Today, anime has become an integral part of Japanese culture. People of all ages can enjoy watching anime, young and old. So why exactly has anime grown so successfully in Japan? Recently, a Japanese website launched a discussion on "why Japan is developing anime". So let's take a look at how Japanese netizens view the secret of Japanese anime's popularity.

■The contribution of manga artists is immeasurable

A netizen named IDii24 replied, "It's all the credit of Osamu Tezuka." After the anime was set to 30 minutes per week, Mr. Tezuka used methods such as saving storyboards and reusing backgrounds to ensure that the anime was broadcast for 30 minutes per week. In this way, animation can be produced in large quantities, and new works have sprung up in front of everyone. ”

In other words, the fact that an anime that is broadcast on TV with a length of 30 minutes may have given birth to the development of Japan's unique animation culture.

Rokometto commented, "I think writers such as Osamu Tezuka and Fujiko F. Fujio have made outstanding contributions to the development of anime. Their works will be interesting even for adults. Speaking of which, wasn't the first Japanese animation "Astro Boy"? …… In addition, there are also Black Jack, Doraemon, Superman Parmen, and so on, and if you look back at it, you can think of many masterpieces that are talked about to this day. ”

There are also many people who agree: "When it comes to Osamu Tezuka and Fujiko F. Fujio, they are all masters that every Japanese person knows." "It seems that the writers who have attracted the attention of the world constitute a big reason for the development of anime.

In addition, noname#194996 also added, "Osamu Tezuka created a large number of excellent manga works for children after the war, which is inseparable from the development of domestic manga in the future. In addition, Tezuka-sensei's works allow children to not have a negative image after watching them, and at the same time, they can withstand the aesthetic perspective of adults. ”

■Japan's unique culture has contributed to development

On the other hand, some netizens also posted the following answers.

Hekiyu: "Manga is a culture that emerges from people's lives. Popular culture accounts for a very large proportion of Japanese culture. This is not the same as in other countries. Moreover, the comic method of expression xiàn caters to the Japanese people, which also constitutes the reason for its rise in China. ”

Ichikawaseiji seems to be a person who is very familiar with history. He gave a detailed explanation of Osamu Tezuka's anime works before his debut: "Speaking of manga, if you go back in time, you can think of something very old. If we talk about the ancestor of modern manga after the Meiji era, it should be Kitazawa Rakuten. And Osamu Tezuka was also influenced by that person to become a professional manga artist. He adds, "The specialty of Japanese culture is that the distinction between mainstream culture and subculture is not clear and very vague. ”

From their words, it can be seen that the development of Japanese anime may be inseparable from the efforts of modern manga artists on the one hand, and the unique culture of Japan on the other. If you think about it this way, maybe Japanese anime is not just "otaku", but has a deeper connotation!
