So, here’s an bài viết on where anime has gone wrong.

First and foremost, seductively designed female characters and erotic situations feature a prominent role in too many shows. A drawing can only be so alluring; so, why try to draw in audiences with this when one could perfect their craft in characterization, plot twists, novel settings, and beautiful hoặc unique animation? While male audiences are easily ensnared bởi this, one can’t help think that it depresses the animators that this is the of their talent, and even the những người hâm mộ who enjoy this will eventually relegate such shows into oblivion.

Then, excessive người hâm mộ service even finds itself in shows which succeed on the merit of character and plot. A hiển thị named Freezing exemplifies this best. Freezing‘s an awesome show. Its plot has the audience riveted, the characters are extraordinarily likeable, the fights and phim hoạt hình are superb, and the viewer has to force himself not to watch the entire 12-episode hiển thị in a sitting. But it has one major drawback: it has the người hâm mộ service of Battle Vixens. Reviews of this hiển thị seem to fall in two camps: those who can tolerate all the người hâm mộ service tình yêu the show, and those who can’t hate it. If only the creator had decided to imitate the modesty of the characters of shows like Rurouni Kenshin hoặc Trigun. If he had done that instead of climbing on the ecchi bandwagon, this hiển thị could easily have rose to be an international success. Instead it will remain in the realms of obscurity. Even your humble writer has decided he will never watch the hiển thị again–too much temptation.

Then, we have one setting that’s incredibly overused: the high school. I know that high school students are among the biggest consumers of anime, and shows which allow them to identify with a character who’s around the same age do well; however, this cliche setting has begun to irritate me. Where’s the creativity? bạn can use high school age characters in just about any story bạn like. So, why not write about fantastical worlds, take us to different epochs of history, hoặc into the unexplored realms of science fiction? Why do I have to hear another conversation about whether to tham gia this club hoặc that club? The anime industry needs to either do away with the high school setting hoặc minimize its presence. At least, those backgrounds of school buildings and classrooms must be beginning to wear out after being used in one thousand shows. Why not give them a rest?

But the above paragraph highlights another problem, which is not easy to perceive: writers are all drawing from modern anime. What’s the problem with that, bạn ask? Walk into the fantaisie section of your local bookstore, and you’ll see the problem. Drawing only from modern sources–of which 80% tend toward mediocrity, 15% toward decency, and only 5% at most toward greatness–produces mediocre stories lacking in originality. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings made it’s way to become one of the hàng đầu, đầu trang five best selling sách of all time particularly because Tolkien drew from original medieval works. He drew from the works which withstood the test of time rather than the forgettable novels being written in his day. Works like this are thêm fruitful for inciting the imagination, and, in a world where people are only familiar with what came out five years ago, provide writers with the right material to stand out in the market.

For example, the most unique manga being written right now is Vinland Saga, in which just about all our characters are Vikings. Can bạn name me another manga which includes Vikings? I don’t think so. Then, the writer also tries to illustrate the period as accurately as possible, shows the conflict between the Pagan Vikings and Christian Europeans which existed at that point, educates the reader about the historical personages, tries to get into the mindset of the people at this time, and at the same time keeps the manga style and flavor in the story. (I can’t really describe this amorphous trait. But, bạn would recognize it if bạn read it.) The most interesting thing about that conflict between Christians and Pagans if that Nhật Bản had a similar conflict during the Sengoku period, so it even các bình luận on Japan’s history in a way. Who wouldn’t prefer to have a story like this over something like 11 Eyes?

I’d have to say those are the greatest problems with Japanese anime today: too much emphasis on titillating the audience, too many high school shows, and too many people drawing from the same sources.
