Anime and Manga Captivates All Age GroupsPosted by SuperPhil on April 5th, 2010
Japanese Anime
Although the artwork is cartoon style, Anime is much more than just a “cartoon” to its fans. While traditional cartoons in the United States are either humorous, or simplistic “good versus evil” storylines, the typical Japanese anime series offers characters who evolve as the series moves along and deals with complex real-life issues, such as friendship, love, loss, even the reality and acceptance of death.
Japanese Anime truely is an art, with its wonderful plots and beautifully drawn pictures. Anime is entirely about movement between states of being, whether fast or slow. The ‘being’ of a person, which can be one’s soul, mind, blood-line, weapon, limb or organ, is always caught in various stages of transition.
