Are you a student that is interested in cartoons? Are you bored with normal everyday cartoons? Well then I have something better that might interest you! It’s called Anime and it comes from the country of Japan! Not only do these cartoons have humor in them, but they also have a lot of action as well.
Anime has been around since cartoons were in black and white and its legacy still lives on today! One particularly good anime cartoon is called Death Note. In this anime, a boy named Light finds a book that a thing called a death god uses to kill people when their time to die rolls around. Light finds it laying around one day and he starts using it for executing prisoners. Meanwhile, the police are trying to find him and a teenage detective who goes by the alias name of L. This anime is filled with lots of suspense and mystery if that is the thing you’re interested in.
If you’re interested in ninjas, then I suggest the anime “Naruto”. This anime has a lot of ninjas and a lot of ninja magic. Just like Death Note, this anime is packed with suspense, lots of action, and a little bit of romance even. A boy named Naruto gets cursed by having a monster sealed inside his body and he becomes an outcast from society, even after he becomes a ninja. He is fighting a man named Orochimaru while trying to get a friend of his back who turned to Orochimaru’s side. It is an excellent anime with lots of action and ninjas, so check it out!
If you want an anime filled with monsters and humor as well as action, then “Legendz” is for you! It’s about a boy named Shuu and his friends who get special monsters called “Legendz” to help them fight against the Dark Wiz Company. The Dark Wiz Company is a evil organization that uses Legendz to try and take the Legendz away from the children. This is just another anime to check out if your interested in that kind of thing.
Personally, I like to draw characters from anime and stuff like that. I print a picture from the internet usually and I just start drawing. I also like to try and think of my own anime cartoon ideas. My friends and I are all into anime so you can ask any of us about a certain anime and we have probably seen it or are aware of it. I’m an anime freak myself really. That’s where you can find me, sitting in my room on Saturdays mainly and I just watch nothing but anime! “You’re an anime freak Russell, gonna sit around, eat, and watch anime all day?” as said by Grant Stoner.
