In the past my friends have been trying to get me to watch Anime. Lately they've been pushing even harder.

 

So I'm considering it. But why Anime? What makes it so special? Is it the art style? Stories? Community? I'm clueless. The only Animes I ever watched were Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh but those aren't exactly Anime (especially after the english versions got brutally raped by 4kids).

Anime isn't too great or anything. The stories range from Good/Ok to Bad, the general community can be pretty annoying sometimes, and the art style isn't very specical and can be pretty lazy. They all work out differently though, and it isn't much of a bad thing to at least watch one or two Anime shows if you actually enjoy them. Considering Kingdom Hearts is a Crappy Anime-Like Game, you could possibly like some things you come across. If you like Mindfiretruck in both good and bad ways, then go on ahead. It's nothing special, but if you wan't a break from some of the normal stuff on TV, then find something and see if you like it.

Anime to me is just like any normal show I watch of TV, only just a little bit more trippy sometimes. The shows can be good, or terrible; you just have to go out and find ones that may interest you and what not. It's not really "special" in any way to be honest, but in my opinion there are SOME of the more popular animes that are good but at the same there are other more popular shows that are filled with useless filler episodes that have nothing to do with the actual plot that in itself isn't very great. I mean there's no harm in going to watch some series, but it's not something to be blown away by. There is a lot of anime out there, so you're bound to find something you like and will enjoy watching.

 

It's nothing special at all. I don't really see why they would push you so much to watch it.

There are a couple good ones out there, but most really aren't anything special imo.

 

Art style also varies a lot between anime. Depending on the studio, it can either be really pretty or completely awful.

 

Storylines tend to get recycled a lot unfortunately.

 

The fanbase/community is...not really the most spectacular.

 

 

tl;dr Anime in general is pretty much a hit-or-miss sort of thing. Some people like it, some don't. There isn't too much that sets it apart from anything else.

I watch anime because I don't watch TV.

ehh Anime isn't something THAT special, its just cartoons with different art style.

I always prefer manga over anime, because most of those "manga to anime" animes have lots and lots of filler episodes which makes it boring, and sometimes you'll forget what the real plot is loooollll;;;; (Some might even change the whole story D: )

We;ll for Style thats based off disney as the artist/animator here, I like Anime because the experesstions are all exateraged. its not that they are good or bad, It's usally Meh for me. But also since my familey's form japan it's kinda part of the culture. It does range like disney form good extravigent animation to Meh, finally to ugh....

 

useally if its very faithful, great story-telling and have fun animation (like Nura: rise of the Yokai Clan). But usally its whatever your own prefiecnec is. if you dson;t want to watch anime Fred,then don't.

So I'm considering it. But why Anime?

 

why do you watch TV programmes?

why do you play video games?

why do you play sports?

 

for entertainment, same goes for anime.

Anime usually isn't that much different to normal cartoons, except that it is more graphic and violent, but I usually don't like animes tbh...... But there is one anime series I implore you to watch, just for the awesomeness, Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni (it's in Japanese, but you'll find almost all the videos have English subtitles anyway) Seriously, it'll start freaky, but then after the first two arcs, it'll get REALLY good, it's one of the only animes I've ever liked (don't show me Naruto, if I get shown Naruto, I rage. fact.)

 

Basically, anime is really good, or really bad, depending on what you like, usually there'll be one or two every person will like

OMG I just found out who that character is from in the sig Touhou right? (I still pronounce it two-who )
