts and monsters and more by things like the absolute psychopath found in Dread.
>First two arcs are mostly lighthearted and mystery-focused
>Then the haunted mansion arc
>That fucking finale
I used to be scared by ghost and monsters because I thought they were real. Movies were just people's imagination on how these sorts of Monsters would fuck up people who met them.
I always found psychopath to just be weird people. And serial killers are just not like in the movies or tv shows.
Maybe it's because I've studied up on all the serial killers throughout history that I'm just jaded.
Like, for example, the Night Stalker creeped me out as a kid but I just feel nothing anymore.
Now I'm just not scared of either Monsters, Ghost or psychopaths and it's a sad feeling.
i agree
Theres to many real things out there to be worried about then to waste time on imaginary nightmares, such as Naegleria.
I'm much more worried about my neighbors who might try to blow up the whole place if they get royally pissed off.
I prefer to be scared of imaginary nightmares.
>Naegleria fowleri
>infection rarely occurs
>95% mortality rate
Except you know it won't happen.
When you deduce every possible outcome, things become less scary.
Maybe it's the reason I still yearn for supernatural horror but that's just me.
Notice a show like Courage The Cowardly Dog's only scary scenes are when it switches to 3D (the girl playing the violin that turns around, You're Not Perfect, King Ramses). As someone else said, horror needs 3d lighting.
Read manga instead.
That's the thing with the zombies, right?
I found it slightly decent for a zombie story but pretty mediocre overall.
Boogiepop was eerie as fuck. The creepy atmosphere and the washed out colors did it.
Whenever japan tries to make horror that depends on liniar plots and that clearly stays within genre boundaries, it fails miserably ("Another", anymore?)
But when focused on mystery and atmposphere, great things can happen. Boogiepop. Lain, Texhnolyze, Mononoke...
Doomed Megalopolis had some pretty spooky scenes
I think this is I Am A Hero, and IAAH is actually comedy with some spooky moments. I was laughing all the way.
Another doesn't count. It's basically Final Destination in 2D.
So what you're saying is "bad horror is bad".
>I think this is I Am A Hero
Right, that's the name.
Yeah, if seen as a comedy, it's pretty hilarious. There's a lot of really stupid shit in it.
>zombies fighting each other via martial arts
>that one zombie at the beginning biting the MC with him wondering why she's doing that
>refusing being given a blowjob
>that whole introduction before the apocalypse where the MC is such a fucking idiot
>everyone not having a gun because Japan is strict on its anti-weapon program even though you'd think the Yakuza would have a million illegal guns lying around if that sort of shit happened.
I personally just dropped it after the transition to that group. It was just boring.
Apparently it went retarded so meh.
To be fair AFAIK the Yakuza don't need to have guns everywhere anymore since quite some time now.
>Not liking I am A hero because it's not generic american zombie shit
jesus christ what are you even doing here? i am a hero is fantastic and you have the shittiest taste, fuck off
I'd watch the animated version of the "Ghost Stories/Tales from Japan" series.
They finally realized a disarmed populace is easy enough to depredate without 'em?
Blair Witch was shit.
>Oh, we're lost innawoods.
>muh map, where's muh map
>waaah, I want to carry the map!
>the rocks are piled up
>the rocks are moved
>we're walking in circles
>nothing happens!
Only documentary style I've actually found scary were the youtubes of the Paris and Odessa catacombs.
How shit can one man's taste be? The blair wich is the best horror film ever made.
Dude, being better than the average doesn't give it a pass.
I judge things on their own.
This why I get pissed whenever anyone says ''oh well, this anime is good because it's better than the average anime''.
As thought that even fucking meant anything.
There are a lot of things I like about it like still having the monsters being somewhat like zombies but being their own thing. Like it still following the rules of being bitten yet them being super zombies whenever the plot requires it and seeing the inner workings of how they think but it's not really a great story.
I like the bit where a zombie tries to bite the MC but she doesn't have any teeth so he doesn't get inflected.
That was cute and it's a wonder why no one else has done this.
But overall? I'm not impressed by it.
acquire some taste then
>I like the bit where a zombie tries to bite the MC but she doesn't have any teeth so he doesn't get inflected.
>That was cute and it's a wonder why no one else has done this.
I'm pretty sure I've seen that in a few different stories.
>The blair wich is the best horror film ever made.
What the fuck are you talking about?
Really? Damn.
Explain why it's good without comparing it and I'd be tempted to get better taste.
Me too but I honestly can't recall it in any zombie stories.
Mafia generally don't need guns to do something to the populace, they need them to kill each other.
But they still arm themselves.
Try Fuan no Tane. You'll get paranoid and always look behind you when reading this.
Maybe horror just is silly as a concept and that's why it is not that easy to replicate. But Ghost Hound did it right IMO. It actually felt menacing at times.
So what are the god tier horror manga then?
Monster was brilliant of course. Homunculus is one of the best manga of all time.
What else?
Fuan no Tane
Homunculus isn't really horror though.
This is really the point of this manga, makes you paranoid about everything in daily life.
Also, Monster isn't a horror manga.
Heck, it's not even a horror story, it's a suspense and thriller story.
>Over the Garden Wall
mah nigga
In all seriousness, Elfen Lied is just dark, that's it. Darkness isn't used as a medium to deliver a message or even to tell a good story. It's just dark, sometimes, and that's it.
Some parts of Chaos;Head VN had good horror, but obviously didn't adapt well into the anime. I think the first person perspective really helps VNs in that regard.
You could argue that there's some horror aspect in Elfen Lied.
It's just not well executed.
There's more than one definition of horror, disgusting horror is one type of horror theme. Not specifically intended to be horror inducing, but make you legitimately feel disgusted.
>mfw Ito's Glyceride spaghetti face part
>Literally there is one good horror anime
Fixed for you.
I agree with what you said except for Ayakashi's BakeNeko.
That arc is horror/thriller done right.
Courage the cowardly dog
even if it was black comedy most of the time, any time it did horror it did it well.
nothing that is non interactive cannot into horror
Only videogames and literature can do horror because "Its scarier in your head" is true, and you are much more invested in a book with your imagination and the interactive nature of a video game immerses you into its world, making them the only generes that horror can work, when done right
Movies, Anime, Songs, TV shows, all just cannot scare you because they are all non interactive and non immersive media
The anime called Gyo was pretty good.
Eh I think it's a lot more effective with animation. In non-animated films, the actual monsters/ghosts and acting can be really distracting and take out immersion.
>getting scared by fucking video games.
Wasn't Courage's Creator a classic horror movie fan?
When you think about it, trying to invoke moe and trying to invoke fear (a.k.a. Horror) are opposing concepts, whereas moe incites you to want to protect someone, whilst horror makes you want to be protected from something scary. Moe is quite integral to the anime aesthetic, so it's no surprise that good horror is scarce within the medium.
Go play a horror game that wasn't made post the 7th gen with headphones and alone
Even fucking Ecco the Dolphin managed to scare people and it wasn't even a horror game
>anime Gyo
even more hilarious than the original manga version
I really wish more of Ito's work would be adapted, some of his stories were silly but unnerving as fuck. Tomie was really weird and creepy I'd love for it to get an anime.
>The Borderlands
Holy shit, fuck you for recommending this.
It stopped being good and interesting.
I watched the whole thing, but the alien dna ghost babies and dragon final boss lost me.
Are you pretending to be retarded?
Video games is the only thing that can be scary at all
>If you don't get scared by video games you are pretending to be retarded.
/tg/ has known about it for ages.
If I'm not mistaken, it was done by the same people who did Maid RPG.
Ayy lmao
I gave up on this after the arc where everyone was gay and that was the focus for like six fucking episodes.
I got to the end of that arc but after how shit it was I just didn't care anymore.
the ending still wakes me up at nights
