The world of anime can be daunting and confusing to the uninitiated. I have taken upon myself to convert those naysayers who think anime as nothing more than immature, illogical and shallow form of entertainment. Well, not to say that there aren’t anime that are immature, illogical and shallow, I just wish people to have an open mind to the exciting and fascinating possibilities this medium has to offer.
I am fascinated with anime as a medium because it presents so many opportunities to convey a narrative. Anime covers material from many genres. Slice-of-life anime , in particular, presents a gritty version of reality, with themes that can be personally relevant at times. Sure, the more rampant anime people commonly see are kiddy, immature, illogical, shallow, or outright bizarre, but just like any other visual medium we have today, there are also anime that will appeal to one’s particular taste and sophistication.
