What is art? That might sound like a pretentious title, but I think this is important because this is how we can judge the 'art' value of anime. I will say this first, art is creation with purpose, and in ways, every anime can have art elements in them (which I will talk about as well), but not all anime is art. Since art is a subjective term, your definition of art will be different from mine, thus you definition of 'art' anime will be different from mine.
I believe that art (especially in anime) is defined by a medium generally used for entertainment, being used for something more, weather that would by psychological values, emotional, or even spiritual. That does not mean that art is not entertaining, it just means that I will be getting more out of it than just entertainment. Usually anime with compelling plot and interesting and diverse characters end up being classified as art. Art will be found in all anime, because like what I said before, art is creation with purpose.
I hope that this will help start the series of things I will be posting, which I will try to post a lot. This will not just talk about the beauty of anime, (which, anime is vary beautiful), but I will try to talk about psychological aspects in certain anime, art direction, etc. etc. I hope this explained what I think what art is in anime, I hope this helped a lot for people going to read other posts, and as always
Keep on watching.
