I want to talk to you about the anime. This kind of cartoon has long been more popular in Europe and America than in Japan itself. The main difference between anime and other cartoons is that it is more for an adult or a teenage audience.
I myself started watching anime only at 22 and was pleasantly surprised. Anime is very realistic and has its charm. The Japanese do not refer to the anime as a cartoon, but rather as a film. The Japanese themselves do not like anime, and it's more popular abroad. Anime is more like a brand of Japan. Thanks to anime, Japan knows the whole world. For example, this is a typical car in Japan.
Anime became so popular that manufacturers began to produce many toys. It is interesting that not only children play with anime toys, but many adults also collect toys for the collection.
Many fans go even further and want to look like anime characters themselves. Fans buy things or make them with their own hands. This is called cosplay. People gather in groups or several people and are photographed.
Many people go even further. For example, men want to become anime girls and dress up like them. Then it happens.
I also heard that some countries want to ban anime. For example, in Russia authorities want to ban anime, because it has a bad effect on the psyche. I think it's total nonsense, because it's just a cartoon and banning the cartoon is stupid. This is already a restriction of a person's personal freedom, because we ourselves can decide what to look at.
In my opinion, the anime is very diverse. For every taste. This is something that children will be interested to watch with their parents (if the genre is suitable). Watch the anime and enjoy!
