That's so ...Thanks for sharing your thoughts! <br /><br />That's so true on the characters. As you said, there are exceptions, but anime does tend to spend more time on cultivating characters. Even shows known for their action manage to integrate great character development. I'd say it's part of the reason there's such a huge following for shows like Naruto, with fans far outside the intended demographic.Annalynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07213459031876667950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599569914327180848.post-72759383096701927832013-09-16T16:52:41.309-07:002013-09-16T16:52:41.309-07:00I agree.

That's not true for every series, but I feel it plays a much bigger part in Anime, allowing you to form stronger attachments to your favorite characters because they are more developed and deeper than their Western counterparts.<br /><br />The tech aspect is probably the other big one for me. Anime studios can explore incredibly far-out ideas and concepts from the comfort of their office. Sure, animation costs and so does digital work, but far less that the special effects seen in live action. It means that we can experience stories that wouldn't be touched by Western producers because of the effort and cash that would be required to fully realize their potential.<br /><br />Talking about Anime not taking themselves seriously; there are a huge number of tropes and common jokes that show up across countless Anime that fans will recognize and enjoy, whereas Western productions would be criticized for similar commonalities.Silvachiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09352925844569594419noreply@blogger.com
