People ask why anime or what makes it popular. Just ask yourself why, then why again when you create an answer. My answer was that it’s surreal and unworldly. Anime is able to pull things off that you can’t do in live action or television, while not looking silly or B movie like. Style and the fact that an anime doesn’t have to explain itself like science fiction. Two other aspects that seperates anime from other media is the strong focus on music. Looking at day time and evening shows, there’s little music and it plays a very small role if there is. The second, is how often you see characters on roof tops or very high structures. Being symbolic, random, and giving an epic feel makes up for the lack of plot focus. Because anime is animation, almost any type of movie or show that has people can be animated. More variety and more soul.

The video game Tales of Vesperia will feature work from the anime company Production IG, but it hasn’t been announced what consoles it’ll be for. The official site had Xbox 360 in the meta tags. Ooops.
