Next to Themes - setting the backdrop for the protagonists in anime - there are the more detailed plot '''Elements''' that centre on character interactions: "What do characters do to each other or what is done to them?". Is it violent Action, an awe-inspiring Adventure in a foreign place, the gripping life of a Detective, a slapstick Comedy, an Ecchi Harem anime, a SciFi epic, or some Fantasy travelling adventure? | Next to Themes - setting the backdrop for the protagonists in anime - there are the more detailed plot '''Elements''' that centre on character interactions: "What do characters do to each other or what is done to them?".

'''Adventures''' are exciting stories, with new experiences or exotic locales. Adventures are designed to provide an action-filled, energetic experience for the viewer. Rather than the predominant emphasis on violence and fighting that is found in pure action anime, however, the viewer of adventures can live vicariously through the travels, conquests, explorations, creation of empires, struggles and situations that confront the main characters, actual historical figures or protagonists. | '''Adventures''' are exciting stories, with new experiences or exotic locales.

'''Anthropomorphism''' is the attribution of uniquely human characteristics to non-human beings, inanimate objects, or natural or supernatural phenomena. If it's an animal or an object (AI excluded) and it speaks and/or does other human-like things (dresses up) then we're dealing with anthropomorphism. | '''Anthropomorphism''' is the attribution of uniquely human characteristics to non-human beings, inanimate objects, or natural or supernatural phenomena.
