What is anime??? Lane
Def. • Anime has two definitions. • Ist is that any animation production from japan. • 2nd is any animated production in the standard art style.
Genres • Shounen • Shoujo • Horror • Comedy • Ecchi
Shounen • This is the standard action with little deep thought. • Sub genre of shounen include Mecha , fantasy action, and the standard sport animation. • Suggested series are the big 3(Naruto, Onepeice, and Bleach) along with popular mecha like GurrenLagaan or Gundum.
Shoujo • Shoujo is the standard “chick flick” • Most are slow to start but build to a climactic arc that usually brings you to tears assuming you have a soul. • Kannon 2006, Clannad, and Air. These are the “trinity” of shoujo. As in arguably the best of the genre.
Horror/gore • As you may guess these shows are horror or gory. • These shows rely on suspense and crisp animation to sell the plot. • With horror you are probably best of with something like “Another” or “higarashi no nakukoroni”. Regarding gore “elfin leid” or “Hellsing” should suit your fancy.
Comedy • Comedy anime very rarely come as just comedy for example shounen-comedy, ecchi-comedy, or even shoujo-comedy. • The rare comedy that stands alone in genre is the slice of life animation. • Regarding slice of life “Lucky star” is a fantastic example.
Ecchi • There are ecchi elements in almost every element of anime. This is known as fanservice • Fanservice is where a character is put in a proactive situation for little to no real purpose but to see that character “exposed” • A good example of Shounenecchi would be HOTD or Freezing. • Comedy ecchi would be Rosario+Vampire.
The Sum up • In sum there is a genre or the of show for everyone whether you be a hardcore gundum fan or a classic shoujo fan there is a show for you.
