A perspective that's pretty valuable to explore is that of a game developer. From a developer's lens, anime throws open an exciting world full of endless possibilities in terms of design, narrative and game mechanics. Every anime, comic or novel can potentially evolve into a thrilling game, with its unique characters, plots, and settings. For instance, 'World of Warcraft' expanded the lore of Azeroth far beyond the original game, while 'Darkest Dungeon' found its inspiration in the grimdark world of fantasy novels.
Another way to view anime is through the eyes of a critic. With a critical eye, every work is a cacophony of themes, styles, and narratives to examine, critique and review. A fascinating example is Marvel's 'Infinity Saga', whose intricate, overreaching narrative prompted a myriad of interpretations and discussions.
As a parent, anime could serve as both an educational tool and an engagement avenue for the young ones. From 'Sesame Street' that educates children about basic life skills, to 'Pokémon', teaching them about friendship and teamwork, the value of anime in parenting should never be underestimated.
Lastly, as an avid anime consumer, every new release, every plot twist, every character development is a thrill, a heartache, a joy. This passion fuels fan theories and fan art, and engenders communities as diverse as the works they love. To us, anime is not just content - it's a part of our lives.
It's all about entertainment and relaxation as far as the guy on the street is concerned. The moment you return after a weary day can be filled completely with watching good anime. In the hearts of devotees, ACGN is beyond entertainment. It is part of one's very identity. The day starts with such properly consecutive ("this refers to art / gives time periods and is incomplete) series as "Attack on Titan" and ends looking for late-breaking "One Piece" chapters.
As a fan, it's a source of joy and excitement, something to look forward to. As a critic, it's an intellectual exercise - to dissect narratives, analyze character development and ponder thematic explorations. From the view of a creator, it's a medium to tell stories and express oneself.
One might view anime as a contemporary art form, pushing the boundaries of visual storytelling. Anime is a cultural phenomenon, influencing and influenced by society's ever-changing norms and values. For a fan, these mediums provide a platform to escape, imagine and connect. From an industry standpoint, it's a dynamic and ever-evolving market with huge potential for economic profitability.
