Audiences are more willing to accept more outrageous character design such as exaggerated proportions, wild hair colors, or even fashion. The fact Anime is animated rather than live action allows for a greater level of surrealism and extreme violence. Most Anime character design follows the same basic principles of large eyes that were inspired by DisneyвЂ™s character designs and the body proportions are more or less supposed to be in line with realistic body proportions. Most Anime begins life as Manga, or Japanese comic books, it is here where the basics of the character design, plot, and character building happens. Astro Boy set the basic foundation for how all other Anime was to be written, produced, and stylized. The emergence of what is recognizable as the archetype for modern Anime came in 1963 with Astro Boy. Japanese Anime can trace its roots back to a 1917 short where a Samurai tries to test out his sword. So much so that 60% of all Japanese film production is made up of Anime films. So with this new found understanding I wanted to take a look at a classic Anime that was very well received and that I have never seen with a better appreciation for the maturity the medium can show.Anime films are massively popular throughout Japan and around the world. I can now look at an Anime and understand where certain aspects come from and how it all comes together.

Mostly because it is an art form that I grew up with as a child and since learning to appreciate cinema on a whole new level have taken a new found interest in on a much deeper level. I chose to write my paper on Japanese Anime.
