Animation Style - The Attraction of Anime

Before I discovered anime, I was a child, Warner Bros., Hanna-Barbera, AAP (Associated Artists Productions) and the Disney generation. I grew up on mistakes, Jonny Q, Popeye and Mickey. My understanding of the basic physics came from Professor WE Coyote. My early understanding of people came from B. Bunny. Yogi encouraged us to Yellowstone National Park for a visit and taught us to feed the bears. Jonny Q made it cool to have a father who is an international scholar. Disney us an unforgettable mix of Hollywood spectacle, choreography and music, and taught us the value of sales, plus our theme park or two. Anime led to a whole new generation of another set of style, script, color palette, sound, and cultural perspectives.

Strong female characters: If you have not noticed, the characters I mentioned above, are men. In the anime, female characters dominate, strong and held in reverence and respect. Anime film Princess Mononoke is a classic example of a story of strong women characters. Two of the three main characters are women; San aka Princess Mononoke (female), Lady Eboshi (female) and Ashitaka (male). Movies tag line, "the fate of the world depends on the courage of a warrior," says he thought as a question of which of the three fighter. Within this group, every individual is a fighter with great qualities and strengths within their capabilities in the storyline. If you do not have the pleasure of watching a movie, it's not my intention to spoil your experience further discussion about the plot. I just encourage him to film with an emphasis on the role and interaction of male and female characters.

Topics timeless story: timeless story anime character issue is not just the usual superficial conflict between good and evil, but the deeper conflicts that arise from differences in opinions or attitudes. Animation scripts tend to be more visually reveal background information on the figure, which then gives the public a better understanding of the nature of personal combat. In many cases, the public is a reflection of this conflict within their own souls.

Social Commentary: Traditionally, many in Japan wrote a negative slope on the results of technology overcomes cultural or social development or wisdom. The fact that Japanese anime, these are largely in North America and the world indicates the great interest in these concerns. In the movie "Princess Mononoke", a conflict between the ancient traditions of agriculture and holistic or animist beliefs created by advances in technology meaning the Iron Age in many areas of current global problems. Anime stories reveal and challenge the traditional lines of progress, commerce, loyalty, honor and culture in all the graphic nature of animation.


Less talk - more dramatic sense: North American films are generally much more use of dialogue in the scripts. Many of the traditional anime shows "story" instead of "than a story." As a management style that focuses on the most visual close-up of hand, the weather or the environment, changes in clouds and scenes of a normal life, how people eat, or collection of buildings. the most common style is the emphasis on the typical anime trembling eye. "Anime uses a lot of eyes, hair and clothing movement to express feelings in the scene. Anger is indicated as a flash in close-up view. Reddened facial expression lines and graphics are used to her embarrassment. (As a cultural difference - in the American animated indicates anger.) These and other techniques used in graphic novels, which evolved from the anime form.

Strong style and color choice: Anime style is lovely to look at. Has a sense of poetry, it has rhythm. Anime or art. You do not even appreciate the speakers at the story, motion and graphic beauty. 3D animation is still trying to push the envelope to complete, trusted real name in special effects. I believe that art is allowed and encouraged to be artistic. Or anime movie is the story of defiance, or sci-fi film The Battle of anime vampire, I love to see where the director embraced the film, and further added that the story took.


Future of Anime: When is the valuation of anime, remains in the form. There is a sense of craft, tradition and pride of visual storytelling techniques, which are the backbone of the genre. With the continued development of Flash animation software, 3D to 2D conversion software (to imitate the anime) is always the creative edge, making it accessible to a new generation of filmmakers. My only concern is that market saturation of anime products, viewers wondered. The good news is that the best films always find their audience and have a lasting classic for many decades.
