Hello, this is my first myTake in a couple of months give or take. This time I've decided to write about a topic I'm pretty passionate about, which is Japanese anime! Or otherwise just called "アニメ" Which is Japanese for "Animation". Today I'll be sharing my personal thoughts on this form of popular media and why I really enjoy it over things like realistic dramas or live action TV.

Anime Has Interesting and Creative Visuals

Why I think anime is a more interesting and fulfilling genre compared to other forms of various media.

Anime has a special way to showcase it's wonderful art in all sorts of different forms, it's wonderfully beautiful variety of art-styles to choose from makes it completely eye candy for a person like myself. This is something that's hard for other media to match, the closest thing to it I can think of is certain forms of American-styled animation in the form of cartoons.

However I just feel like the graphical fidelity tops anything that any other media in animated form can produce or even mimic. In the large scope that is anime, it's hard to find a single medium when it comes to what picture quality it needs to have, however in the vast amounts that are produced by different studios it's very cool to see how it remains to be beautiful and stunning to watch.

The special effects are typically dramatic and really over the top, which makes a very pleasant and enjoyable experience for the viewer.

Tells a Story Unique to it's Genre

Along with the visual quality like I mentioned above, I feel like anime as a very good way of telling their stories through visual transitions and script. There's a lot of sub genres in anime that would suit just about anybody, when it comes down to very interesting and simply compelling story plots you'd probably be hard pressed to not find at least one or even a few that you find enjoyable.

You want something gritty and action packed? You got it! You want something that will bring tears to your eyes with a passionate and cute love story drama? Look no further! Wanna see huge mechanized robots fighting each other in massively comical battles? It's there! Things like this is what makes anime so diverse compared to live action or anything in-between in my opinion.

Anime has a special way to tug at the viewers heartstrings, telling a story that is not only emotional and passionate, but also resonates with the watcher a more personal and vividly emotional level.

Music That Inspires

Anime provides a unique look into the culture of Japan through it's awe inspiring music, it's beautiful rhythmic themes and cute jingles makes me feel happy and content when I'm listening to a wonderfully crafted piano in a sad scene, or even a upbeat rock song in a massive battle scene.

Music in anime corresponds well with the natural plot line and flow of most anime, musical cues that let you know when the mood or setting suddenly changes is in itself something anime does particularly well in my opinion. Something that only triple A video games and large scale budget movies seem to be on par with, rarely such beautiful music occurs in live action shows, or even other forms of animated media like cartoons themselves.

It really sets the mood when your favorite character is in trouble or wins in glorious victory accompanied by a special song for the occasion! :)

Endless Possibilities

Finally, in closing.. whether you like anime or not, the potential for endless possibilities is something that's certainly very impressive when it comes to anime. Universes that have their own unique spins, mythical, magical, emotional, whatever it may be, anime probably can do it in limitless ways.

In closing! Anime is a special part of my life that brings me all sorts of joy and a personal connection to their lives and my own~ Similar to being with a lifelong friend that always makes you laugh or even cry, but the memories you share doing something you enjoy together can never be replaced or forgotten!
