Anime

Its amazing what Japanese animation companies can create. The beautiful colors intwined with the emotional roller-coster rides.

I have watched a lot of the more famous anime films and series like:


Bleach

The basic plot is that the main character Ichigo Kurosaki who is just a normal teenager suddenly finds that he has the power to see things that normal people wouldn't. In this case it is the Soul Reapers. Soul Reapers hunt down evil souls and send them back to the underworld (or what ever you want to call it) before they can harm anyone, some Soul Reapers are evil as well.


So basically Ichigo ends up learning to control his power and then fights the evil souls and the Soul Reapers. This takes him on an adventure of 29 manga books, 49 DVD compilations, 11 CD sound tracks, 3 films ( 4 coming out 2010).


Studio Ghibli

If you know of Studio Ghibli you will understand that the studio have made over 20 films but I find all of them incredible.

Here is an image of some of the films Studio Ghibli have created. All of these films have come from one man Hayao Miyazaki who was the founder of the studio itself. His son has now started to take over the business with his first movie getting released Ponyo on the cliff by the sea. Hayao is still creating his master pieces with the creation of his Disney film about a talking fish.


The Girl who leapt through time


This is the earliest anime movie I have seen. This movie has inspired me to create something like this. Here is a picture of the movie poster.


The story be hide this movie is that the girl acquires the ability to travel trough time but she releases too late that the power only lasts 100 uses. This means she has to fix all the situations that the time jumping has put on other people and she also has to save her friends life all with a small amount of jumps.


All these animations are brilliant because of there amazing story's and I feel the style they are drawn. From watching all these and looking at other Japanese art work I would love to create a anime style animation. This will evolve around the Japanese culture so I will use the japanese letters and technology. I believe doing this in this way will make me do more detailed work and spend more time on it because I am using something I like to basic it on.
