Important Things To Know Before Staging An Anime Review Show

By Earlene McGee


A review of anime movie trends will reveal that some of the most entertaining and creative productions in the world are animated movies. The term anime often leaves one thinking they are similar to the normal cartoon characters the rest of the world is used to. However, these Japanese movies are often different, and pleasantly so. Presenting an anime review show, therefore, requires one to understand their history and what sets them apart from mainstream movies.

Animated movies bring something different to the table and that is why they have such a huge following. They are not like your mainstream animation and live action movie. They have teenage main characters, yet the themes they deal with are complex and include adult issues. The teenagers in animated movies save the world, and the authenticity makes fans feel like the movies are real despite the fact that they are cartoon characters.

The stories are more complex and have adult themes. This gives fans the feeling that the movies are real despite the fact that they are animations. The inclination towards the perfect script with a happy ending is never present in Hollywood movies. In the US, the trend is that after the plot twists and turns, at the end of the movie, the characters are left living happily ever after.

Real life does not always happen as planned, and this makes it easier for people to identify with Japanese movies because of the feeling that they are more realistic. Animes are not just restricted to local fans and a few international fanatics. Not many people realized it, but while everyone was not looking, Japanese popular culture grew to become one of the biggest alternatives to popular American movie culture.

It has slowly grown to be a major rival to the mainstream Hollywood movie culture. In fact, related industries like toys and games are also riding in animes success to access a worldwide market. The reason why Japan has chosen the different path of anime as opposed to mainstream live action movies and animations is simple- it is all about the money.

Animated movie is easy and cheaper to produce, which makes it more economically viable. The success of animes is also partially related to the tradition of the Manga. The creative art used in these comic books is almost always the inspiration behind most animated films. People in Japan are involved in the Manga culture in ways unlike how American adults regard their comic books. It was only natural that the popular Manga culture led to animes.

In Japan, even the adults are Manga fans. American adults are not nearly into comic books as the Japanese are into their Manga. Most of famous animated movies are inspired by popular Manga comics, and so the evolution was only a natural step. There is often huge pressure to conform to certain looks or stereotypes associated with race or gender. In animes, there is true freedom to look any way.

Such freedom has resulted in cases where some characters do not have any national, racial, or even gender identity. There also seems to be a motivation towards the use of female protagonist characters in recently produced animated movies. The different perspectives of animated movies are refreshing and very entertaining.
