Pokemon, Akira, Sailormoon, Detective Conan and Doraemon—these are some of the most beloved cartoons that captivated the imagination of countless children across the globe. These animated television shows were eventually turned into movies. This genre has never ‘spirited-away’ from its main goal; it continues to tell stories that enthrall people to this day. Anime, a shortened term for ‘animation,’ is a popular form of entertainment in Japan. These are animated TV shows, movies, and direct-to-video releases originating from a famous manga series. Manga is the Japanese term for comics. These are released and sold weekly or monthly locally and across the country. Manga was first made popular in 1969 and since then has amassed a huge following. Anime is not only a form of entertainment for children. It involves several subgenres that cater to audiences of all ages. These include romance, fantasy, science fiction, comedy, hentai or erotic anime, drama, and action. Viewer discretion is usually advised especially for parents who buy movies for their kids. Just because a movie is ‘animated’ does not always mean it is made solely for kids. An anime movie differs from its western counterpart in several aspects. Japanese anime has earned its reputation for having unique characters. Anime characters are typically depicted with large eyes and very long legs. Male characters (shonen) have spiky haircuts, while female ones (shoujo) have sleek, pixy haircuts. Facial expression and body movements are exaggerated. Embarrassed, nervous, and confused characters are seen with a massive sweat drop. Angry and frustrated ones have bulging veins on their forehead. Infatuated characters are seen with eyes transforming to red hearts. Technique used in a traditional anime movie is somehow similar to the usual cartoon. Production processes of story board creation, dubbing, and character design also apply in the creation of an anime movie. Improvements brought by modern technology help the anime artist in perfecting his/her craft. Anime produced by hand drawing and manual frame by frame technique has become more efficient and appealing through computer animation software. Anime has also been transformed to online content that you can access anytime and anywhere. An anime movie can now be accessed through online streaming in various websites. Most of these websites offer free membership. Some video hosting websites require viewers to pay for their content.
