The Ultimate Anime Quiz!
So, how well do you know Anime? Take this kawaii quiz to find out!
How much do you know about anime? Do you consider yourself to be some sort of expert? Why not take this quiz and find out how much you really know!
Why not see if you know any of the following facts. Did you know that in 1945, the Japanese navy commissioned a full-length animated film called Momotaro: Umi no Shinpei – which means Momotaro, Sacred Sailors – which followed the adventures of a bear, a pheasant, a monkey and a puppy after they complete their naval training. It started a tradition of a highly recognisable, extremely popular form of animation which we know today as anime.
It’s so popular that many schools in Japan consider anime as an actual subject – imagine learning about the Beano at school! – and more paper is used to print manga (Japanese comics) than toilet roll! With many loyal followers, one anime show titled Sazae-san has broadcast over 2500 episodes.
Anime’s global popularity is such that the 2003 film Spirited Away was named as Best Animated Feature at the 75th Academy Awards – and we all know how popular Pokémon and Dragon Ball Z are!
And did you know that anime is so popular, Haikyuu!! was created to make volleyball a more popular sport in Japan – and it totally worked. This is absolutely true. Show creator Haruichi Furudate said in a 2014 interview that he wanted to get people to see that volleyball was ‘fun and cool’. He certainly achieved his goal, with high school students enrolling in volleyball clubs noticeably increasing after the show was broadcast.
And if anime couldn’t be any more amazing, did you know that The Last Airbender has links to Star Wars? Fire Lord Ozai is one of the most powerful and evil benders in the whole series, consumed with power and rage. Many don't realise he is played by none other than esteemed actor and all round top fella Mark Hamill - Luke Skywalker himself!
So are you ready to see how much you really know about the amazing world of anime? Only a true anime expert will get 12 points! Good luck!
