Time for a presentation from the house of beyblader! Welcome all, please flash your tickets when I come around during the production! Yeah, so here is my speech for ya! I gotta present it tomorrow, and I haven't practiced it yet, and Surviver is on at 9:00, and yeah, so tell me what ya all think! (Yes, Cody Spence is my real name.)
Today, I will present to you the story of anime, from its characters, to television shows, and even a glimpse into the ever growing anime market. Anime is originally from Japan, and has just recently made its way to North America. There are thousands of different anime, each with a special cast of characters and show characteristics.
As some parents would think, anime is just a bunch of ninjas fighting each other, and robots launching spinning tops. Well, a lot of anime are space age and futuristic. With giant robots, and spiritual creatures emerging from spin tops, who would think that anime isn’t important! Well, anime just so happens to be enjoyed by parents, as well as young adults. They grab the interest of many people, and hold them, so that one day, these people who have watched and experienced the excitement and thrills of anime, begin to create their own world of characters and topics leading to more ideas and jobs.
Anime range from western cowboys to space age robots. From spinning tops, to samurai’. Some 40 080 new anime emerge each year, which adds up to 40 new anime a week. Most get cut, due to lack of popularity, but some can last for up to 10 years! These are just a few of some of the most populair anime on the planet; Inuyasha, Trigon, Rurouni Kenshin, Cowboy BeBop, Hamtaro, Beyblade, Shaman King, Samurai X, Pokemon, Gundam Wing, One Piece, Naruto, Dragon Ball Z, Yu-Gi-Oh, Outlaw Star, and there are still many more. These anime are amouge the most popular because they each come from different catagories. Some are about monsters, demons, ninjas and pirates. Each has its own different story to tell.
Some anime are even made into manga, a form of comic mainly read by teens. Manga are usually the seeds to some very popular anime. In a comic known as Shonan Jump, such manga as Naruto, Yu-Gi-Oh, Dragon Ball Z, Shaman King, and YuYu Hakasu have made their debuts in the world of anime. All these are now very popular, and successful anime, which continue to run in Japan, the United States and some parts of Canada.
They speak in all sorts of languages, and are drawn by very talented artists. Vivid colours catch the eye of the viewer, and unique personalities intrigue the mind. These characters come in all shapes and sizes, different religions and even seem to have a mind of their own. Most anime artists must draw a hero for their anime, usually either a calm, cool, and collected adult, or a young, hyper, energetic kid.
Now, with so much publicity, anime is all over the market. Anime items range from Video games, action figures, manga, VHS and DVDs, cards and other toys. Its no wonder that where ever you go, your bound to see some anime item. Whether its the newest Gundam model kit, or the Robotech super poseable action figures, people everywhere seem to be pushing it in our faces.
You now have to wonder, what is anime? Is it the art, the history, the creators, the market? It is all of these things, each one holds a piece to the development and future of anime. I do not think anime will ever be destroy, or ever go away because people all over the world have their own ideas and will soon develop those ideas into new, more exciting anime.
