Do you like Anime? As someone who doesn't underrstand the culture. Explain it to me.
 

What the fuck is Anime all about? Is it good. Not Japanese.

Anime is Japanese mate. Rest all are Cartoons.

No, you misunderstand. I mean I am not Japanese. Not, not Japanese Anime.

Like most french people I've grown with Anime, it's been over present on all medias since the end of the 70s.
Anime is like "Comics Culture" : super wide. You can't sum it up in a few words since there's absolutely everything in it, from awesome to awefull.

There are some specificities to it, but not that much in reality... the "japanese specific references" are superficial... in reality is very accessible.

For example, there's a ton of fantastic Sci-Fi Anime, beautiful stories, extraordinary animations... but they're not really original...

In recent years netflix has released several excellent Animes, I can make recommendations based on what's available there? If you light MMA and fighting/action series, you should love BAKI and KENGAN ASHURA :).

Or you tell me what you like in general and I'll give you a list of suggestions based on that...

It's basically a 'style' of animation, but not always just for kids like UK animation is.

We all know the 'Octopus in the pussy' kinda thing on 'adult' websites, but there's also a lot of crazy stories that are very much for adults...

Try 'High School DxD' on Netflix. That's weird, funny, very edgy, not for kids and will give you a good idea of why it can be poopular.

Thanks for that. I have been recommended Bungo Stray Doys if that means anything to you.

Thanks. I'll take a look.

Currently on Ep.6 of Stray Dogs. Love it actually. Never expected to be saying that.

Anime is a giant body of work. Some terrible, a small part excellent, like almost any human pursuit

Anime hentai is good ;)

I love anime girls... :thumbsup

I have a friend in his mid 40's who is hooked up with Manga (Japanese comics).
He has a paid subscription online.
Young or old, it has a wide audience for sure.

There are a lot of niches I don't understand. Anime is one of them.

Plushies I do get.

In general, I do enjoy Anime. The animation style is awesome. The first anime that I was introduced to was Hellsing. If you are into vampires, you should check it out.

I've heard about it, I've not watched it yet, glad you like it ;).

Highschool DxD recommended by CurrentlySober is excellent.

In recent years, there's one anime that stands above the others, it's "Attack on Titan".
It's a scifi/steampunk thriller extremely well drawn and animated, with a captivating story that manages to be original... it's violent, dynamic, surprising, disturbing... totally world class!!!
And you don't have to "like anime" to like "Attack on Titan"... you need to like the type of things I've listed above, press play and get thrilled :)

Animated videos (Westerners call them cartoons.) are usually made from Manga (Japanese comics), Games and Visual novels.

A sub culture of Cosplayers, fans dressing up in their favorite anime/manga characters started many years ago after being inspired by American cosplayers. Yep, cosplay started in the US. Japanese just pushed it into overdrive.

2020 saw the release of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba (Japanese: 鬼滅の刃, Hepburn: Kimetsu no Yaiba, lit. "Blade of Demon Destruction"[4])

Despite the pandemic the move is the highest grossing anime of all time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...ng_anime_films
