Why You Should Watch Anime

Japanese animation or as it is better known Anime, has a lot of great qualities that cartoon and animation studios should consider carrying out on them. First all great Japanese anime is based on a great comic, known there as manga. Once the public is aware of the manga, the studios make the manga to an anime.

If it is faithful to the manga, the public will accepts and embrace it if its better in storytelling, animation, pace, or even voice acting. The story is at the heart of all successful anime. In japan it seems the people point to the director and will follow animes based on whom the director or studio is. Think of your favorite Saturday morning cartoon when you were a kid and now try to imagine how it would be with a huge story and seasons of it, like a TV series. That is how it differentiates anime from American cartoons. Cartoons nowadays seem to go for entertain more no matter how stupid the cartoon is.

Anime's motto is entertain while tell the best new original story you can come up with. So every new one has a twist and tries to be different then the last. Disney had a great success with its early animation movies until kids hardly pay attention to them. Now I see ads of Disney classics of $1.99, while anime is gaining huge momentum and being internationalized. So if you have not seen an anime yet, don't be discouraged by the weird title. Look for it on your tastes. There is one for anyone from racing to romance.
