Why We Love Anime | Play

by Shari Davis

Although the artwork is cartoon style, anime is much more than just a cartoon to its fans. While traditional cartoons in the United States are either humorous, or simplistic good-versus-evil storylines, typical Japanese anime series offers characters who evolve as the series moves along and deals with complex real-life issues, such as friendship, love, loss, even the reality and acceptance of death. anime couple holding each other

Japanese Anime is an art, with intricate plots and beautifully drawn pictures. Anime is entirely about movement between states of being, whether fast or slow. The ‘being’ of a person, which can be one’s soul, mind, blood-line, weapon, limb or organ, is always caught in various stages of transition.

I love the anime characters and their development, particularly, the way each of them possesses multiple personalities, motivations and attitudes. It creates what comes close to the complexity of true human relationships, very touching and memorable. Anime provides an escape to a wondrous world so beautiful and amazing you wonder how the artist created such a place and conceived the characters that capture our hearts and keep us impatiently awaiting the next episode's release.

Anime is doing what every artistic medium strives to achieve, move you. Anime characters with their spiky hair and huge expressive eyes hold our attention, we cannot help but respond to the language and expression conveyed through their eyes.

Japanese anime artists are eternally searching for the cutest little creature they can possible come up with, and one of the newer characters is Mamegoma, a "bean seal." I have no idea what that means but he is an adorable little critter! Anime may also be adapted into live action television programs, available on media such as movies, DVD, video games, soundtracks, music, MP3, and all audio formats for mobile devices.

Anime is often influenced by Japanese comics known as manga. Manga is usually presented in black-and-white, comic-book form. The books are most often produced in Japan, but artists and writers from many other countries create their own manga as well. Manga is in still form (books) and Anime is animated (moving). You can't read anime and you can't watch manga..

Japanese Manga is quite different from American comic books in many ways, which is why it is sometimes translated as graphic novels. Comic books in America tend to be in color, sold in thin booklets, and written for a teenage male audience.

Japanese Manga is gender and age-based from its creation to its marketing. Titles are created for children (kodomo manga), for tween and teen girls (shojo manga), for tween and teen boys (shonen manga), for women (josei manga), and for men (seinen manga).

Manga is well respected as an art form. Japanese manga comics have developed an entirely fresh approach to sequential artwork and have given new inspiration to artists. The influence of manga can now be seen in films, animation and comics the world over.

The overwhelming approval of Hayao Miyazaki's anime and manga are changing the perception of anime and manga, placing them closer to the status of "higher" arts. The top of box office charts of all-time in Japan is "Spirited Away" by Hayao Miyzaki, earning 30.4 billion yen.

Manga is actually a medium which can encompass different genres of stories, from action to romance, comedy to sci-fi, there is a little something for everyone. Manga is a multi-billion dollar industry worldwide and it is rapidly growing in western nations.

Anime and Manga fans and collectors have discovered that buying or renting their books, episodes, movies and DVD's locally can rapidly become quite costly, and availability is often limited. The internet has spawned a tremendous growth in the availability of Anime and Manga episodes, movies and DVD's that is escalating exponentially each year.

More and more Anime and Manga fans are flocking to the internet to find their favorite Japanese Anime and Manga episode downloads, movie downloads, DVD's, anime games, anime soundtracks, amine music, and even wallpaper and MP3's are available at a fraction of the cost as buying them locally.

To avoid pay per download costs, which can add up rapidly, anime membership sites with unlimited downloads offer the best option. However, some membership sites are inferior to others with limited anime databases and/or hidden costs etc. I recommend you do your due diligence and go to: ReviewExpose.com/AnimeAndManga/ for revealing information about Anime and Manga websites.
