Anime is commonly known as Japanese animation. To me, the most important thing a good anime needs to be 'good' is of course, interesting animation. The visuals of a particular show or movie can turn a pathetic story into something very entertaining to watch. As well as coming across a pathetic anime with great animation, I'd also used to stumble upon an anime that had a fine story line but dull visuals. This made me think that the most important thing to an anime is the art...Yes anime can be dumb most of the time but if you grow up liking this style it could be something that could stick with you because of it's uniqueness, especially when you compare it to a normal cartoon and how much more advanced and remote it can be. One thing I liked about anime is that a lot of what it consists of can't be done or seen in a live action movie, probably because it would come off extremely corny. Then again, some animes' are pretty corny, (like when the show would add in too much sex appeal, like it's something the viewer needs) that's one of the few reasons why I don't like most anime any more. My anime years were when I was between the ages of 10-13, a very exciting three years. Over time I felt most of it became very dumb, dull, as well as not realising why I actually liked it. I'd still always prefer manga over anime because depending on which series there could be a lot more artsy features to it. Currently I am not into anime or manga at all, but there will always be a select few anime movies that will stay classic and always fun to watch, like the heart warming (and sad!) tale of war and family in Grave of the Fireflies.
