Home | Computers & Technology | Wireless Networks While "anime" is the shortened version of "animation," the term isn't associated with Disney characters or any other cartoons. Instead, it is instantly and always association with Japanese cartoons. In the early 20th century, Japanese cartoonists began making natively-inspired works influenced by Western cartoons. In the 1970\'s, Osamu Tezuka popularized a form of Japanese Animation called manga, translated as whimsical pictures. Manga is a mixture of Ukiyo-e, 17th to 20th century Japanese woodblock pictures depicting images of floating worlds and popular post-WWII Western cartoons. Soon, new characteristics and genres rose in Manga and have become the fundamental elements of Anime today from the giants robot genre called mecha (Gundam, Macross), to the more complex and mature story lines of the gegika (translated as Dramatic Pictures). Anime is characterized by its genres and its styles. The thematic elements include both complex and simple storylines. These stories range from funny to romantic to serious and about social commentary. They also include lots of action, violence, horror, super heroes and sometimes even racier, suggestion pornography. With so much range in style and theme, hardly any two characters are alike. There is a variety of style but all use some styles that are fundamental in almost all Anime works. The most peculiar is the over-exaggerated eyes of Anime characters; the eyes portray the characters\' emotions distinctively. Aside from the large eyes, characters also have a large head, with loss of proportion to a small body. Another style is emotions expressed by exaggerated physical reactions. Artists depict a "faulty face" (bleeding nose and watery eyes) of the characters during times of anger, stress, humiliation, love. Anime is not only celebrated in TV and prints but also in fashion and the Web. Article Source: http://www.articlewheel.com
