animé Question
American anime. Is it coming?
Like the question said, is it coming?
As I see it, the herald of its coming is "Avatar: the Last Airbender" and the sequel series "The Legend of Korra"
As I see it, Avatar was blatantly anime, though of an American style. From its plot, to characters, to its themes, and even the way they made it, when the ending already pre-determined, everything was distinctly anime.
Then there comes the sequel SERIES "The Legend of Korra" which breaks all the rules of American TV and Movies.
1. Like Avatar, the ending is already pre-determined and will last for 26 episodes (hmm I wonder what other series also usually last for 26 episodes? *wink wink*)
2. Its not new seasons, but a new season (a big no, no)
3. (and this one if the biggest rule breaker) It does not contain the original characters (*GASP* THE HORROR!) and it truly an entirely new series.
So could we start seeing more? Hopefully, but American animé will face some hurdles.
1. animé is generally looked down upon in the US (probably why there is no allusion to Avatar being considered an animé par its creators)
2. Non-life action shows/movies are not taken seriously in the US. In fact, the Oscars' category of "Best Animated Feature" shows how prejudice American culture is towards those genres (implying they aren't even considered for "Best Film"
3. The "single-run" format it uses. That is it runs for a pre-determined length and then stops. This means that the companies can't lait the series to death. And they will have to get a new series each time (the horror!)
4. animé is just so radically different from EVERYTHING. The plus and plus I have watched the anime, the plus and plus I understand this. And it will require radically new thinking par the American TV companies
Tell me what toi think? What are some signs that American animé might come and what struggles it might face?
I hope to turn this into an essay and post it on my blog.
