Why anime? Or thoughts on
Finally, let's ask ourselves a question: why is anime singled out as a special category of film production, and not even considered cartoons? Actually the answer is obvious. What do we mean by the phrase "children's cartoon"? It means simple, elementary, with an accessible meaning. Of course, anime does not fall under this definition. Animated films often filled with deep meaning, philosophical overtones, ambiguous. It is only in Soviet and, partially, in Disney cartoons that everything is divided into good and evil, and you don’t need to think about anything, everything has already been thought out for the viewer.
The next distinctive aspect is the method of drawing images. Among the Japanese, it is characteristic and easily distinguishable from others. Huge "mirrors of the soul" are just what is needed to reflect the inner, spiritual essence of the hero. And if the character is planning to do something bad, then the eyes become small and inexpressive.
Endings in anime almost always leave room for reflection, thinking, even if we are talking about a film intended for a children's audience. In this regard, some anime created worldwide famous studio Ghibli, in the sense of growing up a child, can give much more template cartoons.
The only thing parents need to worry about is the right choice content. It must be remembered that Japanese culture in some respects is radically different from what we are used to.
