Anime Questions

[Blessed-one]

Clayman, it's hard to really form an overall opinion on anime as that is what you seems to be doing. Think of anime as movies or TV series, how can you make a judgement call on it? it's so diverse.

If you could give us some titles that your sister's watching as Saint Mark suggested, that would allow us a solid basis to give any useful advice as to what type of anime your sis's drawn to. You could also take a look at the 'anime misconceptions' sticky thread in this forum to get some general ideas on anime.

Anime shouldn't worry or frighten you, silly. It's so cool! Im a 45 yr old mom of a 13-yr old who draws anime, watches it, loves it. She drew an angel anime gal for the (catholic) school greeting card contest... I love her art, she is very focused with it. She could be doing other things..... Find something else to worry about, like your drippy faucet.

There is some Christian magna on the net for those interested. Recently I came across Shelter of Wings that looked rather promising.

Don't be worried! It's just a Japanese drawing style, and their story ideas just happen to a bit more creative than ours . (I do have to warn you though, the dubbed english versions can be very corny/cheesy at times ) The "anime books" are called manga, and they are just comic books...like batman, spiderman, etc. Which anime shows does she like? In Japan, they don't just have cartoons for children, but for adults too, which means that there are many genres (some being bad, some good, and some that are in the middle...just like all tv shows).

I resent that remark >(

Take away the fancy japanese title, and you get: cartoon. It all just depends on how strict you are with your viewing.

Aaannd i have a bunch more opinions on this issue but half have already been mentioned and the other half regard stereotypes and art which i don't suppose they really pertain to the topic. lol
