Japanese Anime Considered

There are many people who love animation films.  For those individuals who have not seen Japanese animation films, they are in for a different kind of experience.  Japanese animation is very different indeed from American animation.  To start with, Japanese animation distinguishes itself from traditional animation in terms of storylines and visual drawings.  Often these kinds of films are adapted from Manga (or 'comics').  The characters in them are not conventional heros and protagonists.  These characters come from a variety of backgrounds.

Most people new to Japanese anime will always notice that many of characters are drawn with very large eyes.  It is beyond what would be considered realistic on purpose.  Another common trait of these films is that the animators love to draw robots or "mecha robots" in the storylines.  Such animation films frequently question the roles played by science and technology in human society.  The subject of the consequences of over-dependence on technology are usually addressed in the storylines.


In any case, Japanese animation is a delightful film experience.  If any adjustment is needed in how to perceive them, it is certainly not something burdensome to overcome.  The enjoyment of the films will quickly make one forget any trivial considerations of perception.  The creative genius of anime from Japan is worth your entertainment time!
