Anime
Anime is Japanese cartoons, but
they are not just cartoons, there is a bigger depth to it. When people think of
anime they often think of the famous TV series Pokémon. Pokémon means pocket
monsters; it is based of animals in real life animals. However anime is not
just fancy creatures with magical powers there are some meaningful anime
programmes such as Patlabor. Which means mobile police, it is about the future
and how robots work for humans and keep everything in control, but many deaths
happen along the way, it is extremely sad.
The most popular Anime series is Pokémon, however I think
that Pokémon is very overrated, as the story line is very boring after a while
because it is very repetitive, the only thing that happens is a Boy called Ash
winning a new Gym badge for beating someone else’s Pokémon in a battle with his Pokémon, this
would be fun as anime action is enjoyable to watch, but Pokémon is too
predictable as we know that Ash will win, get a gym badge, and then the
cliff-hanger will be whether he will win the next battle that is coming up,
when we all know he does.
An anime series that is much better than Pokémon but does
not get the credit for it is Digimon which means Digital Monsters, a few
reasons why Digimon is better are;
1)
The opening for Digimon looks and sounds much
better, there is people falling from a cliff into the Digimon world while a
huge Digimon is watching, and there is also lightning bolts coming from Digimon
whilst heavy metal music is playing. Whereas Pokémon just shows the characters
throwing their Pokéballs (the storage place for the Pokémon) whilst some slow
sad sounding music plays.
2)
In Digimon all of the Digimon talk whereas
Pokémon don’t talk they just say their
name to communicate for example for Pikachu in Pokémon he would say
Pika-Pikach-Pikachu to say hello and say Pika-Pikach-Pikachu to say I’m hungry
which is just a bit silly as nobody understands what the Pokémon are saying apart from the Pokémon
3)
Evolution in Digimon is not permanent, for
example Pikachu evolves into Raichu, but if you liked Pikachu more then, sorry
but you can’t get Pikachu back, but in Digimon the Digimon can evolve but if
you don’t like what it evolved into then you can always change it back.
4)
In Digimon the villains are extremely creepy,
they are vicious and cruel whereas in Pokémon the villains are a bunch of
really silly people with a cat that talks, their only aim is to catch Pikachu
which is a Pokémon that is basically a yellow rabbit.
5)
In Pokémon whenever Ash won a gym battle against
another Pokémon trainer he would win a small little gym badge that was pretty
much worthless, but he carried on anyway, but in Digital Minsters there is a
Digimon crest that the characters get which is valuable and looks much better.
Anyway that’s enough about why Digimon is better than Pokémon, Let’s get
down to the real stuff, Anime is an art and many people are ignorant towards it
even though they know nothing about it. Many different anime movies and
programmes are absolutely am amazing such as My neighbour Totoro, Akira, Ghost
in the shell, The girl who leapt through time and last but not least my
favourite Patlabor 1&2.
Try watching anime you might find that you like it.
