OKAY I just found this community for the Community Incubation Program, so I think it's working?...
I'm so excited to participate in OCD Community Boost Contest #3: Highlighting The Anime Realm but look, I'm not that old, I can´t talk about anime from 90s, I saw them but I don´t remember them.
My mom's favorites where Candy Candy, too sugared for me, actually I know the song in Spanish and Japanese, it's a classic for girls... and you know the other one my mom liked a lot and in fact she ran fast after school to get to watch it? Mazinger Z. My mom was in everything haha.
My favorites as a kid were Dragon Ball and Pokemon, Captain Tsubasa, Astroboy, but I tell ya, I can´t remember very well, the first I watched that right now I can actually remember is Naruto, but all this animes I said are actually very well known, so, I'm just gonna show you the weirdest animes, less known (at least as I know, they are not very mentioned) and old for me, they are from the beginning of 2000's, I just wanna hang out so please, if you know this animes, comment :D I feel alone trying to talk about them to my friends.
The next ones will have in common this:
Magic
Issues with time
Depressed characters
Battles
They are too young for all that ...
Very complex plot, not everyone likes them
Even us the ones who like them are a bit confused, specially with FLCL.
Our parents thought we were watching "just cartoons" and nope.

I found one of my favorites is in fact in the right time, so lets go a little trought this one movie:
Princess Mononoke
Princess Mononoke from Toho
From wikipedia: is a 1997 Japanese epic fantasy film written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki, animated by Studio Ghibli for Tokuma Shoten, Nippon Television Network and Dentsu, and distributed by Toho. The film stars the voices of Yōji Matsuda, Yuriko Ishida, Yūko Tanaka, Kaoru Kobayashi, Masahiko Nishimura, Tsunehiko Kamijo, Akihiro Miwa, Mitsuko Mori and Hisaya Morishige.
This one is one of the gems of Studio Ghibli, a producer that has very deep animes, specially movies, with a very unique point of view, in my opinion, very centered in the humans, the nature, and the human nature, even when there is a lot of magic involved, it's still about the human beings and their relation ship with the environment and others.

In this film, they show how disrespectful have been the humanity when it comes to power, we don't care if we need natural resources to live, we don´t care that next generations need it to, humans tend to think that one life matters more than the entire planet, I'm talking about the humans with the power, and the life I'm talking about, it's their own.
The enemies in the movie are in fact, the humans, and the monster are kind spirits, spirits of nature, corrupted by humans actions, it can be because they were already harm or they are trying to protect their land.

You can find a interesting summary in This link I can't explain it to you better than sending you to see the movie, because it's a very complex one, not for nothing it's called the darkest of Studio Ghibli ans got in trouble because people said it wasn't for kids. They were right? It has explicit violence but I think kids can handle it, also they can learn to respect nature, by hook or my crook.
So that's it, it feels good to talk a little about anime, but it has been a while for me, now I want to re watch all the ones I mentioned here.
Hope you liked it, until the next time
