anime telling

'Natsume's Book of Friends' also has elements of ghost stories. The main character, Natsume, can see yokai (spirits). He inherits a book from his grandmother that contains the names of yokai she had defeated. Natsume's journey of returning these names while interacting with different yokai is filled with heartwarming and sometimes spooky tales. It's a really unique anime that blends the beauty of nature, Japanese folklore, and ghostly encounters.

The sound design is crucial. Scary animes usually have eerie background music and sound effects. In 'Corpse Party: Tortured Souls', the creaking floors and screams create a terrifying atmosphere. And they usually have disturbing or mysterious plotlines. Like in 'Higurashi no Naku Koro ni', the mystery behind the strange events in the village is what makes it so scary.

It could be due to weak plotlines or inconsistent character development.

The setting also plays an important role. For example, in 'Attack on Titan', the post - apocalyptic world where humans live in fear of Titans creates a tense and exciting backdrop for the story. The mystery of the Titans and the struggle for survival make the storytelling very immersive.

One such anime is 'Another'. It's a really spooky anime that tells a story filled with mystery and horror. The setting in a school with a dark secret makes it even more terrifying.

One characteristic is that it provides context easily. For instance, in many anime like this, the narrator can quickly introduce a new setting or character. In 'Kino's Journey', this helps the viewer understand the different lands Kino enters. It also allows for a more in - depth exploration of ideas. In 'Mushishi', the narrator helps to delve deeper into the concepts of Mushi and their relationship with humans. Moreover, it can create a more personal connection. In 'Bakemonogatari', the way the story is told through a sort of narrator - like dialogue makes the viewer feel closer to the characters and their stories.

For beginners, 'My Neighbor Totoro' is a great anime about telling story. It has a simple yet charming story about two sisters who move to the countryside and encounter the friendly forest spirit, Totoro. The story is easy to follow and full of heartwarming moments. It's a great introduction to the world of anime.

One great anime about storytelling is 'Spirited Away'. It tells the story of a young girl, Chihiro, who enters a spirit world and has to find a way to save her parents and herself. The film is filled with rich characters and a complex, magical world that unfolds in a very engaging way.

The cultural aspect. Many anime with ghost stories draw on Japanese folklore. This gives a rich backdrop to the stories. In 'Natsume's Book of Friends', the yokai are based on traditional Japanese spirits. Viewers get to learn about different cultural beliefs and superstitions while enjoying the anime. Also, the art and animation in these anime can create a really spooky and immersive atmosphere. The use of lighting, sound effects, and character designs all contribute to making the ghost stories more appealing.

The anime and the novel both have their strengths in story - telling. The anime is great at creating a sense of spectacle. When Ainz performs some of his powerful magic, it looks amazing on screen. But the novel is better at the slow build - up of the story. It can gradually introduce you to new characters and concepts without feeling rushed. So, if you're someone who loves action - packed visuals, the anime might be your choice. But if you want a more immersive and detailed story, the novel would be a better pick.
