Why are anime series so short?
918463
It is true, they are not all short. Rurouni Kenshi has multiple seasons, and 7 movie releases, as well as Inuyasha, DBZ, Gundam and many more. However most series are very short because they are based on a Manga series which normally are not very long. The Anime's are basically just a summary of the Manga series thrown all together. But there are most that make it to more than one season. There are also the fact that many anime's that we recieve here in America are years and years old in Japan, where in Japan they are already running 2 new season's of the anime. But mainly it is up to the aritist/creator of the Manga's the shows are based off. I hope that this has helped answer your question.

Naruto is Ok but, I have to agree with you, no biggie. I personally like Inuyasha. DB series is cool too but battles take too long to finish.

Japanese animation industry mainly focuses on reality and philosophy rather than 'kids stuff' of the American animation industry. Look carefully as many of Japanese animation films, you will surely get about 99% of the cartoons and comics which contain reality and philosophy.\nFor example, if you can get the following videos like:\n\n1. Dan Detective School Q (DDS)\n2. Arjuna\n3. Wolf's rain\n4. Inu - Yasha\n5. Area 88\n            and there are a lot of other cartoons and comics like this.\n\nYou will definitely fall in love with them. These are filled with mind-blowing realities, suspence and whats more, with great philosophy to think and discuss about.\n As for American animation and comics, there are nothing else but stupidity and non-sense !!!!

Can you specify what you actually mean? \n\nI am a very big fan in anime and based on the ones you are watching, I have to tell you that it is just to make a better effect. I do hope you are not referring to hentai, but if you mean the moans and groans in the every day anime that are currently being watched, then I believe that it is because the Japanese companies want to make those sounds on purpose.\n\nThe characters' personalities would also be a reason behind these moans and groans as well. \n\nI have to contradict to a previous person, but anime is not a waste of time if you watch to understand the morals and understandings of life circumstances. I give my regards to the Japanese and their creative minds in making these wondrous animation shows. Some do not simply watch to just enjoy, but to understand the lessons in life as well.

Yes, no disney, no anime. After arround WW2 if I remember closely, there had been a huge demand for animation in Japan. So therefore, the budget can't be helped and more work with the art rather than the actual animation. Old school Disney fans don't like anime because of the lack of animation that simply put. In anime, realistic proportion can be taken, but the face can still be exagerated. That's another factor that sets people off. Somewhere there could be a culture issue, and since the two cultures are very different, the dubbers may not make a good English adaption. A stereotype of anime is "Sex/Naked ladies! Gore! Robots! Flying arms!". Most people don't look at what its about and deemed it as distasteful (keyword: Culture difference).\n\nWhy people like anime, but hate western animation? Simple. It's either A) they like detailed art,  B) the maturity/emotional or C)"because the show is in their favorite genre".Anime won in terms of diverstiy, hands down. The Japanese are not afraid to express themes of trauma and lonliness to children, so maturity might be another case. Most anime fans deem Western animation as childish, plotless (if it's a series), if its an action shows, its about super heroes and most of all, childish. True, we have Family guy and Simpsons, but neither is everybody lookin for sattire either. \n\nI watch and read anime alot, but I still find western animation appealing :p

You can watch a number of anime in Japanese or try to fansub an anime.  If you don't know Japanese, you could write up reviews on anime already existing or you can simply discuss anime (my friends and I love doing that).  You could all go to anime conventions on the weekends.

...I vote you start with simple anime like...Rave Master, Fruits Basket, Jeanne, stuff like that...I wouldn't go for it until your older...and why don't you read the summary at the beginning of the book?

if you are looking for the songs to inuyasha go to www.inuyashaworld.com.  they also have sister sites to other animes.  there might be one there for naruto.  in regards to why japanese animation is more popular is because it is so unique in it's design and the stories that are told.  original and down right weird at times, but still they seem to draw you in.  all the characters have extraordinary abilites of somekind.

I have never seen it but kids and/or people have this facination with anime, Japanese animation. It's probably because it's very different than what is in America. I think Naruto has a bigger fanbase than Inuyasha.

Hell no, there's no kind of artistic expression in a reality game show. Ugh!!! I'm a full grown man and I have an impressive collection of Anime and Manga which I was sadly turned on to when I was already an adult. My first Anime was "Fist of the North Star" and I had no idea that it contained so much violence and action and just as entertaining as a regular movie.

It usually gets cut out to be replaced by commercials, and usually the viewers don't even notice or aren't concerned. A number of Adult Swim's anime shows do show the episode titles, though.
