Choosing An Anime Video Review Show

By Jayne Rutledge


For a lot of people Japanese animation is a passion. It is something that they love. As well as watching the shows and movies they often tend to collect memorabilia and dress up for cosplay shows. However you do not necessarily need to be someone who dresses up or collects plushies in order to appreciate an anime video review show.

Broadly speaking anime originated when American soldiers arrived in Japan during World War 2. They brought with them cartoons and comics. These distinct visuals would go on to influence a wide range of stories. While initially influenced by the American cartoons and comics over time the Japanese style would become more distinct.

However the Japanese did not merely copy their Western neighbours. They created a distinct look of their own. Typical examples of anime tend to be distinctly expressive facial features, slow motion and use of repeated frames. In some cases this is used to save time but it can also be used creatively as well.

As with the printed manga there is a diverse range of anime to choose from. It can cover everything from Hitchcockian thrillers to charming Disney style adventure suitable for the whole family. The problem can often be choosing something that you know you are going to like.

By contrast the work of Hayao Miyasaki is closer to Disney. Each frame is hand painted by the man himself. This creates a world of bright colours and gives it a look that is visually very distinct. However this should not be mistaken for cuteness as films such as Graveyard of the Fireflies and Princess Mononoke also have a fair amount of depth and do not shy away from controversial topics.

This is where a review show can help. They can guide you through the various titles out there and tell you whether or not they enjoyed what they watched as well as telling you about the plots and characters. Even the most advert fan of the genre will struggle to fill their shelves with all the titles out there so it helps to have someone who can discuss the various titles available and which are best for you.

Another variation may be to have a roundtable discussion. Some people prefer this as you get a broader range of views. It can then make it easier for you to decide whether or not this is an interesting title you want to see or one you wish to avoid. Alternatively you may want to choose a comedy review site that pokes fun at the genre. These are often best when you want to avoid the worst shows and films but equally this type of show can be entertaining in and of itself. It is important to remember that the people producing comical shows are often just as passionate as those who do serious reviews.

You can find a number of different types of anime video review shows online. It is also worth checking online and using social media to get recommendations from fans to see what shows they would personally recommend. This will make it easier to find one you like and also make it easier to find the shows and films that you are more likely to enjoy in this fascinating and diverse medium.
