Anime is a powerful medium for storytelling. It has the ability to captivate and transport us into worlds that are so different from our own. But
What makes anime such an immersive experience?
The answer might lie in how the protagonist’s story arc is resolved, or where their character arcs take them. In this blog post we will discuss three popular anime series: Attack on Titan, Death Note, and Code Geass; and analyze how each villain wins against the heroines of their respective show.
1) “Attack on Titan” features Eren Jaeger as its protagonist who joins up with his fellow trainees to fight back against a mysterious race of humanoid giants called Titans that have invaded Earth.
As time goes by, Eren learns that the only way to truly defeat these creatures is by wielding his newly discovered power of turning into a Titan himself. In “Death Note,” Light Yagami finds a notebook on the ground which allows him to kill anyone he desires as long as they are within 40 feet of where he writes their name in its pages.
It doesn’t take long for this high school student who’s trying to change the world with justice to become an evil genius bent on ruling it instead, and along the way he takes out everyone from criminals one-by-one all while claiming responsibility under anonymity for his actions via messages written in pieces of paper left behind at crime scenes.Â
