#BLEACH ANIME MANGA CENSORSHIP SERIES#

Bleach has lots of blood and fighting, but it is animated in a way that isnвЂ™t very gore-y. Long running battle anime shows like Bleach and Attack on Titan deal with blood and gore a little differently. Lots of action or вЂњbattle animeвЂќ can be graphically violent depending on the rating of the show.

It is you decision as a parent if you feel the show is depicting loss in a way that helps your child understand loss and grieving, or not. That is not the case with Japanese anime. In western culture we love to see the good guy win and most of our animated shows follow that format. Depending on the show these themes can be violent and graphic or very emotional. Cultural Differences Death and LossДeath and loss are common themes in anime. Examples of these ladies are Faye Valentine (Cowboy Bebop), Erza Scarlett (Fairytail), Yoruichi (Bleach), Asuna (Sword Art Online). I do love that in many shounen anime the female characters are at least as strong if not stronger than the male characters. While the shounen girl is more sexy in appearance you will get a personalty range from helpless вЂњdamselвЂќ to an intimidating вЂњfemme fataleвЂќ character. We will see a range of female personalities in this genre.

Lucy from popular series Fairytail is a classic example of a shounen girl. Once again this is meant to appeal to the target audience of these shows, teenage boys. Most girls have unnaturally large chests and very curvy figures. Shounen girls are not proportionally correct either. If you know anything about anime you know what IвЂ™m talking aboutвЂ¦them boobs. Shounen girls can be spotted from a mile away. The faces of the Shounen boys and girls usually donвЂ™t have a ton of detail either. Tragic main character back stories are common and have you rooting for their victory throughout the series. These boys often have a heart of gold and will protect their friends at any cost. Characters like Natsu in Fairytail, Ichigo in Bleach, and Goku from Dragonball Z all have exaggerated muscular physiques. Shounen boys have all the musclesвЂ¦not joking.ДЄbs and biceps are no strangers to the mangaka artists of most popular shounen anime shows over the years. Just like the action and movement in the artwork of the shounen genre, we will also find exaggeration in the male and female characters. Artwork from the Bleach Manga Shounen Representation of Gender A great example of this is shown below in the art of manga artist Tite Kubo and his series- Bleach. The mangaka (artist) will use bold lines to create an extreme emotion. Plot and action are a big focus in a shounen anime.

The art style and animation in a shounen series is sharper with more exaggeration and movement. Shonen Anime Series ( Dragon Ball Z, Naruto, Attack on Titan) Shounen Art Style In this anime you will usually see a story focused on a male protagonist that sets off on an adventure to save or protect something while making friends throughout the story. I personally love this genre and have watched and read just as much shounen as Shoujo. The shounen genre focuses on themes that are often appealing to boys (action, adventure). Once again, that doesnвЂ™t mean that it is only for boys. Shounen manga (comic) and anime is geared toward boys. This is done to evoke and convey emotions of the romantic story lines. The focus of the boys is similar to the Shoujo female, which is all about their face. Shoujo boys are tall with broad shoulders, handsome, and have more delicate features- which makes them quite dreamy. These boys are swoon worthy and drawn beautifully. This same model applies to boys that are illustrated in the Shoujo style. Fashion plays a large part in the art as well. They usually have a slender frame and donвЂ™t usually have curves or large chests. Girls in Shoujo manga and anime are most often illustrated as petite with very pretty hair and the signature large eyes.
