What's Anime According to

Anime is most commonly based from a manga, that is basically the Japanese word for comics. Usually when individuals call something manga they imply that it had been made in Japan. Some people prefer manga over anime and vice-versa however the two are usually quite closely associated with each other, if not directly following each other, although in almost all cases the manga comes first prior to the anime. Unfortunately I am not keen on the genre and so i don't have much expertise in reading it, of course with my love for anime I've given manga a chance here and there but it will never be as good as anime to me. Manga is becoming increasingly popular in lots of areas of the planet such as the United States. Manga often is available in magazines that will include a few chapters of several different series, some daily, some weekly, plus some even more disseminate as well as produced randomly. While not all anime is based on manga, I would venture to say that a minimum of 90% of them are. It is not uncommon to have an anime to become produced at the same time because the manga it's following, however this often results in the anime catching up to the manga too quickly which forces the anime creators either to go on a hiatus or create 'filler' episodes which have no real link with the overall storyline. One problem that this creates for fans of anime but not manga is that the manga is definitely ahead, thus the people who read it knows what will happen before the anime viewers will, one of the numerous reasons I've more often than not avoided anime discussion forums is because of the spoilers that manga readers inadvertently blurt out and could ruin months of anime viewing for me.

That's not all though, anime is also very commonly based on game titles, and some even have entire franchises of video games in line with the anime. One of the best examples I'm able to think about with this is Star Ocean: EX, the anime almost follows the games storyline and cinematic perfectly, many people might not realize how powerful of storylines some video games have within them, and also to have the entire thing presented to you visually can really be quite stunning. Another great current examples of games turned anime are Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, Valkyria Chronicles, Gungrave, Devil May Cry, Pok?mon, Sonic the Hedgehog, Street Fighter, and much more. It was actually a misconception of mine for the longest period of time that the Pokemon anime came prior to the games, it had not been until about 5 years later which i realized how wrong I had been. Those are only a select few that were oftentimes beloved game titles of my childhood that left me wanting more, through an anime to watch that continues or provides me with more plot and story is always an attractive thing.

Obviously, some anime are even original creations, these however require much more work than simply taking math comic strips and animating them together (not really a proper explanation from the manga to anime transformation however the gist from it). Original creations require, a minimum of in my opinion, a really visionary person to create them. OVA's, or original video animations, while sometimes based solely off an anime of the same name but created by another animation organization, would be the most commonly seen forms of original anime content. Most OVA's are short in length ranging from 1 to 5 episodes each, but then again in certain specific cases you will find others that are between 10-100+ episodes in length, obviously this can be a factor of methods enough time and work adopts them. Currently I am following two anime OVA series that exist ten episodes each in length but rather than weekly episodes they only release about one episode every six months, that's right I said six months between episodes. Obviously this seems like a problem, however, many OVA are thought to be better than their parent story anime with a great deal of the anime viewing public.

Unsurprisingly some anime even evolves one step further into using a live-action movie or series made according to it. Most of the popular anime have spawned off live-action creations for example Gantz, Dragon Ball, Detective Conan, Cowboy Bebop, and Great Teacher Onizuka. While the success of these live-action movies hasn't been spectacular, it is quite another watch and gives you a better look into the capabilities that anime has over what effects can perform for a movie. Having seen the live-action Dragon Ball, Detective Conan and Great Teacher Onizuka movies along with other specials, I must say that I was quite disappointed with them, but mainly because of bad acting and low budgets. Earlier I pointed out the Cowboy Bebop live-action movie, that is still in development at this time, but looks promising using the Matrix star Keanu Reaves playing the primary character Spike Spiegel, that alone puts it over the seemingly random group of actors I've come across in other live-action things. Hopefully Cowboy Bebop does well in American markets therefore we see more big named actors starring in live-action anime based movies, it's my belief that situations are leaning this way since I've noticed a rise in actors like Tina Fey, Matt Damon, Andy Richter, and can Arnett amongst many more doing the voice-overs for major anime movies (usually ones made my Studio Ghibli) in an attempt to bring a wider American audience to anime. I personally watched among Studio Ghibli's movies recently, Ponyo on the cliff by the sea, in English and was overjoyed after i was able to recognize popular television and movie actors voices, however that movie is packed with stars including Tina Fey, Matt Damon, Liam Neeson, Betty White and many more, which was very unlike the usual one or two actors you may recognize.
