Mad About Anime
Mad About Anime Everyone who knows me personally is aware of my love for animation in general. ... However, I need to make a distinction between American animation and Japanese anime, which is why I started this section. There are many common genres in Japanese anime, although overall it has many characteristics unique onto itself. In my opinion, the two major distinguishing features of anime are its artistic style and subject matter. While American animations are generally aimed at children and carrying some optimistic and educational message, many Japanese anime series are targeted at older age groups and are dark and cynical. ... In Japanese anime, violence and sex can either be meaningless or as a cynical reflection upon history and human nature, depending on the targeted audience.
