An Introduction To Anime
Anime an abbreviation for the word animation is a type of Japanese animation that is hand-drawn or computer-generated for entertainment purposes. When it comes to cartoons and anime, there is a significant difference between the two in terms of art style.
But before anything else, I'd like to extend my gratitude to my sponsors for their support, and you can visit their accounts to read interesting piece
Anime is a type of cartoon, indeed, but its main distinguishing feature is that it is produced by the people in the wealthy country of Japan. Genre is an artistic category of artistic plot and composition that distinguishes each story, some might come in fantasy, adventure, horror, etc. but anime still has different types. These anime were created depending upon their target audience and viewer in mind.
Here are the five types of Anime
Shonen, young teen males between the ages of 12 and 18 were the target audience for this type of anime. Shonen is thought to be one of the five most popular types of anime, owing to the fact that it is primarily watched by young men. This type of anime usually has a long series and focuses on adventure, action, and fighting. Some of the most well-known shonen franchises include Naruto, One Piece, and Dragon Ball.
Shojo is the polar opposite of shonen, their target audience is usually young females of 12 and 18. Shojo also means "young girl" in Japanese, and it can be distinguished from shonen by the protagonist of the story; shonen stories feature a male protagonist, whereas shojo stories feature a female protagonist. Being primarily targeted at a teenage girl audience does not necessarily imply that the entire story will not just revolve around a romance plot, it all depends on the storyline. Shojo includes a fantasy kind of romance, but it also has a twist in that it piques the audience's interest in the protagonist.
Seinen like shonen, anime is aimed at young men aged 12 to 18, though, unlike shonen, the anime story is more violent and physical. One of the stages of increasing the viewer's ability to watch stories with more psychological content. Attack on Titans is one of the most well-known stories in this category.
Josei this category is for people who have a more mature and realistic view of relationships. This category's stories are frequently viewed by young adult women. Prior to this category, all main characters were female, but a male can also be the main character with homosexual overtones.
Kodomomuke is the last but not least of the five categories enumerated, this one focuses on infusing morals, values and narrating imaginative stories to viewers, most of whom are children.

Generally speaking, these five categories contain a variety of storylines from which one can choose based on their preferences. Some of the information provided may not be followed because some viewers, despite being in the demographic of a young woman, prefer more violent story types. It all depends on the viewer's preferences, I personally, enjoy shonen anime, but I also enjoy romance stories; it all depends on my mood and preferences. Anime is brought to life by people who have dedicated their lives to bring us into a world beyond our wildest dreams. It was an escape from reality, a different world that any viewer wished to be a part of, as I always said. An entertainment that can't be described as "just entertainment" because, most of the time, the characters of a story help us cope with our distress and feel much more motivated.
I'm not quite certain about the whole concept, but I'm eager to learn, so if there's anything inappropriate with the information in this article, kindly let us know.
