Anime inspires, entertains with thoughtful storytelling

Since I was 12-years-old, I have been intrigued with Japanese animation, or anime. When I tell people this, they never understand why. Many people are under the assumption anime is merely for children, or it is only for “people with no lives.”

There is much more to anime than being a “person with no life” or a child. Anime has taken me on roller coasters of fun, sadness, joy and, most importantly, inspiration.

Watching these shows has been a wonderful tool in getting me to write more, and I have no idea how I would have attempted some stories without that push of encouragement.

The well-thought out stories and unique animation anime offers is why it is so prominent in Japanese culture, and why it’s a worldwide favorite.

For instance, my favorite anime, “Cowboy Bebop,” took me to a whole new world. The show is 26 episodes of plot twists, symbolism and character development, which, as a writer, I go nuts over.

Anime has stories that have probably never been introduced before, and that is one reason why so many people love it. Fans can understand and appreciate the time and effort these creators have put into their masterpiece works.

The storylines in series such as “Bebop” are what got me hooked. The series starts offs with a very normal, almost everyday type of plot, and then it transcends into drama and action, with more background information of all of the characters.

Shows such as “Bebop” have intrigued me, and inspired story ideas I never would have thought of had I not watched the shows. Being a writer, I am picky about what inspires me, and I have to be entirely into something to think of new ideas.

Anime is exactly what I needed during one of my episodes of writer’s block, and if me watching all episodes of “Bebop” in four days was not inspiration enough, I don’t know what was.

My favorite anime movie is “Akira,” a crtically acclaimed movie that really set the bar in introducing anime to the Western world. “Akira” is extremely complex – so complex that one would have to research it thoroughly even after they finished the entire movie.

The movie is jam-packed with mystery and symbolism that is way too out-of-reach for people. I was lucky to find this movie because looking for symbolism is what I do for fun.

I have had epiphanies in understanding life, friendship, love and a plethora of other topics while searching for symbolism in these shows. You don’t find that too often in your everyday American cartoons.

“Akira” is more of a science fiction anime, and I have never written a sci-fi story in my life, but the show took a toll on me and inspired me to branch out and try something new for once.

I’m a storyteller, and when I watch an anime that has all elements needed to work – character development, a solid plot, symbolism, etc. – it is always declared a great show to me. I have watched my fair share of awful shows, but for the most part, anime always has more to offer than American cartoons, even American shows with real people.

For the better part of my life, I have been in love with anime, and as I get older, I highly doubt I will ever dislike it. I only wish other people would see anime the way I do — as a source of creativity, a culture and a source of needed inspiration.
