Japan's Anime Craze

By Wayne Torres

Anime is a popular cartoon animation from Japan. Since 1980s, they have boomed the global market and been enjoyed by many people of different ages and country bases. Anime has a real big market since then. Once known as Japanimation, the history of anime can be traced back from the early of 20th century when Japanese started to learn techniques of anime drawing just like the western people did. Now we can find animes almost anywhere throughout the world, in bookstores, book clubs, and Internet sites. There are some facts that contribute to the popularity of animes.

Part of the draw that anime possesses is the fact that they can target wide ranges of viewers. This is due to the fact that animes are not confined to one category, but run the entire gamut of genres, including action, sci-fi, drama, romance, horror, and yes, even erotica.

The fact that anime is created mainly by ideas make it possible to land everything a human's brain can think of. Unlike real movies which needs months to years of preparation, shooting, and finishing, a masterpiece of animes can be created in a relatively short period of time. With some helps of technology, anime creators can create their wildest desires for you to enjoy.

It is not all about drawing the anime yourself, in fact. New features in CGI animators have made ideas-to-screen transmit easier and more efficient. Even the wildest mind can be made real on the screen.

Unlike the usual cartoon, anime has something more to say. There are comprehensive storylines as well as good character development so that viewers do not just see piece per piece of the character's life. The feature of character-based flashback can play back a character's past stories to represent their current personality or act.

If you enjoy drama movies, try drama animes. They usually also comprise humor, meaningful learning, as well as other worthy attributes in a package, so forget about the boring drama.

Needless to say, not all animes are just cartoons for kids. In fact, the majority of animes feature violence, sexual innuendos, and language that may not be suitable for children. This is likely a major reason why anime's popularity has exploded across the world.

With animes, cartoons are no longer just for kids, and even adults can find themes of romance and drama that they might otherwise find only in real-life television shows. The unique blend of animated characters with more mature themes is undoubtedly an enticing combination for adult-viewers.

Now that you know the basics of anime and its history, it is time to find the right animes for you. Pick a genre, read up on reviews and summaries of shows that you are interested in, and enjoy. - 31407
