Samurai Champloo I think is one of the best anime's I have watched so far, its highly influenced by Hiphop culture both in music and style the characters are always funny and the story plot is interesting and jam packed full of excitement. I like the style of the animation and the way it uses historical facts to tell a story, it almost feels like the writer has time travelled into the past.
Samurai Jack was and exciting animated cartoon I used to watch growing up as a child I liked the designing of the characters and the way they were presented. The fight scenes were always epic and intense, I was inspired by the drawing style and used to practice sketching Samurai jack based on my love of the cartoon.
Boondocks is one of my all time favourites mainly for its black representation. Boondocks highlights political issues and draws a relation to modern day society which makes the animation funny based on your understanding of the joke and the relation of it to me a a black person in modern day society. The characters are nicely developed by an artist I love called lesean Thomas.
My favourite animation technique to use is traditional mainly for it being a highly used technique through time and I regard this as easier of creating animation but very challenging in developing seconds and time because it takes longer but I personally think that more motion and feeling is achieved through drawing characters and it runs realistically.
Dragonball Z is a child hood cartoon which I loved to watch mainly for its difference to other animes in style, it possessed a style I had never seen before and I liked the appearance of character their muscles are defined. The whole concept of the supersaiyan powers I thought was very interesting and new in approach, the whole monkey transformation was very weird and funny at times, the animation was always smooth.
Rave master was another childhood cartoon I enjoyed it was mainly about boy discovering a magical, mystical and historical sword and embarking on a journey to use the sword it self to restore piece. The sword used to transform, it was interesting because when the sword changed form it changed its powered element e.g. fire to water. the way the characters were developed like any anime character but they were presented more as soft anime characters for children rather than adults or teens. This was done through the enlargement of eyes and body proportion of the characters were enlarged which could be seen as a funny example of the animation.
Tekken is a very well made game with nicely designed characters, the game keeps getting more realistic, they almost remind me of real people, the detail is amazing and the fighting styles are very close to real martial art moves. I think the creator has focused greatly on the characters names, appearances and characteristics.
