Well, 'Dragon Ball' is a very famous Japanese animated story. It starts with Goku as a young boy with a monkey - like tail, and as the story progresses, he becomes stronger through various battles and training, eventually becoming one of the most powerful beings in the universe. 'Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood' is also a great one. It revolves around two brothers, Edward and Alphonse Elric, who try to reverse the consequences of a failed alchemical experiment. The story delves deep into themes like sacrifice, redemption, and the cost of power.
One characteristic is the use of symbolism. For instance, cherry blossoms might symbolize the transience of life and death, which is often related to the ghost stories. The pacing can be slow and deliberate to build up suspense. And the characters in these stories may have complex relationships with the ghosts, either trying to exorcise them, understand them, or being haunted by them. There is also a lot of use of Japanese cultural elements such as Shinto or Buddhist beliefs in the stories.
According to what I know about web novels, the longest series of anime is Naruto. This anime was started in 2007 and is still being published. It updated one episode a week and had already updated more than 1500 episodes. As a result, Naruto had been in series for more than 10 years and had become a very popular anime.
Sure. 'Pokémon' is a great Japanese animated story for kids. It's about a young trainer named Ash Ketchum who travels the world to catch different Pokémon and compete in Pokémon battles. 'Doraemon' is also very suitable. The blue robotic cat from the future, Doraemon, uses his amazing gadgets to help his friend Nobita solve various problems in daily life. And 'Hello Kitty' has some cute animated stories mainly centered around the adorable white cat and her friends.
The idea of a haunted location is very common. Whether it's a school, like in 'Corpse Party', or a village, as in 'Higurashi When They Cry'. These places hold secrets and are often the source of the horror. The animation can really bring these spooky locations to life, making the viewers feel as if they are also trapped in these terrifying places. It gives a sense of dread and unease that is characteristic of Japanese horror.
One characteristic is the unique art style. The hand - drawn animations from the vintage era in Japan often have a distinct look, with detailed characters and beautiful backgrounds. For example, in 'Akira', the cityscapes are highly detailed and give a sense of a dystopian future.

'Higurashi When They Cry' is another great one. It starts off seeming like a normal rural - life anime but quickly turns into a horror fest. The story has elements of psychological horror, with characters going through disturbing events and the mystery behind the strange happenings in the village slowly being revealed. It's full of unexpected twists and turns.
