The Biggest Difference Between Eastern and Western Animation

Are you a massive fan of animation, like me? Whether it’s Anime, or Western animation, I love this medium. But one day, I got to thinking... What is the biggest difference between the two (East vs. West)? After some careful consideration, I believe I have finally discerned the difference. Aside from stylistically, the biggest difference is how they convey emotion. Western animation tends to use character as the driving emotional force, while Anime uses the circumstances that the characters find themselves in as the main emotional generator. I explain what I mean in the video, and I examine two scenes to help illustrate my point. One scene is from “A Silent Voice“, and the other is from, “The Hunchback of Notre Dame“. I hope you enjoyed this type of content. I am going to start doing more of these video essay type videos about storytelling, so I hope you look forward to them! ✦SUPPORT DREW MALOU✦ Patreon ► My Shop &#
