Japanese Anime is not just for Children

【Jason from Australia】
While cartoons from other countries are often made for children, the themes and storytelling of Japanese anime are diverse and attractive such as the emotionally engaging ‘Naruto,’ and ‘Attack on Titan‘ depicting human tragedy. Not only the main character, but each character has a well-developed story, and the depth of that is very interesting. Even adults can find characters who can connect with.

Japanese anime series are shown on TV!

【My best 3 Japanese anime】
1st. ONE PIECE
2nd. Attack on Titan
3rd. Gin Tama

In Australia, Japanese anime series are shown on TV on weekday mornings. I would watch them before school and talk about them with my classmates. Sometimes, character names and theme songs are different from the original, but the attractiveness is still the same.
