Anime
Anime considers being a picture genre, but there are also those who consider anime as cartoon genre strictly. Anime came from Japan to Europe and other countries and were greatly developed and spread in rather short period of time. At first anime pictures were pictures for children under fifteen and had rather simple plot like any other cartoon, but later it trespassed to picture genre for grown ups as plots of those pictures became more difficult and rather serious questions were risen. Anime picture are peculiar for its characters, all heroes of the picture have rather big eyes, long legs and rather bright hair. All anime pictures are created in rather bright and tender colours, normally pink, blue and beige.
Typical anime picture has a peculiar sound accompaniment that consists of two main songs. Those songs are of great importance for realising the whole idea of anime picture. One song usually accompanies the beginning of the picture, the aim of that song is creating necessary mood of viewer, to set him on right mode so he was able not to miss the whole core of the picture. The second song is like the summery for the picture - it shortly tells about events of just watched film and brings out conclusions. Typically it's a song in major tonality, to leave viewer with an impression of bright spirit. Just like the prologue-song shortly describes events of just-seen picture the epilogue-song describes the events of previous picture in case if it's multi-serial movie. The aim of the first song is to recollect in viewer's memory the events of previous episode in order to provide understanding of the present one in case if their plots and ideas are connected to one another.
