I mean as in layman terms? What does it mean? How is it different from regular animated motion videos? What's so special or interesting that adults follow it? Noob here, but just curious
animation from japan they follow certain pattern story lines are very entertaining they can be for children as well as adults.
Death Note is a good one and not too long. You should also check out Studio Ghibli's movies, since they are a movie, they aren't long, stories are generally very well though out.
Fairy tail Dragon ball z Naruto Bleach One piece These are the big long ones which are massively popular all of them are meant for younger audience, but nevertheless. Technically Pokemon is also an anime.
Linky, can't find any 40 episode series to download --- Double Post Merged, Jan 22, 2014 --- Ignore. Just found it. Didn't have the Anime Filter on
I would generally start with something inferior. Deathnote is vastly high quality stuff. It should be seen later.
Anime is what the western world knows & identifies as Japanese Animated Series .. that would depends on the genre you prefer .. Fantasy, Action, Fighting, SciFi, Action-Comedy, Thrillers, Romance .. (and the usual involving 3-4 of these) & focussed on different demographics .. (kids, adults, girls) Anime is pretty diversified .. but you do need to get accustomed to its fundamental visual style & themes. Hero's Journey is a common theme of many popular animes .. Naruto, DBZ, One Piece etc fall under the Shonen category which mainly involves fighting & over the top fantasy combat, these type of shows are mostly targeted to Young Male audience who can spends hours in front of the TV due to its repetitive nature. Seinen is Shonen's older & more sophisticated counterpart which includes more sexual, (realistic) violence, love, satire, & political themes.. Think Anime-Noir. eg. Ghost in the Shell, Akira, Cowboy Bebop, Full Metal Alchemist (perfect mix of Shonen & Sienen) & Hellsing.
I am not comparing. I am just saying OP has maintained very high quality for more than 10 years and if there is one Shounen that can only be good if it remains Shounen it is one piece. As you stated FMA could have been a very good Seinen, plus it is like 200 chapters or so.
