Since the 1990s, ‘Anime,’ or ‘Japanese animation,’ has become increasingly popular and even appeals to almost every age.
The exchange of art and culture is now an effective and frequently employed strategy by nations for establishing soft power abroad due to globalisation, improved accessibility, and technological innovation. These resulted in the increase of Pop culture in the popularity of ‘Anime,’ which has quickly gone from being a secret pastime to a widely accepted form of entertainment. I’ve been watching anime for a while now, and I’ve been seeing how the world is gradually embracing this culture.
Since the 1990s, ‘Anime,’ or ‘Japanese animation,’ has become increasingly popular and even appeals to almost every age, and let me tell you, Anime is not a children’s show. The genres of anime range from psychological and supernatural to action and adventure, humour, romance, gore, drama, and tragedy. Manga, which are comic books and graphic novels, is almost always the inspiration for anime. There never seems to be a dull time in strong anime because of the art, emotional involvement, character development, drama, and narratives that are always there. Colors, aesthetics, and designs that are based on the genre are essential for the development of the plot. For example, ‘Death Note'(2006), ‘A Silent Voice’ (2016), and ‘Your Name’ (2016) proved that Animes are way beyond just a cartoon.
Anime Vs Cartoons:
Strong, sympathetic characters are always a major factor in why anime is so much superior to cartoons. Anime characters are more realistic and relevant to everyday people because of the great variety of personalities and features they exhibit. Cartoons lack this realism and relatability, while anime is emotionally engaging. Cartoons rely on fictional characters and scenarios that don’t apply to real life since young children haven’t had enough exposure to the real world to relate to real events. Additionally, Animes frequently have superior narratives with deeper character development and more dramatic plot twists.
