Debate of Anime

by Nia V.

Something that has been debated for a very long time is whether anime is good or not. Some people think that anime is stupid or for nerds. But on the other hand, some think anime is amazing. Everyone has their own opinions, and that's fine. But the real question is: what are the opinions on anime in this school? To answer that question, I interviewed some kids in the 6th grade.

Some responses from my interview were:

“Anime is very good! I like it a lot”- Ethan.

“They are good, but I haven't watched many. And they aren't really my style of show.” - Annaleah.

“Honestly, it's really good, ‘cause I like the art style.”- Spencer.

“I don't really watch anime. So I don't know. Good? “ - Zara.

After I asked about their opinion on anime. I asked a follow-up question: Do you prefer anime or manga more?

“I prefer anime better because I like the moving scenes.” - Ethan.

“I like anime more because I don't like to read…” -Saraj.

“I like anime and manga, but I like anime more because I'm not a big-time reader.” -Spencer.

“I prefer anime more cause i havent really read any manga.” - Destiny.

The final question I asked is if they would recommend anime to a friend/ other. “

Yes, because it is very, very good and I really like it.” - Ethan.

“Honestly, it's up to them if they want to get into it or not. But if it was up to me, I would recommend it.” - Spencer.

“Yes, I don't know why, but it's just good.” - Saraj.

That's it for my interview questions. The final verdict is that most people like anime. And only some don't. But at the end of the day, every person has their own opinion. And that's okay; we all have different opinions, and we should respect that.
