Your say: Why do people think anime is only for children?

Anime is a style of animation from Japan. The anime is a means of great expansion in Japan, while being a product of commercial and cultural entertainment, which has caused a cultural phenomenon in masses and a form of technological art. The themes and genres ranging anime can be love, adventure, science fiction, literature, sports, horror, fantasy, eroticism among others.

The problem is that many people because of ignorance associate anime with children cartoon but in fact it's the opposite (it is true that genres like Shonen which is equivalent to the action genre, and they are aimed at a younger audience and plots aren't that complex). But genres like Seinen relate their frames with violence, politics and sex (with complex plots).

In conclusion animes are stereotyped but once you get into the subject you will meet an excellent medium for storytelling.
