Anime

            
             They mostly involve political issues, human emotions, and fantasy. The genre has accomplished this through creative storytelling and audience relations to the character. Also, it has pulled in issues and ideas that would not be allowed to air in the United States and therefore has not been seen by many, but for the few series that have made it over they have begun to show Americans that cartoons are not just for kids. .
             Political issues are one of the main ideas of Anime. The genre has utilized this to relay the message of political issues more easily to a larger audience of viewers. This is what makes Anime different from American cartoons where there is no real strong message being sent. American animation mostly comprise of comedic family oriented ideas that appeal to children. An issue such as excessive police force was used in one of Animes more popular movies. The movie The Tank Police is a perfect example of this. The people in the movie live in an apocalyptic future where the world has gone dark and criminals are run the streets. When the world turned bad the police were overwhelmed and beaten back to their bases. In order to return order to the streets the Governor gave the police their request for more firepower. The police in return got powerful battle tanks and massive sorts of armaments. Once order has been returned the police did not stop using their tanks, but used them continuously to subdue any sort of criminal with unnecessary amounts of force. Unnecessary destruction of property takes place due to the excessive force being wielded by the police. Issues such as this are apparent in today's society where the police believe they are above the law and can get away with anything. Another political issue that is present in the genre is the controversy over cloning and what dire effects may come of it. The series Saber Marionette J addresses this issue. A seeding pod was launched headed towards a new planet called Terra II.
