Anime
refers specifically to animation from Japan or as a
Japanese-disseminated animation style often characterized by colorful
graphics, vibrant characters and fantastical themes.
There are many anime out there which stick out to different people differently.
I myself didn't like anime at first ten years ago, but I later realized the "cartoon" I used to watch on TV were anime. They were the following: Princess Sarah, Fancy Lala, Robo 009. I wasn't allowed to watch any cartoon network or disney and these "cartoon" were aired on a channel called Sony during the 1600 - 1800 time period.
Anime to start out with!!
Later on my sister introduced me to Naruto (Ninjas! what more do you want??). Later on I went on to watch many other of different categories.
There are many genres in anime, most famous are "shounen", "shoujo", sports, supernatural, action, adventure, comedy, school. There are many but I have listed a few to introduce the anime world.
Shounen :
In the context of manga and associated media, the word shounen refers to a male audience roughly between the ages of 10 and 18. Anime that are targeted towards the 'young boy' market. The usual topics for this involve fighting, friendship and sometimes super powers.
example: Dragonball, Pokemon
Shoujo :
Anime that are targeted towards the 'young girl' market. Usually the story is from the point of view of a girl and deals with romance, drama or magic.
example: Sailor Moon, Special A
Sports :
Anime whose central theme revolves around sports, examples are tennis, boxing and basketball.
example: Captain Tsubasa(soccer), Haikyuu (volleyball)
Supernatural :
Anime of the paranormal stature. Demons, vampires, ghosts, undead, etc.
example: Attack on Titan, Blue Exorcist
Action :
Plays out mainly through a clash of physical forces. Frequently these stories have fast cuts, tough characters making quick decisions.
example: One Punch Man,Full Metal Alchemist
Adventure :
Exploring new places, environments or situations. This is often associated with people on long journeys to places far away encountering amazing things, usually not in an epic but in a rather gripping and interesting way.
