Japanimation Essay Research Paper The term anime

of a ordinary person into a superstar. Some of Japan?s most talented artists and

musicians are drawn to the manga/anime industry. Parents should keep in mind

that some anime is made for children and some can be enjoyed by the entire family.

While others are made strictly for adults. Even some series broadcast in Japan

contain material that some parents may find inappropriate. Female nudity is

running rampid in anime and even children?s manga. It is expected that boys will

drool over the naked girls. Male nudity is also quite common but usually not in a

sexual situation. It is also in amusing situations in contrast to the boys. It?s

expected that the girls will run shrieking form the sight. Another thing to point out

is that casual none sex related nudity is common thing and is not looked down upon

by Japanese. Even some of the anime that is broadcast on television contains brief

nudity in none sexual situations. Anime unlike the cartoon of America also seems

to deal much more realistically with death and evil.

One of the best known companies in the animation business is Manga. They

have released thousands of tittles. I could go on forever about all the different

movies that they have made but I am going to limit it to one of their best known

works.

Ninja Scroll It is your basic story of good verses evil but it goes much

deeper than that. If you really watch you can see the character develope and grow

as the story proceeds. Ninja scroll takes place in ancient Japan and is the story of a

wandering ninja named Judai he believes in truth and honor. The story begins with

a mysterious plague that is sweeping through the country. This causes a panic and

a group of ninjas known as the Koga ninja clan is sent to check it out. They are

quickly over powered by a demon named Tessi half stone half human. All that

remains is one ninja, her name is Kagero. She trys to escape but is caught by

Tessi and brought back to his home. He begins to rap her (this is also a common

thing in Japanimation. Most of the movies that did not come from television series

have women getting rapped or a sex seen of some sort. In Japan it is as easy to find

a Japanimation with sex in it as it would be to find a store that sold porn here.)

Tessi then hears a voice in the corner asking directions. It is Jubai, Tessi tells

him to ?piss off?. But Jubai stays and asks again this angers Tessi and he swings

his sword at him splitting Jubais ?favorite hat?. Tessi then turns into stone and

says ?What do you wish that you had left when you had a chance to?. Jubai replies

?no I was just wonder you cant be stone all over your body can you? then quickly

throws a sherukin into Tessi?s eye. Jubai and Kagero then flee and get away.

After Jubai saves Kagero they split ways and because of him killing her

attacker the other eight Devils of Kimon come after him. He then is

hired/blackmailed by a shrewd spy ninja for the government known as Dakuwan.

Dakuwan poisons Jubai with a ninja star so that he will have to work for him so he

can get the antidote and also a hundred pieces of gold. Together, Dakuwan and

Jubai end up teaming up with Kagero to battle these demons with super-human

abilities. As more information comes up it the plot becomes more twisted and

blood seems to flow like rain.

It is evident that the Japanese have no problem with showing violence or

nudity in their works. Their characters are much more realistic than those of

America. They are more in-depth and cause you to get involved with the story. Its

a three billoin dollar industry that has gone from the underground to the main

stream. In conclusion anime is a great way to look into the Japanese culture and

even learn their language if you get non dubbed versions.
