It’s ironic that animation, often seen as just for kids, can be surprisingly emotionally honest – even more so than many dramas made for adults. In Japan, animation isn’t limited to a single type of story; it uses inner thoughts and feelings as a natural part of the storytelling. Even the most fantastical anime often explores delicate themes about what it means to be human. Because it’s often underestimated, the medium feels incredibly open and creative. While people debate whether cartoons can be profound, anime is already beautifully expressing complex emotions, relationships, and unspoken truths.
