Is all Anime about Death?
Do all Anime have to Be Related to Death Somehow?
Anyone ever realize this before? Most of the Anime and Manga you read/watch all have violence, Blood, and killing in it. Look at the popular Anime for an Example of the death involved. Naruto, Bleach, Fullmetal Alchemist and even Deathnote. Deathnote even has the word "Death" in its name.. I think that 95% of all Anime and Manga are related or are involved with scenes of fighting, blood, and murder. This goes to show that the age of people watching this can`t be any younger than 10 or so wouldn`t you think? I guess the bigger question is would you still watch these type of anime? I feel that anime is nothing with out some type of violence or action in it.
Five Anime`s involved in Death..
Here are some Anime`s that are related to Death. They have Deaths in side them, showing the "crass attempt to pull at the heartstrings" or "bring the emotional side of things out" some would say. Were, Other`s would say that the Violence and the Killing is a part of the entertainment and the show it self. They say that with out the Fighting scene`s and the goals these characters have with hurting each other that's what make`s Anime , Anime itself. This "Animated Death" you can call it is something that makes Anime so interesting and is the drive that the fans want all together.Five Anime`s with Death
1. Deathnote
2. Naruto
3. Bleach
4. Fullmetal Alchemist
5. Deadman Wonderland
Anime is known for there intense Animated Fight scenes and bloody sword battles. Anime is also know for there violence and crime that is shown through out there episodes and series. It also seems that the more Newer Anime compared to the Older Anime, the Fights have grown to convince the audience and entertain them with completeness. You watch one episode of the newer Anime or even read one chapter of the newest Manga out there and there in a fight, fixing to get in one, or talking about a fight. Its just the way Anime is now. Look back at Dragon Ball Z , they came out with many many fight scenes and that's what made it so big.
Difference between American Anime and Japanese Anime?
Well if you think about it, its very simple. Anime in Japan have you get close to the characters in the storyline as well as Anime in america. The difference between them is how in Japan Anime they will go as far as killing those characters. There could be a character you hate , or a character you are in love with, or even a character that isn`t really all that important but Japanese film makers and animators kill them off. This is the turning point between how Americans and Japanese are different. This is also what sells Anime more than anything else. Japanese Anime are known for there main characters dying and the violence that is the cause of it.See, this shows that Anime has more of a mystery side of things as well. There is a unexpected feeling that comes over the viewer when a character is killed off as simple as being shot, or cut by a sword. The amount of deaths in these anime`s are also simple but evoke a strong emotion in the viewer. This keeps them more interested and more hooked on it all.Interesting Anime Shows are known for there topic and there plot all together. For example, fellow Anime lovers will not want to watch an Anime that is not interesting or is about a silly little thing, like following around a cat. The violence is what make`s the Anime and Manga so interesting and keeps the viewers attention longer then you would expect.
Your First Anime Death..
Do you remember your first Anime Death? Was it one of your favourite characters in the series? Did it make you cry? These are all questions that you should ask your self once in a while. Let, me tell you a little story of my first "Anime Death". What is an anime death you ask? well, its when a character in the series die`s from being in a situation. The first anime death I went through was the anime/manga of deathnote. The anime and manga of Deathnote was my first serious anime that I got into. I would call it the first open door or the stepping stones to becoming a real Animelover (fan). So, when I jumped into this Anime and watched it on adult swim which would be the american channel for most of the anime you can watch on tv. When, I jumped into this anime it just started and I watched it continuously and straight through. I was enjoing it so much that I would do anything to keep myself awake to watch it since it was on at such a late time (3:00 A.M). If that meant standing up in my room and walking around trying to keep me up and awake to understand what was going on in the episode I would. There were times when I would leave the big light on in my room and sit up while watching the other animes on that night before deathnote. It was fun and every weekend I had something to look forward to and be excited about. There came a point were my favourite character in the series (L) was getting close to closing the case on "Kira". That night, my eyes were glued to the Tv set because I knew if I even blinked it would have meant that I was going to miss something important. The scene came out of no where that night, and well what else can I say it just hit me as my favourite character hit the floor. For a moment there I thought that it was a joke and he was going to get up. Then, I realized that this was really happening, my mind was blown and not in a good way. At that time, I didn`t know much about the Anime series like how many episodes there were and if that was the last episode. I remember thinking to myself "Oh man, is this the end of the Anime?". Thank god it wasn`t! I went on the computer that next morning still fully shocked and found out what episode I was up to. Then slowly after that I came to the conclusion that the Anime series wasn`t over and there was a whole another season. I remember yelling at my computer "YES! another season". I was excited at that point, well, their was my somewhat entertaining story on how I had my first Anime Death, tell me your story!
