The Insider Secrets Of Viewing Anime Series Discovered
Animated films are great. They inspire the youngest of us to reach deep into our imaginations and experience the adventure, the excitement, the passion. Once we grow older we for some reason stop watching these films. I don't know why which is.
Maybe it's because since we grow older, since we grew up watching a film like these, we feel that they are movies for children. Conversely, I would wholeheartedly disagree with that idea. Sure these movies contain some "safer" concepts and do not really show the depravity of man, but I do believe that they touch on very familiar topics within our family and with our friends.
You have got a rating system in the movies, right? G, PG, PG-13, R, NC-17. Anyway, think of the movies. Simply because Lord of the Rings was PG-13, did that mean it was necessarily bad for kids to watch? That is opinionated. Okay, think of a film you like but your children do not like it since they don't understand it. The themes are over their heads and they don't go for all that characterization. In our movie rating system what would we rate a film like that? It doesn't have anything the kids shouldn't be seeing, it is just that they don't understand. What do you think MPAA would rate it?
Now with anime it's the businesses who distribute the anime who rate the anime. Their rating system is just a little distinctive from the movies: They will take all factors, not only sex, violence, nudity, language, etc. but also element in if younger audiences will be able to understand it. So on the back of an anime the rating could possibly be OT for Older Teens, but really all they did that for was because the story is challenging to understand. Now granted OT can be for the additional stuff too, but you need to recognize that they think of everything once they rate.
You can have a G movie that's for little kids, as well as a PG movie that they completely do not understand. The rating system didn't help within this case; you will need to read up on the movie so you know what is in it, and that really goes for all entertainment, including anime. You may need to read up on something you want to watch, read, listen to. It may be okay; it may not. You cannot expect the rating system to do everything for you, because it won't.
While there are various adult oriented anime films, animations that will be produced by Disney or Pixar handle some very complex themes in a lot more subtle and emotional way that many harsh films never touch on because those films focus more on shocking us rather than enlightening us.
There can be without doubt in my mind that if you grew up watching full anime these films like Toy Story, The Lion King, Bambi, and the likes you were shaped by them dramatically as a child.
Many of the older films helped push the technology within the film industry around the world. It also put a standard on the craft of storytelling that I believe might be more rarely achieved in today's film environment.
