I've never been a really big fan of anime. However, I don't watch any of the shows, etc, etc. Maybe there is something that I'm missing about this because I really don't see what the big deal is about it. Can someone explain to me whats so fascinating about it? I think I might be missing the bigger picture. *i'm slow*

It really depends, as well. I agree, anime isn't just for children. It depends on what anime you watch. It's just like how.. okay do you think south park is just for children?
Anyway, anime has "substance", as Trish puts it, that regular cartoons lack. IMHO, most regular cartoons aim at a younger audience, so they have to tone down the jokes, randomness, etc. Not only that, but must cartoons are either too busy or way too boring. When I say "too busy," I mean that too much is going on that there's ALWAYS something different for each episode. Anime continues, with a strong plotline as well as well-developed characters. Think of anime as a drama or an action cartoon with a strong plotline. Tell me, have you EVER cried while watching an American cartoon? I don't recall of every crying when I watched any American cartoon. But certain animes (even manga! I love reading them!) can truly touch your heart and make you think.. Don't base anime on Pokemon, Digimon, Yu Gi Oh, etc. They are anime, but you have to look past that. InuYasha: Beyond the Looking Glass (InuYasha movie) made me cry. But I'm a hopeless romantic type-of-person, so maybe you're not into that sort of stuff. Give anime a try. Digimon, Pokemon, Yu Gi Oh!, etc. Are directed towards a younger audience, so maybe that's what you based your opinion on. |
