what a drag…

The Anime Connection

Posted in Anime by iambeyond on May 7, 2009

Few days ago I had a notion that cartoons are good but they can never compete with mainstream cinema. Well, I changed my notion a few days later. I had seen cartoons(oh gosh! Sorry they are animes) like Beyblade, Pokemon etc. While Pokemon was a big yawn, Beyblade did capture my imagination. Soon I’ve become a big fan of Beyblade and was watching it on T.V. regularly. Beyblade was really fun and engaging. In Beyblade I liked the characters of Kai and Tyson much. These characters were really likeable. But  after sometime Beyblade series ended and my interest in Japanese Anime also faded with it.

I had watched another anime called “Dragonballz” sometimes, although it was good, sometimes I was frustated with it. I was frustated because during any fight scene the good guys and bad guys spent most of the time talking(or yelling)  to each other rather than fighting. But later I discovered that Dragonballz was really was a good anime, with great fight scenes except the problem with it I stated above. Actually, Dragonballz was/is an international blockbuster series of anime that has become a cult of sorts. It’s a legend now.

The Legendary Dragonball Characters

My brother was watching a cartoon called as “Naruto” on the cartoon network. Few days I ignored it, but later was keen on knowing who really was the main character of the series.  I saw a character in it who had black hair and was really cool, and thought that he must be the main character, the chatacter “Naruto”. But  to my dismay I found that he wasn’t Naruto, Naruto was a Blonde haired loser(at least he seemed to me like that at first) always yelling unreasonable words. After seeing the main character I thought that this anime series was no good and decided not to watch it. Later while I was watching T.V., my other brother kept the “Naruto” anime and I was forced to watch it. I enjoyed that episode so much that I could not believe that this anime was so good, and so decided to watch it.

My friend said that he had episodes of Naruto, so I bought the episodes from him. I watched few episodes, and I was soon watching it from morning till evening continuously, this anime was too addicting man(so very good). I finished 180+ episodes within few days. The character “Naruto” was too good, and I became a big fan of that character. He was really the coolest character that I ever saw. He was funny, courageous, and would never give up. You will too like him very much if you watch the anime.

The Fights, the music, action, story, characters etc were so extraordinary. By the time the season 1 of Naruto was ending I was convinced that Anime can really be as good as movies(or maybe better). Thereafter, I watched some more animes like Fullmetal Alchemist, One piece etc. Be sure to check out animes, Naruto is a special recommendation, but beware you might get addicted to them.

 

Hi, I am Naruto.

Hi, I am Naruto.

See you people.

Cheers.

p.s: Japanese object calling anime as cartoons.
