History Of Anime

By Wayne Torres

Anime is a popular cartoon animation from Japan. Since 1980s, they have boomed the global market and been enjoyed by many people of different ages and country bases. Anime has a real big market since then. Once known as Japanimation, the history of anime can be traced back from the early of 20th century when Japanese started to learn techniques of anime drawing just like the western people did. Now we can find animes almost anywhere throughout the world, in bookstores, book clubs, and Internet sites. There are some facts that contribute to the popularity of animes.

Anime comes in many categories and genres. The fact that anime is universal makes it possible for everyone to love. Creativity pays for their popularity. Reading anime is perhaps not much different from watching movies for those who are addicted. Go to the market and you will see drama, horror, action, thriller, and sensual animes easily, to mention a few.

And since it is animation, anime creators are free to express whatever they have in mind. Unlike in real-life movies, they just need creativity and talent to pass their ideas into drawings. They do not need background setting, stunt player, and make-up artist, for example, to create an anime that will draw viewers' attention.

There is no doubt that the anime creation work is also supported by technology development. The transformation from raw idea to screen and quality graphics has been easier with the advanced features in CGI animators.

Unlike the usual cartoon, anime has something more to say. There are comprehensive storylines as well as good character development so that viewers do not just see piece per piece of the character's life. The feature of character-based flashback can play back a character's past stories to represent their current personality or act.

Juvenile humor may be thrown in sporadically in drama-based animes, but do not be surprised if you see poignant and profound character development in humor-based animes as well.

Needless to say, not all animes are just cartoons for kids. In fact, the majority of animes feature violence, sexual innuendos, and language that may not be suitable for children. This is likely a major reason why anime's popularity has exploded across the world.

Overall, animes are enjoyable by all groups of age. Adults can get what they want, and so do children and teenagers because there are many genres and combination of them.
