The Secret Behind The Popularity of Japanese Animation

It's always been a secret why Japanese animated characters have huge eyes and peculiar hair color and designs. Although these features may contradict the bonafide Japanese look, anime still thrives as a reflection of the real Japanese personality and philosophy about life. That's why Japanese animation became a widely accepted export material worldwide, enough to rival even the country's state-of-the-art gadgets and electronic devices.

Although the story of Superman and his red cape continues, the world can't help but compare the clash of two generations-- Western animation versus Japanese story and invention. When it comes to visual effects, the two leading genre are fairing equally high yet, when it comes to plots, Japanese-animated innovation prove to be more awesome and realistic. The Western culture develops their character through superheroism and focuses more on the impact of a tale-- a classic tale of man trying to battle for good against evil. On the other hand, manga or comic book style, where anime started, concentrates more on a realistic elements. Here, there's no such thing as heroes; even perpetrators can both be good and contemptible. The leads are often marked by popular habits that are annoying but do transform in time, showing more of independence and maturity after a error.

In the end, we can only sum up two reasons Japanese anime succeeds in enticing the world with its adventure. First, we can relate to the developed elements. They're more like us, trapped in confusing circumstances and dealt with puzzling emotions. Even with imaginary tales and fantasies, stories have evolved in more or less realistic scenarios where there are ordinary lives and not just superheroes.
