Stories are stories… The way they are told does not matter.

(Please note. This post also gives a tip to all the writers or novelists out there. Please read this to the end.)

I have recently been very much interested in animated cartoons (often called “animes”). I don’t know why, but once you are into this field, you may find it hard to leave it! You will keep craving for more!
And once you do that, you are referred to as an “Otaku”, which literally means someone who is obsessed with computers, but actually means someone who is obsessed with animes.

I might be an otaku, since these days I find it hard to not watch an anime in a day. And in the past few months I have already scrolled through a few animes, watching all of them one by one! Not to forget, I also caught up to the animes with a long story, like Naruto, One Piece, etc.

After watching a couple of animations, I came to a conclusion…

Anime’s are an animated form of a book that is called a “Manga”, which is a comic form of a novel. So in other words, an anime is also a book! Only difference is that a manga can be quite long and can be extended as much as the writer wants. For example, the Manga called “Berserk” was started in 1989 and ended in 2011! 20 years! The long animes become boring sometimes as well, since the maker tries to add self-made episodes called “fillers” which usually aren’t required.
But there are short animes too! The shorter animes have a straight-forward plot and usually do not have any fillers. For example, Mirai Nikki (“Future Diary” in English), Ki-Ba (which means “A sacred place” in English), etc. All of these have a straight-forward feel to them. They do not try to “stretch” the story. And such animes are usually the most famous of all, and also the favorites.

I also came up with another conclusion…

Since these “Manga’s” are close to books, they have many similar things in the story or plot, just like a book. Usually, the starting of a “Manga” or “Anime” isn’t as good as one might expect. And when asked from other people, they said that “It grows with time”. This was the usual answer for long-term based anime’s or manga’s.
The long-term based anime’s usually have a decent start (which can’t be called a good start) but have a nice ending (if they do). On the other hand, a short-term based anime has a nice starting, but a disappointing end (which might feel as if it is incomplete).

If apply the same law to a book, the way we write a book might change! Think about it:
“Why do short anime’s have a nice start but disappointing end?” and
“Why do long anime’s have a disappointing start but a nice end?”

Once we can find the answer to this, we can correct those faults and merge them both to remove them both. And then, we can utilize this answer in our books or novels that we write. By doing this, our books/novels will be much more interesting to the readers. They won’t feel disappointed after reading it.

It was just a tip, by the way. And you can comment below to let us know of your opinions (and answers to those questions). Your comments are well appreciated.
