Like any other art form, anime could not do without depicting death. Depending on the genre, target audience and plot, the depiction of death can be completely different and serve different purposes. In addition to the death of extras, designed to show that everything is for an adult - “Don't relax, the war is on”, as well as the almost guaranteed death of the antihero in the finale, there are a number of anime-specific techniques for displaying the death of characters and plot decisions related to this.
Motivation
Very often, the death of a wife, girlfriend, parents or friends is the main motivating factor for the protagonist, provoking him to take certain actions, first of all, to take revenge on the antagonist responsible for these events. Sometimes the main motivation of the hero is, on the contrary, the desire to kill this or that character, the reasons are very different, but most often it is revenge and saving the world, as always.
Horrors of war
Alternatively, the main characters can find the decomposing bodies of civilians, while brightly positive characters, seeing, for example, the rotting corpses of a mother with a baby, like to break out into a lengthy speech about the horrors of war.
Apocalypse
In an apocalyptic anime, almost all the heroes of the story usually die before the end, a handful of the main characters get to the end, or even only main character in proud loneliness.
Serious illness
A very popular dramatic move, when, having defeated all enemies, the hero dies of an incurable disease or an old wound. IN romantic drama the often fatal illness of the protagonist comes to the fore love story and, along with car accidents, are the main way the hero dies in anime with elements of everyday life.
The moor has done his job, the moor can go
Sometimes characters in a story are killed because they fully realized themselves in the plot, completed their task. Then, in order not to drag the whole crowd to the final, the characters are removed. Depending on the atmosphere and genre, another bloody scene may await us, or the hero may simply meet, for example, small town where he wants to stay and disappear forever from the lives of the main characters.
Death is just the beginning
Sometimes death is just a gate that opens the hero completely new world or new features, in which case this event usually occurs in one of the initial series. Not always it is death, maybe a rebirth in a new quality or a new body.
Anime examples: Gantz, Red Garden,
Death is the price of victory
Sometimes the main character or a group of main characters consciously sacrifice themselves for the sake of saving something big and sublime: the world, the motherland, and so on. If you remember how revered the suicide pilots were in the second world war in Japan, it is not surprising that this plot element often slips in anime. Often a hero, before going to last Stand, likes to make pathetic speeches, or already in battle (if the anime features spaceship or fighting robot) likes to make the same speeches on the radio. Especially often, such a fate awaits the friend of the protagonist in the final arc of the film, which, with the words “I will delay them”, remains to cover the retreat or, conversely, the breakthrough.
fake death
In series aimed at a younger audience, the characters are often placed in a deadly dangerous situation, or inflict seemingly mortal wounds on them, but, ultimately, everything turns around miraculous salvation or healing.
Death with resurrection
Sometimes the concept of a fake death is taken to the point of absurdity, first by permanently killing the hero, and then resurrecting him with the help of some ritual, spell or technology. For any plot, the reversibility of death, especially if such a move is used repeatedly, is a very harmful factor, since it devalues the drama of the story. What is the point of worrying about the hero if he is resurrected anyway.
Suddenly
Sometimes heroes are killed suddenly, by different reasons, but most often in defiance of the above plot moves to create an unexpected dramatic moment. At the same time bringing the plot closer to the classic cinema. Sometimes this sudden death characterizes the change of genre from comedy to dramatic or even tragic.
How characters die
Red shirts (Redshirt) - this term came from Star Trek, where, to emphasize the drama of what is happening, but not to touch the main cast, introduced new characters only to have them die in the same or the next series. Something similar is also found in anime, often characters doomed to an early death can be recognized in advance.
Doomed love...
If next to the main character there is a fragile girl who is deeply in love with him, to whom he does not promise attention at all, she has every chance of dying in the arms of her lover, or closing him from an enemy bullet, blade, rocket. Or blow up your combat robot, protecting it. A dying tearful declaration of love, and the protagonist screaming "Nooo!!!" with the knowledge of what wonderful person he lost forever, attached.
Will - bad sign
It’s a very bad sign if the hero himself says that he will most likely die soon and settles his affairs, for example, draws up a will or looks at a photo of dead comrades with words like “See you soon, guys.” Only the main character can survive after such preparations, and even then not always.
Karma is a bad bitch
If you are an anime character and live in a very aggressive environment, and risk your life every day, remember - if suddenly you have a reason worth living for: a girl, a child, best friend and so on - remember, this is also very unhealthy.
The very process of death
IN real life a person dies of wounds very quickly, having received a bullet in the heart, at best, you can have time to say a couple of strong words in the end. But in the anime, everything is not the same as in real life, and even if the enemies made a hole in the hero’s chest the size of a pineapple (which, by the way, does not guarantee his death), he will fight for another five minutes, and then make long farewell speeches to sobbing from grief to friends, it is hacking to cough and vomit blood. In general, death in anime is presented much more aesthetically than in reality, and without much detail. And teach main feature deaths are eyes, if they are empty (without a glare) and the character does not move, then he is most likely dead, sometimes, for greater realism, they draw a protruding tongue, but this is less common.
Of course, all these stamps can be successfully combined and matched, so that a terminally ill female combat robot pilot who blows up her combat vehicle to save the main character, with whom she is touchingly in love, is not such an incredible thing. This review does not pretend to be "comprehensive", because every director tries to move away from especially obvious clichés and come up with something of his own, original.
A manga where gg is unrealistically strong from the very beginning and at the same time does not become weaker throughout the story.
An ordinary guy named Saitama gets upset in life after he cannot find a place in the society of Japanese society among the white collars. One fine day, seeing a monster and defeating him, he decides to take the path of a real hero.
From the very beginning of the book, Saitama has a truly crushing power, able to defeat the villain with one blow. The whole relish of the story is that the protagonist, being a real imba without emotions, does not pretend to be weak (he frankly does not care about anything, including public opinion).
A loner in life, not boasting of his power, he, however, attracts the attention of the cyborg Genos, who eventually becomes his student. When, like other characters, they try to overcome themselves, overcome an opponent, curb their weaknesses, he does not need this at all.
One of the best Japanese comics in the shounen genre, with great art by the mangaka Murate-sensei, the author of "Aishild 21")
The Breaker
A manga where the protagonist is a guy named Lee Soo-in, an ordinary Korean schoolboy who has a pretty girlfriend, but who is constantly bullied by bullies. One day, in educational institution a new cool teacher appears who wipes the nose of the gopniks.
Partly, because of his desire, partly, because of the prevailing circumstances, he becomes stronger and enters into real world martial arts (actually fictional and unrealistic), where he has to choose his own path.
Of the advantages of the manga, one can single out excellent art, decent action and a rather interesting plot. And all this against the backdrop of a typical rag-kun (not only at the beginning of the story), extremely inadequate characters (hooligans are more like murderers, sadists and scoundrels, but not typical students) and the lack of an ending.
However, despite all the shortcomings, it is highly recommended reading.
The Rising of the Shield Hero
Manga, where he ends up in another world along with the rest of his peers, receiving the status of a summoned hero by default, obliging him to fight against the forces of evil.
However, instead of taking possession of a real weapon, the protagonist named Naofumi becomes a shield hero, who, as it turns out, is not particularly favored in the local kingdom.
And now, on the third day, robbed, accused of false rape by the princess herself, and abandoned to the mercy of fate by the king and his subjects, the main character becomes an evil loner who was betrayed by almost all the people he knows in this world.
Filled with anger, he finds his own path of revenge and a way to fight the demons at the same time. Fortunately, the newly minted ward turns out to be none other than a slave, who over time imbues Naofumi with sympathy, at the same time becoming not only a useful tool for him, but also a reliable comrade in battle.
Shield Hero is essentially a manga, where he appears as such, a lone villain, forced at first to hide his personality and use all means to win. However, after several volumes, his status changes and the harem expands. Although, the company, consisting exclusively of the fair sex, has a purely technical function, that is, grind, grind and again grind.
The most surprising thing is that the work does not need an RPG component at all, which the author deliberately inserted into his fantasy world for some reason. In any case, the comic is of interest only in the initial chapters, gradually merging into another dull-endless shounen about a hitman with an emphasis on unnecessary pumping.
Id - The Greatest Fusion Fantasy
Manga about gg, who ended up in a parallel world, not much different from his own. An example of an excellent work, when you can do without such boring schoolchildren, hitmen, RPG elements, a grandee and the like, which is now fashionable to shove into works. A bias towards standard fantasy with elves, dwarves and dragons with good old magic (without any pop-up windows of statistics) will warm the soul of any sophisticated gourmet.
The only negative can be noted only the fact that the main character is incredibly strong (almost a genius). But interesting plot moves and a finished story bring all the small flaws in the work of the manuscript to naught.
Tales of Demons and Gods
Manga, where gg is reborn after death, moving into his own body of thirteen years old, when he was still a child, and the grass was greener. An excellent example of a saying: “We started for health, and ended for peace.”
Nie Li (that's the name central character) is essentially a real imba. But if in One Punch Man it is the main feature and generator of humor, in Ida it is more of a narrative element that does not destroy the story, then in Tales it is a tool for solving any problems.M
anhua (because the original source came from the pen of a Chinese) is replete with a huge number of cliches inherent in it. Nie Li always wins, never prevails, is always right (even if not) and is the adoration of all the local ladies. A separate topic worth mentioning is the attitude of the hero to anyone who disagrees with him. Can be overlooked when typically cardboard villains (because villains) are in Once again left with a nose and broken bones. But when the same thing happens to the father of his beloved, it says a lot about the "features" of this work, and the "adequacy" of the mangaka.
Yes, I'm a spider, so what (I'm A Spider, So What?)
Manga where main character a girl who dies and then is reborn in another world along with her classmates. As in most Japanese comics, instead of becoming an ordinary person, the character reincarnates into another creature (vampire, undead, slime, orc, dragon, and so on). In this case, a spider.
War Chronicles of Wortenia (Record of Wortenia War)
Once upon a time there was an ordinary student Mikoshiba Ryoma. And everything was fine until they mobilized him to another world, which is on the brink of war. The recruit did not like this, and he decided to run away, and at the same time kill a dozen people with the help of martial arts. But alone, he did not have to wander for a long time, as he meets twin slave sisters. Yes, not simple, but those that have magic.
How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom Chronicles
One day, an ordinary Japanese guy Soma is summoned to another world by the king of a certain country, Elfriden, in order for him to settle complicated relationship with the local empire. Gg turns out to be brainy (or everyone else is stupid), and as a bonus he gets the magical ability to move.
Seeing remarkable talents in the boy, the Monarch publicly refuses the crown and passes it on to his new successor, giving him his own daughter, half the kingdom and all power in addition.

Yato is a wanderer japanese god in the form of a thin blue-eyed youth in tracksuit. In Shintoism, the power of a deity is determined by the number of believers, and our hero has neither a temple nor priests, all donations fit in a sake bottle. The guy in the neckerchief moonlights as a jack of all trades, painting ads on the walls, but things are going very badly.

The continent that lies in the center of the Ignol Ocean is the large central one and four more - Southern, Northern, Eastern and Western, and the gods themselves look after him, and he is called Ente Isla.
And there is a name that plunges anyone on Ente Isla into Horror - the Lord of Darkness Mao.

The hero and his comrades defeated the troops of the Lord of Darkness in the west, then Adramelech in the north and Malakoda in the South. The hero led the united army of the human race and attacked the central continent where the castle of the Lord of Darkness stood...
Yato is a wandering Japanese god in the form of a thin, blue-eyed youth in a tracksuit. In Shintoism, the power of a deity is determined by the number of believers, and our hero has neither a temple nor priests, all donations fit in a sake bottle. The guy in the neckerchief moonlights as a jack of all trades, painting ads on the walls, but things are going very badly. Even the tongue-tied Mayu, who for many years worked as a Shinki - the Sacred Weapon of Yato - left the owner. And without a weapon, the younger god is no stronger than an ordinary mortal magician, you have (what a shame!) To hide from evil spirits. And who needs such a celestial anyway?
One day, a pretty high school student, Hiyori Iki, threw herself under a truck to save some guy in black. It ended badly - the girl did not die, but gained the ability to “leave” her body and walk on the “other side”. Having met Yato there and recognized the culprit of her troubles, Hiyori convinced the homeless god to heal her, for he himself admitted that no one can live between worlds for a long time. But, having got to know each other better, Iki realized that the current Yato did not have enough strength to solve her problem. Well, you need to take matters into your own hands and personally direct the tramp on the true path: first, find a good-for-nothing weapon, then help earn money, and then, you see, what will happen. No wonder they say: what a woman wants - God wants!

Suimei University Art High School has many dormitories, and there is a Sakura tenement house. If dormitories have strict rules, then everything is possible in Sakura, not without reason its local nickname is “madhouse”. Since in art genius and madness are always somewhere nearby, the inhabitants of the "cherry orchard" are talented and interesting guys who are too out of the "swamp". Take the noisy Misaki, who sells her own anime to major studios, her friend and playboy screenwriter Jin, or the reclusive programmer Ryunosuke, who communicates with the world only via the Web and the phone. Compared to them, the protagonist Sorata Kanda is a simpleton who ended up in a "psychiatric hospital" just for ... a love of cats!
Therefore, Chihiro-sensei, the head of the dorm, instructed Sorata, as the only sane guest, to meet her cousin Mashiro, which is being transferred to their school from far away Britain. The fragile blonde seemed to Kanda a real bright angel. True, at a party with new neighbors, the guest was constrained and spoke little, but the freshly baked fan wrote off everything as understandable stress and fatigue from the road. Only real stress awaited Sorata in the morning when he went to wake up Mashiro. The hero realized with horror that his new friend, a great artist, is absolutely not of this world, that is, she is not even capable of dressing herself! And the insidious Chihiro is right there - from now on, Kanda will forever look after her sister, because the guy has already trained on cats!

in the 21st, the world community has finally managed to systematize the art of magic and raise it to a new level. Those who are able to use magic after finishing nine classes in Japan are now expected in magic schools - but only if applicants pass the exam. The quota for admission to the First School (Hachioji, Tokyo) is 200 students, a hundred of the best are enrolled in the first department, the rest are in the reserve, in the second, and teachers are assigned only to the first hundred, "Flowers". The rest, "Weeds", learn on their own. At the same time, an atmosphere of discrimination constantly hovers in the school, because even the forms of both departments are different.
Shiba Tatsuya and Miyuki were born 11 months apart, allowing them to study for the same year. Upon entering the First School, the sister finds herself among the Flowers, and her brother among the Weeds: despite his excellent theoretical knowledge, the practical part is not easy for him.
In general, we are waiting for the study of a mediocre brother and an exemplary sister, as well as their new friends - Chiba Erika, Saijou Leonhart (you can just Leo) and Shibata Mizuki - at the school of magic, quantum physics, the Nine Schools Tournament and much more ...

The ghoul race has existed since time immemorial. Its representatives are not at all against people, they even love them - mostly in their raw form. Lovers of human flesh are outwardly indistinguishable from us, strong, fast and tenacious - but they are few, because the ghouls have developed strict rules for hunting and disguise, and violators are punished themselves or quietly handed over to fighters against evil spirits. In the age of science, people know about ghouls, but as they say, they are used to it. The authorities do not consider cannibals a threat, in fact, they see them as an ideal basis for creating super-soldiers. Experiments have been going on for a long time ...
The main character Ken Kaneki will have to search for a new path painfully, because he realized that people and ghouls are similar: they just eat each other literally, others figuratively. The truth of life is cruel, it cannot be changed, and the one who does not turn away is strong. And then somehow!

An ordinary Japanese schoolboy named Akatsuki Kojo, for some unknown reason, turned into a "purebred vampire", the fourth in number.

The article is not designed for oldfags and they may not like it. Therefore, if you are a fan of anime from the 90s or the beginning of the "zero", then it is better not to read. The anime industry is actively going downhill. Surely this process began back in the early 2000s, but then I didn’t watch anime and I can’t know for sure. But now it is especially noticeable.

This was a brief demonstration of the current direction of almost any anime. TITS, BIG TITS, A LOT OF BIG TITS!!! The genre "ecchi" is the most popular today. Why? Yes, because children eat it, and the mangaka themselves like to draw big-breasted beauties because of the genetically small breasts in Japanese women. And I said "children" because I can't name a more mature male audience that likes a bunch of ecties, even though it makes no sense at all. After all, any sane person who has watched about 100 titles or less will understand that all anime in which the ecchi genre is present automatically get about 4-5 at once. female characters with huge breasts awkward moments with groping tits, random scenes where he finds such a heroine naked, all sorts of tentacles and the like. Such anime is not remembered at all, but they are actively promoted because people no longer need high-quality pictures, give them more boobs.
But what else could be worse than a bunch of monotonous ecchi? Only harems. This genre goes hand in hand with ecchi and is no less popular. And if in ecchi there can still be at least the slightest peculiar plot, then all harems are absolutely the same. What are the rave reviews and ratings of the anime High School DxD.
In general, all anime have become terrible similar friend on a friend. There are stamps everywhere.
And here is a prime example of this. Two anime: Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry: A Tale of Worst On and Gakusen Toshi Asterisk.
Do you understand? Only the first series came out, and there are already so many similarities between these anime. And there are a lot of such coincidences among modern anime.
The sports genre does not have a large audience of spectators at all. But probably almost everyone watched such a sensational anime as Kuroko no Basuke. Yes, exciting colorful matches and a lot of action. But if you think about it, this anime is more like a fantasy, and every season it gets stronger. All this invisibility, the emperor's eye, falcon vision. Seriously? Why isn't the fantasy genre listed in this anime then? How can this be realistic?
But at the same time, anime like Yowamushi Pedal (The Cowardly Cyclist) or Hajime no Ippo (The First Step) are somehow not so popular, although they are very good.
This is a clear example of the fact that most viewers prefer a beautiful action picture than a really worthy series.
With each season, it is difficult to find at least a couple of normal anime. Because almost all titles are full of clichés and clichés. Everything is very dull, monotonous and predictable. There is no originality. This year, only the anime Charlotte (Charlotte) tried to return the spirit good plot and unexpected turns. The attempt is not the most successful and this anime is by no means a masterpiece, and you can’t even call it that close, but against the backdrop of despondency last pair years is not bad.
There are no more of those masterpieces that were. There is no spiritual heritage Diary of the future, Angelic rhythms, Rainbow.
Japanese animation legend Hayao Miyazaki has ended his career. He will no longer please us with his great work. And with it, the anime industry lost that ray of light and happiness that so warmed the soul of real anime fans.
Director Hideaki Anno, co-creator of the cult anime Evangelion and co-creator of Hayao Miyazaki's latest creation, The Wind Rises, said in an interview this fall that Japanese animation is "in decline." And he is absolutely right. All other anime is not like his Evangelion and Miyazaki films.
Although no. Makoto Shinkai continues to delight us with his films and short films, which are famous not only interesting stories, but also with its amazing drawing. Images from his film "Garden of Fine Words":
