Hello and Welcome to my Critical Analysis of Japanese Animation Blog!
First off, I’d like to introduce myself. My internet handle (nickname) is Kintaro and I have been observing the popular Japanese Animation scene otherwise known as “Anime” or “Japanimation” for some time now. Though certainly not a seasoned veteran like some folks who are in their mid thirties to early fourties, I still consider myself to be well versed in most aspects of this genre and the sub-cultures that is has created.
My intention with this blog is to use some of my free time to explore and analyze many of the aspecs of Japanese Animation that I find interesting and worthy of discussion. I plan to analyze everything from the art it’self, story line elements, cliches, stereotypes, and even do a few full fledged reviews of certain animations. At times, I will also be taking a close look at certain aspects of the sub cultures that have spawned from the introduction of Japanimation to the rest of the world.
I would also like to mention what this blog will not be. This will not be a blog where I will discuss at great length my favorite characters. This will not be a dumping ground for rants about how much I LOVE (insert series here) and how much I want to marry so-and-so. I have never felt that way about an animated character, but I will indeed take a look at this attitude at some point in time. And lastly, this will not be a website filled with fan art or fanfiction. These will be discussed, but that is not the purpose of this blog.
I wish to keep this as professional and hopefull educational as possible as I take a critical look at these many aspects of Japanese Animation. Comments and further criticism is encouraged, but please keep it insightful an relevant to the general attitude of this blog.
Have a nice day and I hope to have you return here for my updates!
