Thread: What makes anime good?

    What makes anime good?

    I would say a great OST makes an anime supreme. Anime is nothing with music. NO matter how good the plot, the action, if the music sucks, its just not as good. Wat do you think is the key ingredient for a great anime?

    What makes anime good?

    The ability to do pretty much anything a person can imagine...in a live action film/tv there are many more restrictions...anime (providing it is well done) can pretty much do anything that occurs within the writers imagination...of course there will still be a budget to follow...but its still a lot less limited than anything live action can offer...the artwork of a lot of anime is also of such a high quality it is really something to behold...

    Personally, I think its a combination of all three... the imagination, music, and characters...

    But what I think really kicks it (at least here, stateside) is the nostalgia... you can finally watch cartoons again.

    You mean nothing without music? To me the drawings are most important. No matter how good the music or story is, if they drawings are horrible then I just can't enjoy it.

    RE: What makes anime good?

    I think every little bit makes the anime good. I would have to credit that Music can make a HUGH difference. But it comes down to every element. You can't be unbalanced.


    Excellent Music can make a anime excellent. One I would credit for excellent music that made a mediocre show worth watching was Saikano (I personally did not really like the story line. I didn't find it that interesting, however the music was excellent and did put on the show). About Saikano= By 3 quarterway, I felt I couldn't really care who was going to die next. Just get over it. NOir is another one. (I couldn't stand the pace of the show).

    There are some very good animes that don't necessarily have good art. However Art is important. One Anime with 'quite bad' Art would be Planet ES. However the character growth, the story line and the depth of the show is great.

    Plots. Yup Definite. But there have been some totally brainless shows that are incredibly entertaining.

    What makes an anime good? Everything. Just look at Full Metal ALchemist. Brilliant. Naruto is another one. Brilliant.
    MmmMmm. Ooiiishiii

    to me what makes naime good is the pure essence of a show.
    The way a story is told, the way the characters are introduced.
    The things they go trough, the lives they live.

    What especially makes anime good is the fact that it aint real.
    But it deals with situations that could be real.

    Ssome animes are just to good to be true. After watching 20 seconds of the intro you just know it's gonna be good.


    examples ?

    One Piece, Konjiki No Gash bell, Full Metal Alchemist, Airmaster , Naruto and the list goes on and on

    Besides this guy?



    Im a big sticklar for character development. A show like Planet Es i love to death. They gave background, developed the characters episode by episode, so in the later shows, where the plot matters, you have a feel for them and what they'll do.

    I like to know of my characters past,why he does why he does what he does, basically i like to know the background.

    Also, music helps A LOT. Tsukihime had awsome music, so does GITS SAC, it imerses(hey i can't spell) you more into the anime, if your into the music.

    What makes anime good differs from anime to anime.

    It does help that anime is not aimed at the bottom 10% of the Japanese people IQ-wise unlike another country's TV, though......

    What makes an anime good? For me it's a good story, good voice acting, and good animation and fight scenes.

    the thing that makes a good anime is that it needs to have a little bit of every thing, now with other animes like berserk it can have pure brutality but the creater need to make it work wiht the environment. the music is a vital part if you have a song that doenst go well with the situation it'll seem stupid. and it must have a good op. and ed. with good animation or it wont catch our attention. this is what i believe makes a good anime
