Anime

Anime is Japanese for "Animation", or cartoons. In some places, the term anime refers to Japanese Animation or Animation similar in style to Japanese Animation. But in Japan, anime is the word they use for any animation. This article is about Japanese animation.

Some anime is drawn by hand, but anime can also be made with computers. There are many types of anime; you can find anime about sports, magic, or romance. These are just some examples. Anime are shown on television, on DVD and VHS, and are used in video games. Also, some anime cartoons are just movies, but they have cartoon characters and animation instead of real people and places. Anime is often based on Japanese comics that are called manga and graphic novels. Sometimes live action movies and television series are based on an anime. Namely it is not for children...

Manga

A manga is a Japanese comic book.

Manga is drawn by a mangaka (Japanese for cartoonist: an artist of comics). Manga is usually read from right to left.

Bleach

I will give some information from Bleach That one of popular anime, I don't want to give spoilers so it was so short :)

Ichigo Kurosaki (Orange hair Cool Guy) is a teenager who has always been able to see spirits. The story begins with the sudden appearance of an oddly-dressed stranger in Ichigo's bedroom. This stranger is the shinigami Rukia Kuchiki, who is surprised that he can see her. While they are talking a Hollow comes. After Rukia is badly wounded while fighting to protect Ichigo, she decides to transfer half of her powers to Ichigo, hoping to give him a chance to fight the hollow. By accident Ichigo absorbs all of Rukia's powers instead, and he defeats the Hollow easily.

Naruto

I Think Naruto have a lot of filler episodes and it make it boring and I prefer Bleach to Naruto.
I won't give spoiler :)

Twelve years before the start of the series, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox attacked Konohagakure destroying much of the village and taking many lives. The leader of the village, the Fourth Hokage sacrificed his life to seal the Nine-Tails into a newborn, Naruto Uzumaki. Orphaned by the attack, Naruto was shunned by the villagers, who out of fear and anger, viewed him as the Nine-Tails itself. Though the Third Hokage outlawed speaking about anything related to the Nine-Tails, the children (taking their cues from their parents ) inherited the same animosity towards Naruto. In his thirst to be acknowledged, Naruto vowed he would one day become the greatest Hokage the village had ever seen.

For these reasons, Tsuna is the only remaining heir. As such, Timoteo a.k.a. "Vongola IX", the current head of the family, sends Reborn, an infant hitman from Italy, to train Tsuna

Fullmetal Alchemist

The anime is so logical to his story. It think it must watch. now i will give spoiler.

The plot focuses on a world where alchemy is a main form of science. It tells the story of Edward and Alphonse Elric, two young alchemists, who try to bring their mother back from the dead. However, it fails miserably, and the two brothers are badly hurt. The younger brother, Alphonse Elric, loses his entire body except for his soul. The older brother, Edward Elric, gives up his arm and leg during the alchemy in order to bind Alphonse's soul to a suit of armour. Luckily, a good friend of theirs, Winry, along with her grandmother Pinako, are able to build Edward two metal limbs to help him along the way. The brothers burn down their home, with the memories inside it, and begin searching for a way to get their bodies back again. They look for the Philosopher's Stone, as that is the only thing that can defy the law of Equivalent Exchange. The boys have many adventures on the way, often coming close to death.

Fullmetal Alchemist has become one of the most critically acclaimed franchises in Japanese manga and anime.
