One excerpt from the famous anime series titled "Naruto". Anime manga first published in Japan by Shueisha in 1999 in the 43rd edition of Shonen Jump magazine. In Indonesia, the manga is published by Elex Media Komputindo.
Anime is Japanese animation which is the result of a typical animated images created by hand or computer, which is the story lifted from the comic or manga (the Japanese term for anime).
Some sources say that the typical Japanese animation is characterized by colorful graphics, vibrant characters and themes that sometimes do not make sense. Anime is very different from the cartoon, but a lot of people who misinterpret anime as a cartoon.
In terms of storyline and graphics, anime and cartoons very much difference even though they are in one family line, for example: in anime, to the depiction of character specific (closer in size proportional to people in general, whereas for the characters in the cartoon did not like the size of the body human.
As for the story, the cartoon is more entertaining and impressed not require reasoning from the audience. Unlike the anime that has a storyline quite complicated with the addition of some flashback stories that connect the past and the future.
In the world of anime, there is the classification into some kind of fan, there are so-called Ootaku which means people who are serious hobby. In the world of anime called Manga Ota as fond.
Up to advanced level called Wapanese. In Japanese terms, Wapanese defined as those who are obsessed with Japanese culture. The influence of anime in life can cause a variety of fan groups.
This reaction certainly originated from the frequency of an anime fan in contact with the world of anime mainstream. Anime is in fact composed by Japanese culture, of course, produce a spectacle full of Japanese culture that also may be deliberately inserted by its creators to introduce their own national culture.
It can be seen from most anime that aired, sometimes there is a session in which the characters in the anime was celebrating cultural festivals of Japan are equipped with wear traditional clothes.
There is also the scene of the anime characters are playing a traditional Japanese games. the writers of the anime story of hope with the inclusion of related phenomena of Japanese culture in anime can stimulate the audience to find out and then interested in the Japanese culture itself, considering that anime fans are not only limited to the Japanese people, but also from different countries. What about us in Indonesia?
Like this diketahuibahwa in Indonesia not only children but adults adolescents including many who are crazy about Japanese-made animation.
Not only collected anime, fans then began to gather in a community which is then exchanged stories related to anime, cosplay performances, to organize events, performances of Japanese culture.
It is inevitable that a Ootaku learn to recognize some of the terms that are often spoken in Japanese only by consuming anime. They know the cultures of Japan through anime watched. This needs special attention from all of us, where youngsters will anime interest in making nominally more familiar with Japanese culture than the local culture.
The phenomenon of Japanese culture through anime hegemony this should not make us complacent and forget our identity as Indonesia, because at the moment a little bit younger children are more interested in foreign cultures and forgot to follow the study of his own culture.
Though Indonesia is also a country that is worth a million culture for us to learn. Especially seeing the phenomenon of regional languages which have become virtually extinct, because young people know better outside than the vernacular language.
Not many young people who would care to preserve the culture and language of its own country, preferring to dissolve in japanisasi and westernization.
By looking at the problems above, What should be our attitude not to be influenced by Japanese culture? Whether by choosing alternative anime remove from the screen? As was done under the pretext of reducing the spectacle KPI adverse effects on children.
Eliminating anime on television may not be the way out. The need for self-consciousness of the young people, especially lovers of anime, not to be complacent with what is presented in the anime.
Simply knowing may, as long as not to adopt apalagai to the exclusion of their own culture. I myself as a lover of anime aware that in anime a lot of positive values conveyed to us that should take the lesson, rather than having to contaminate the contents of the head with a spectacle not weighted #ifyouknowwhatimean.
Moreover, by looking at the influence of Japanese culture through anime distributed I feel we need to filter out the local culture so that people do not hegemony.
The linkage between the anime and Japanese cultural hegemony is not necessarily a reason to forbid anime, otherwise let us make anime as one spectacle educate (with parental guidance of course) with a more selective again to absorb the contents presented in anime. We may be amazed by the work and culture of Japan, but only quite limited admire course, does not need to imitate let alone to make it as a lifestyle.
