Influence of animes in 21st century

 

Recently animes has gotten so popular that almost everyone knows about it and has watched at least one anime. Animes are basically a style of animation originated from japan which is then characterised by stark colourful graphics depicting vibrant characters in very intriguing and interesting plots with brilliant themes. And it is famous to such a point that anime characters are literally everywhere even at our own university cultural festivals namely urokobi utshab. As a new otaku myself, I can genuinely say that anime has gotten me hook, line and sinker. Not only that it has also gotten me into mangas and manhwas as well! The beauty of animes is that they transport us into this magical universe while projecting real life problems making it our favourite watch. Not only that it has so many genres that we have a hundreds of animes to choose from. Examples of animes from different genres-

1. Naruto

Who has not heard of naruto? It has become so famous that there are companies earning millions from just selling naruto merches, clothing and figurines. This action anime is about the life of a boy hated by everyone who wants to be a ninja for the sole purpose of gaining love and admiration from others. This series shows his journey where he faces many hurdles, betrayals, losses and pain and him ambitionto becomethe strongest ninja. Naruto is the most popular anime in 93 countries despite being a super lengthy anime needing at least 264 hours to finish the series.
 

2. Aho girl

Aho girl is a comedy or slice of life anime I would recommend to anyone wanting a good laugh. This series revolves around an air headed high school girl who loves bananas and her acclaimed crush akuru who is a diligent and smart friend. All while her friend trying to get her on the right track. This is a great story about friendship and how innocent and loving it can be!

3. Violet evergarden 

The first drama anime that comes to mind is Violet Evergarden. It is an adaption of a Japanese light novel by Kana Atsuki. Violet evergarden shows the life of a emotionally detached soldier settling into post war life while taking the work of a ghostwriter for the sole purpose of finding the meaning of the words ' I love you' .While the theme is dark and deals with psychological issues, it drove its extremely emotional moments home and is arguably one of the best animes.

 4. Grave of the         butterflies 

Grave of the butterflies is also a notable anime of the genre drama. The story is about two siblings depending on each other, about their struggles for staying alive having lost both their parents to world war2 . This was a real life story written by Akiyuki Nosaka who wrote it to come to terms with losing his sister to malnutrition during the war.



 

5. Yona of the dawn 

Yona of the dawn is an excellent example of the genre romance. This anime circles around the life of a crimson haired princess sheltered by her father, having her whole life changed after the assassination of her father the emperor by her trusted friend and navigating her life to survive with the help of her friend and general Hak while working for her motherland and finding herself the lord of four dragons. It can be categorised as a historical fiction as well as it is based on the three kingdoms of Korea period and its diverse cultures.

6. Jujutsu Kaisen

Jujutsu kaisen 0 is an extremely popular action, tragedy, fantasy anime having the record of climbing past Us$180 Million worldwide. The story starts with a boy swallowed the finger of a demon to protect his friends and ends up becoming the demons host. And the story them follows his journey with joining Tokyo Metropolitan Magic Technical College to free him from the curse while meeting strong jujutsu sorcerers.

Animes now are so diverse with many interesting storyline, plot twists that we can not help but get addicted to this. Unbeknownst to us , we have been watching animes since childhood namely doraemon, ninja hatori , shinchan, pokemon and so on. Just now the name anime and its origin East Asia has become more widespread. Specially during the pandemic with everyone living in the homes and having nothing to do to pass their time, anime has been a great hobby to pursue. So even post pandemic people are still eagerly waiting for the release of their favourite anime series.
