Common Anime Myths — Busted
With so many long-running series and beloved films, a few details tend to get mixed up. Here's what's actually true:
- Myth: All anime is made by the same studio. Dozens of studios — Studio Ghibli, Madhouse, Kyoto Animation, MAPPA and more — each have distinct art styles and specialties.
- Myth: Anime is only for kids. Many series, including Attack on Titan and Death Note, are written for teen and adult audiences with mature themes.
- Myth: One Piece's treasure has been fully revealed in the story. As of the story's ongoing run, the true nature of the One Piece treasure remains a central mystery.
- Myth: Quirks and Nen and Jutsu are all the same power system. Each franchise — My Hero Academia, Hunter x Hunter, and Naruto respectively — has its own distinct rules for its characters' abilities.
- Myth: Studio Ghibli only makes fantasy films for children. Films like Grave of the Fireflies tackle war and loss with a gravity aimed squarely at adult audiences.
