New hero was born about 60-50 years ago, which contributed a lot to the noir genre. The signs of the new hero are silent, cynical, usually at odds with the law and society, torn apart by internal conflicts, but hiding a vulnerable soul under ice armor. This "anti-hero" became a contrast to the usual image of a "knight without fear and reproach" with open face, friendly and correct.
Over the years, the image of a gloomy cynic acquired new details in the spirit of the time, enriched with meanings, gradually transforming into a gloomy romantic, and became so seductive that Japanese animators simply could not pass by. Still - such scope for imagination with a minimum of effort! ^_^ Moreover, the authors were so carried away that the current hero - "terrible in character on the outside, but beautiful on the inside", also became a common cliché. But the presence of such a hero guarantees high interest from the spectators, because gloomy romance has always excited the female heart.
This strange young man only loves his combat aircraft. With difficulty obeys the orders of the commander and friend Jack Bukhar. Ignores any attempts by others to infiltrate him inner world. This hero is extremely closed and independent, lives in his own own world, limited by the cockpit of a combat aircraft and the sky of an alien planet. It is difficult to communicate with him, he makes an unpleasant impression on many, but the circumstances are such that over time, others begin to unconditionally trust his opinion. The guy sparkled like a shooting star, but left a very deep imprint in the hearts of those who knew him, and, literally, decided the outcome of the war between humanity and alien intelligence.
The independence of this hero has its origins in his profound knowledge human nature. At the same time, the Apothecary is calm and humanly generous in a Buddhist way, and always secretly hopes to make a mistake with the conclusions. His dual nature is under tight control and manifests itself only when the culprit is found, actions are weighed and considered, motives are determined. The pharmacist does not like to talk much, but his remarks are accurate, and he sees through people. This is the case when knowledge is power. His coolness is in his wisdom, knowledge of the world and people. Well, magic, of course.
Unlike most of the heroes on our list, this young man has an explosive and angry character, intemperance of emotions and prejudice towards others, often without justification. With all this, Kanda is one of the best exorcists of the Order. His weakness is fellow members of the order, especially Lenalee Lee and Lavi. He carefully hides this weakness under feigned coldness. But as soon as his friends are in danger, the cold-blooded Kanda simply breaks the roof and he is able to do both stupid things and feats. With other heroes from our list, he is connected by the belief that silence is golden, unwillingness to show his weaknesses, rhino stubbornness and courage.
How, you ask, how did this cynical careerist end up on the list of our heroes?! But what about the demonstrated lack of emotion, arrogantly patronizing tone, ostentatious cynicism and cruelty, under which deep hidden strong and pure feelings are hidden - anger, a thirst for revenge, tenderness and love? Definitely our man. Except purely external signs"tough guy", Roy Mustang is shown as a professional in his field, an excellent strategist, a person who is able to keep his feelings in check for the sake of highest goal, but ready to let go of emotions when needed.
They say about such people: “Adherent to the law!”. This hero is the twenty-eighth head of the Kuchiki clan, one of the great noble houses of Soul Society. He is also the captain of the sixth division of the Gotei 13. An aristocrat and wears his noble origin as armor, demanding from himself and others unconditional obedience to the rules and traditions. Outwardly, he is always imperturbable, indifferent and arrogant. All this hides a deep internal conflict, because Byakuya himself broke the rules, albeit with a good purpose. But for a pedant like him, that's no excuse. Luckily, Byakuya has a noble soul and knows how to admit his mistakes.
A police bloodhound, a Public Security Bureau enforcer in a brave new world ruled by the Sibyl, a computer system. A proud loner who made the decision to be out of society knowingly and for good personal reasons. He is silent and does not initiate others into his plans, not out of arrogance, but out of concern, so as not to harm people whose views he does not share, but whom he respects. He is so independent that it doesn't even occur to the "Sibyl" to win him over to his side, only to kill him. Because such a person cannot be caught either on vanity, or on money, or on the promises of power. It's pointless to even suggest.
One of the Dragons of Heaven, Guardians. A member of the powerful ommeji clan, possessing magic power, at first not believing in victory and ready for defeat. A character that not only girls fall in love with en masse, he is so romantic. Robert Patisson enviously smokes on the sidelines, because he will never play such obedience to fate. It's good that the hero changes over the course of the series, ceases to doomedly follow his predestined fate and fights for the future of people already seriously, and not on "duty".
An older demonic brother who is rather contemptuous of the younger, the human race, enemies, surrounding reality, paternal precepts ... And this contempt is not feigned, do not hope. But, as it suddenly turns out, this arrogant demon is very soft in his soul, remembers goodness, does not destroy the world for no reason, takes a child to raise, and still does not raise a hand to kill a hated brother. But he rises - to fight with Naraku and even save his younger brother with a horde of his friends who are tangled under their feet. A classic example of a pretentious hero who has a single weakness ... fatal for pathos.
For once, we have before us an adult man, a whole person, not burdened with teenage complexes. The complete opposite of the flighty Mugen. Almost always serious, cold-blooded in battle, measured in words. At the same time, it’s not a fool to visit the red-light district on occasion and sharpen a katana on the heads of enemies. Always and with great enthusiasm takes the opportunity to show Mugen who is here d "Artagnan, and who just went out for a walk. Hides true feelings deep inside, but very attached to his strange fellow travelers.
famous vice president school club. He is so cynical that he squeezes money out of everything: romantic feelings, the desire of girls to listen to compliments, complexes of rich ladies, the common secret of club members ... A secretive cracker, all the time with a calculator, he knows everything in advance, calculates everything ... And he turns out to be completely unarmed before the sincerity and love of life of his Tamaki's friend, Haruhi's innocence, the twins' defenseless pricklyness, Morizuki's calm patience, and Honey's foolishness. It is not easy for a super-rich nerd, heir to a super-corporation, to discover one day that money is not everything in this life. But Kay definitely liked this discovery…definitely…
That's who is really dangerous, independent and cool. Still - the guy has the ability to control electricity, is an agent of a secret organization, a "cleaner", knows quite a lot and is trying hard to learn even more. Clever, easily fools the police, a worthy adversary, with whom enemies are considered, a devoted friend. As a real hero, he has weaknesses. Like u true man, these weaknesses are girls. A striking example of a hero overcoming himself, circumstances and fate.
NICHOLAS D. WOLFWOOD Trigun. Ruthless killer, cold-blooded traitor, cynical lover. devoted friend, gentle lover, daredevil and joker. All this is about him, two-faced. There are many allusions to Saint Paul in the image of Nicholas, who also went through a complete soul-searching after meeting another weirdo. An anti-hero in the fullest sense, charismatic, unpretentious, sometimes talkative. At first, he evokes burning sympathy with his courage and adult, if not cynical, attitude towards life. And in the end - warm sympathy.
Sasuke Sagara "Full Metal Panic!". This is an image that is completely devoid of romance - a stupid martinet, not a word to say with the girls, only to wave guns, that is, he knows how to control the fur. True, as soon as the authors slightly open the veil of secrecy over Sagara's past, the attitude of viewers, especially viewers, towards him changes. And there is an explanation for his ignorance, and awkwardness with girls, and stubbornness, and cruelty. And for all his faults, no one ever doubted Sagara's courage and devotion, right? No one doubted that it was Sagara who would come and save everyone. More something and no one.
KENJI HARIMA "School Rumble". And here we have an "anti-hero on the contrary." Under the guise of a bully, a cynic and a stupid fighter, a generous, vulnerable, talented and loving youth. What a pity that girls pay attention to appearance and rarely look into the very soul! This is available only to a few girls who themselves have a thin, vulnerable soul. What a pity it is that boys fall in love with pretty silly girls who can't appreciate them! But that's what love is, which strikes like lightning without aiming - and it's pointless to grumble. But Kenji is a hero, although a comedic one, but he is unconditional. Such work on oneself, such changes are available only to true cool heroes!
The silent hero circles through the labyrinths of "dense metallurgical forests" strange city which devours itself and builds itself. He fights terrible cybernetic creatures, finds people, accepts help or refuses it, and searches, he does not know what truth. Cold and dazzling - without future and past, without hesitation, a shadow of fear or doubt in actions, any reality is taken for granted by him. Such a merciless image of an absolute hero, almost devoid of human emotions, which, by the way, it is ...
Tatsumi Oga "Beelzebub". Children are the flowers of life, even satanic children. It is difficult to argue with this, but if you suddenly want to, look how the pathological fighter Oga Tatsumi has changed from communicating with a child and realizing a sense of responsibility! If earlier he fought just like that, because his fists were itching, then after the hellish child got into his upbringing, all his fights acquired a deep meaning and a clear goal! And if without jokes, then using the example of this comedy character, it is shown to an unsuspecting viewer that a gopnik can turn out to be sensitive and generous, and, without losing a purely boyish ability to deftly fight and not retreat, learn to compromise and see in people and good. Such spiritual work shows true hero, albeit somewhat noisy for the ideal, but very, very stubborn.
STAZ CHARLIE VLAD (Blood Lad). Will a kind, sympathetic and sensitive person be able to lead one of the largest sectors for several years? afterlife? Staz, a cruel vampire drinking human blood, could not be suspected of such character traits. But the appearance in hell of Fuyumi Anagi, allowed the viewer to enjoy true character this hero. Under the mask of a vampire hides a person who, for the sake of love, is able to turn rivers into a new direction, destroy a couple of cities with residents and tear to shreds anyone who gets in her way of returning Fuyumi to human world. And, listing the possibilities of Staz, I am far from being figurative. There is a bullet in his heart, fired as a child by his own older brother, in order to reduce the boundless power of the young vampire.

Are you into cinema? Eagerly catching the news of the film industry and waiting for the next high-profile blockbuster? Then you have come to the right place, because here we have selected a lot of videos on this fascinating and truly immense topic. Movies and cartoons should be divided into three main age categories - children's, teenage and adult.
Cartoons and films for children are most often some kind of fantasy and adventure. Simple and easily digestible life lessons, a pretty atmosphere or a storyboard (if it is a cartoon brainchild) contribute to the manifestation children's interest. Most of these cartoons are pretty stupid, because they are made by people who do not have the slightest desire to work, but simply want to make money on your desire to distract the child for an hour or two. Such moments, in fact, are even dangerous for a fragile children's brain and can harm it, and therefore we don’t have such frank slag. We have collected for you both short and not very short cartoons that will not only distract your child, but also teach him to love himself, the world and the people around him. Even in children's cartoons, the plot and memorable characters and dialogues are important, because even the best thought will not be accepted from a person you do not trust. That is why we set out to select the most outstanding cartoons. How modern animations, and the old Soviet or American classics.
Movies and cartoons for teenagers for the most part have the same problem as children's cartoons. They are also often made hastily lazy directors, and it is sometimes incredibly difficult to select something good among them. However, we did our best and put on display several hundred magnificent works that may be of interest not only to teenagers, but also to adults. Small interesting short films, which sometimes even win awards at various animation exhibitions, can be of interest to absolutely anyone.
And, of course, where without adult short films. There is no outright violence or vulgar scenes, but there are a lot of non-childish topics that can make you think about them for hours. Various questions of life, interesting dialogues, and sometimes even a very well-made action. There is everything that an adult needs to have a good time and relax after hard working days, stretching out in a comfortable position with a cup of hot tea.
You should also not forget about trailers for upcoming films or cartoons, because such short videos are sometimes more interesting than the work itself. A good trailer is also part of cinematic art. Many people like to watch them, take them apart frame by frame and wonder about what awaits them in the work itself. The site even has entire sections that are devoted to the analysis of trailers for popular films.
On our site you can easily choose a movie or cartoon to your liking, which will reward you with positive emotions from watching and will remain in your memory for a long time.
Do you know a lot of anime, where he hides his strength, or pretends to be weak? Surely a lot. Or at least there are a couple of examples with a protagonist who will have several skeletons behind him in the closet.
Most often, such a plot can be found in the shonen genre or, as is now fashionable, in a magic school. Almost every second series (if not the first) is full of similar plot twists.
We will try to consider the newest representatives of this category:
The Irregular at Magic High School
An anime with a strong gg that hides its power, or rather about a brother and sister. The story is set in a world where magic and science go hand in hand and are almost interchangeable. In such a universe, people are divided into ordinary people and magicians, and the latter, in turn, on the "weeds" and the elect.
IN Once again the system appears before the viewer social inequality and clan system, which, within the framework of this work very much affected. Main character named Tatsuya enters educational institution With top score in theory, but in practice he is just a weakling. But is it really so?
The first season was produced by the MadHouse studio, and feature film did "8 bit".
Welcome to the Classroom of the Elite
Anime, where he is a loner and hides his strength, and this time there were no witchcraft and similar paraphernalia, which makes the film adaptation of the short story of the same name more interesting.
The story is told from the perspective of a protagonist named Kiyotaka Ayanokouji. He enters elite school, which is famous not only for its graduates around the world, but also horrifies their students from local rules and traditions. By a strange coincidence, Kiyotaka falls into the worst of the classes, which is fighting for survival (an attempt to avoid expulsion or punishment for poor progress).
There, the protagonist meets a silent and unfriendly girl named Morikita, who also, due to certain factors, becomes Ayanokouji's neighbor. But is it really so inept and inexperienced that an ordinary-looking high school student who constantly talks about it. Or, perhaps, he pursues certain goals that are understandable only to him.
The animated series was released in 2012, and the studio "Lerche" is responsible for the production.
Persona 5 (Persona 5)
A film adaptation of the most popular and best-selling game in Japan, which received the highest ratings in both the east and west. This is the most anime about a guy who hides his strength and his peers who help him in this matter.
The plot line is this:
The protagonist intervenes in a quarrel between a man and a woman, the outcome of which could lead to very sad consequences. As a result, the brawler turns out to be nothing more than an important state rank. The result is obvious: the girl is forced to be silent, and the brave poor fellow is accused of a crime that he did not commit.
After a while, almost abandoned to the will of fate, the unfortunate high school student moves in with the owner of the cafe, who is an acquaintance of his parents. A labeled thug and a criminal on the probationary period starts going to a new school.
Did he know that on the very first day of his visit he would become not only a hostage in virtual world, to gain a mysterious power and a reliable friend, but it is also possible to prevent the approaching and inevitable death of mankind.
Anime from the studio "A-1". The voice acting of the characters is done by all the same actors who were present in the game, including Jun Fukuyama (Lelouch) and Mumoru Miyano (Light Yagami)
Nonsense (Zaregotozukai)
The ideological successor of the Gatari cycle, this time in a detective bias. The protagonist of this anime is lazy, but at the same time he has hidden deductive abilities that more than once help him in investigating another case in which he willy-nilly gets involved.
And everything would be fine, but every time, having practically got to the bottom of the truth in the course of a sudden incident, the protagonist understands that all his conclusions and reasoning turn out to be nothing more than a delusion (although they help in revealing), and the true identity hiding behind the atrocity turns out to be so absurd and ridiculous, that only one word comes to mind - nonsense.
Animated series from Shaft studio
Code Geass
Of course, it was impossible not to mention the great and terrible Code Geass, where he is very smart and strong (of course, not in physical terms), who has to hide his hidden abilities from all characters (well, almost all).
The plot begins in parallel reality, or to be more precise, a completely different universe, where great Britain rules the world, and Japan has become nothing more than a colony in the hands of a huge monopolist and invader.
The protagonist named Lelouch, the former heir to the throne, who lost all his power not without the help of enemies, plays the role of an exemplary student in public, but in his heart he harbors plans to overthrow the usurpers. But his plan for the implementation of revenge was destined to come true much faster, because due to an accident, Lelouch becomes the owner of a magical gift - Geass.
