Are you interested in cinema? Are you eagerly catching film industry news and waiting for the next big blockbuster? Then you have come to the right place, because here we have selected many videos on this fascinating and truly immense topic. Cinema and cartoons should be divided into three main ones: age categories- children, teenagers and adults.

Cartoons and films for children are most often some kind of fantasy and adventure. Simple and easy-to-learn life lessons, a pretty atmosphere, or a storyboard (if it's a cartoon) contribute to the manifestation children's interest. Most of these cartoons are quite stupid, because they are made by people who do not have the slightest desire to work, but simply want to make money on your desire to distract your child for an hour or two. Such moments are essentially even dangerous for the fragile child’s brain and can harm it, and therefore we do not have such outright slag. We have collected for you both short and not so short cartoons that will not only distract your child, but also teach him to love himself, the world and the people around him. Even in children's cartoons, the plot and memorable characters and dialogues are important, because even the most Good idea will not be received from a person you do not trust. That’s why we set out to select the most outstanding cartoons. How modern animations, as well as old Soviet or American classics.

Movies and cartoons for teenagers, for the most part, have the same problem as children's cartoons. They, too, are most often made in haste by lazy directors, and it is sometimes incredibly difficult to select something good from among them. However, we tried our best and put on display several hundred magnificent works, which may be of interest not only to teenagers, but also to adults. Small, interesting short films, which sometimes even receive awards at various animation exhibitions, can be of interest to absolutely anyone.

And, of course, where would we be without adult short films? There is no outright violence or vulgar scenes, but there are a lot of non-childish themes that can make you think about them for hours. Various questions of life, interesting dialogues, and sometimes even very well-made action. There is everything an adult needs to have a good time and relax after hard days at work, stretching out in a comfortable position with a cup of hot tea.

You should also not forget about trailers for upcoming films or cartoons, because such short videos are sometimes more interesting than the work itself. A good trailer is also part of the cinematic art. Many people like to watch them, take them apart frame by frame and wonder what awaits them in the work itself. The site even has entire sections dedicated to analyzing trailers for popular films.

On our website you can easily choose a film or cartoon to suit your taste, which will reward you positive emotions from viewing and will remain in your memory for a long time.

The new hero was born about 60-50 years ago, which was greatly facilitated by the “noir” genre. The signs of a new hero are silent, cynical, usually at odds with the law and society, torn by internal conflicts, but hiding a vulnerable soul under an icy armor. This “anti-hero” became a contrast to the usual image of a “knight without fear and reproach” with open face, friendly and correct.

Over the years, the image of a gloomy cynic acquired new details in the spirit of the times, was enriched with meanings, gradually transforming into a gloomy romantic, and became so seductive that Japanese animators simply could not pass by. Of course – such scope for imagination with a minimum of effort! ^_^ Moreover, the authors got so carried away that the current hero - “terrible in character on the outside, but beautiful on the inside” - has also become a common cliche. But the presence of such a hero guarantees high interest on the part of the audience, because dark romance has always excited the female heart.

This strange young man loves only his warplane. Has difficulty obeying the orders of his commander and friend Jack Bookhar. Ignores any attempts by others to penetrate him inner world. This hero is extremely closed and independent, lives in his own world, limited by the cockpit of a combat aircraft and the sky of an alien planet. It is difficult to communicate with him, he makes an unpleasant impression on many, but circumstances develop in such a way that over time those around him begin to trust his opinion unconditionally. The guy sparkled like a shooting star, but left a very deep mark in the hearts of those who knew him, and, literally, decided the outcome of the war between humanity and alien intelligence.

The independence of this hero has its origins in his deep knowledge human nature. At the same time, the Pharmacist is calm and generous in a Buddhist way, and always secretly hopes to be mistaken with his conclusions. His dual nature is under strict control and manifests itself only when the culprit is found, actions are weighed and considered, and motives are determined. The pharmacist does not like to talk a lot, but his comments are accurate, and he sees right through people. This is the case when knowledge is power. His coolness lies in his wisdom, knowledge of the world and people. Well, in magic, of course.

Unlike most of the heroes on our list, this young man has an explosive and angry character, incontinence of emotions and bias towards others, often unfounded. With all this, Kanda is one of the best exorcists of the Order. His weakness is his comrades in the order, especially Lenalee Lee and Lavi. He carefully hides this weakness under feigned coldness. But as soon as his friends find themselves in danger, the cold-blooded Kanda simply breaks the roof and is capable of doing both stupid things and heroic deeds. He is connected with other heroes from our list by the belief that silence is golden, reluctance to show one’s weaknesses, rhinoceros stubbornness and courage.

How, you ask, how did this cynical careerist end up on the list of our heroes?! But what about the demonstrated lack of emotion, the arrogantly patronizing tone, the ostentatious cynicism and cruelty, under which are hidden deeply hidden strong and pure feelings– anger, thirst for revenge, tenderness and love? Definitely our man. Except purely external signs « cool guy", Roy Mustang is shown as a professional in his field, an excellent strategist, a man who is able to keep his feelings in check for the sake of highest goal, but ready to let go of emotions when necessary.

They say about these people: “A follower of the law!” This hero is the twenty-eighth head of the Kuchiki clan, one of the great noble houses of Soul Society. He is also the captain of the sixth division of the Gotei 13. He is an aristocrat and wears his noble origins like armor, demanding from himself and others unconditional obedience to rules and traditions. Outwardly he is always calm, indifferent and arrogant. All this hides a deep internal conflict, because Byakuya himself broke the rules, albeit for a good purpose. But for a pedant like him, this is no excuse. Fortunately, Byakuya is a noble soul and knows how to admit his mistakes.

Police detective, executor of the "Public Security Bureau" in a brave new world ruled by "Sibyl", a computer system. A proud loner who has made the decision to be out of society consciously and for compelling personal reasons. He is silent and does not let others in on his plans, not out of arrogance, but out of concern, so as not to harm people whose views he does not share, but whom he respects. He is so independent that it doesn’t even occur to “Sibyl” to win him over to his side, only to kill him. Because such a person cannot be caught either by vanity, or by money, or by promises of power. It's pointless to even suggest it.

One of the Dragons of heaven, the Guardians. A member of the powerful onmeji clan, possessing magical power, at first not believing in victory and ready for defeat. A character with whom not only girls fall in love en masse, he is so romantic. Robert Patisson enviously smokes on the sidelines, because he will never play such submission to fate. It’s good that the hero changes over the course of the series, stops doomedly following his predestined fate and fights for the future of people seriously, and not out of “duty of duty.”

An older demonic brother who is quite contemptuous of his younger brother, the human race, enemies, the surrounding reality, his father’s covenants... And this contempt is not feigned, don’t get your hopes up. But, as it unexpectedly turns out, this arrogant demon is very soft in his soul, remembers goodness, does not destroy the world without reason, takes in a child to raise, and still does not raise his hand to kill his hated brother. But he gets up - to fight with Naraku and even save his younger brother and his horde of friends who are getting tangled under his feet. Classic example a pathetic hero who has one and only weakness... Fatal for pathos.

For once, we have before us an adult man, a whole personality, not burdened with teenage complexes. The complete opposite of the eccentric Mugen. Almost always serious, cold-blooded in battle, measured in words. At the same time, it’s not a fool to visit the red light district on occasion and sharpen a katana on the heads of your enemies. He always and with great enthusiasm takes the opportunity to show Mugen who is d'Artagnan and who is just out for a walk. He hides his true feelings deep inside, but becomes very attached to his strange traveling companions.

Vice President of the famous school club. So cynical that he extracts money from everything: romantic feelings, the desire of girls to listen to compliments, the complexes of rich ladies, the general secret of club members... A secretive cracker, always with a calculator, knows everything in advance, calculates everything... And turns out to be completely defenseless in the face of the sincerity and love of life of his friend Tamaki, the innocence of Haruhi, the defenseless prickliness of the twins, the calm patience of Morizuka and the foolishness of Honey. It is not easy for a super-rich smart guy, the heir to a super-corporation, to one day discover that money is not everything in this life. But Kay definitely liked this discovery...definitely...

This is who is truly dangerous, independent and cool. Of course, the guy has the ability to control electricity, is an agent of a secret organization, a “cleaner”, knows quite a lot and is persistently trying to find out even more. Smart, easily fools the police, a worthy adversary, whom enemies take into account, a devoted friend. Like a true hero, he has weaknesses. Like true man, these weaknesses are girls. A striking example of a hero overcoming himself, circumstances and fate.

NICHOLAS D. WOLFWOOD "Trigun". A ruthless killer, a cold-blooded traitor, a cynical lover. A devoted friend, a gentle lover, a daredevil and a jokester. All this is about him, the two-faced one. In the image of Nicholas there are many allusions to St. Paul, who also went through a complete reassessment of values ​​after meeting another eccentric. Antihero in in every sense, charismatic, unpretentious, talkative at times. At first he evokes burning sympathy with his courage and adult, if not cynical, attitude towards life. And at the end - warm sympathy.

SASUKE SAGARA "Full Metal Panic!" This is an image completely devoid of romance - a stupid martinet, not a word to say to the girls, just waving guns, that is, he knows how to control the bellows. True, as soon as the authors slightly lift the veil of secrecy over Sagara’s past, the attitude of the audience, especially female spectators, changes towards him. And there is an explanation for his ignorance, and awkwardness with girls, and stubbornness, and cruelty. And despite all his shortcomings, no one ever doubted Sagara’s courage and devotion, right? No one doubted that Sagara would come and save everyone. There is no one else.

KENJI HARIMA "School Rumble". And here we have a “reverse antihero.” Under the guise of a hooligan, cynic and stupid brawler hid a generous, vulnerable, talented and loving young man. What a pity that girls pay attention to appearances and rarely look into the soul! This is accessible only to a few girls who themselves have a subtle, vulnerable soul. What a pity that boys fall in love with pretty, stupid girls who are unable to appreciate them! But that’s what love is for, it strikes like lightning without aiming – and there’s no point in grumbling about it. But Kenji is a hero, although comedic, but unconditional. Such work on oneself, such changes are available only to true cool heroes!

The silent hero circles through the labyrinths of “dense metallurgical forests” of a strange city that devours itself and builds itself. He fights with terrible cybernetic creatures, finds people, accepts help or refuses it, and searches for what truth he doesn’t know. Cold and dazzling - without a future or past, without hesitation, a shadow of fear or doubt in actions, he takes any reality for granted. Such a merciless image of an absolute hero, almost devoid of human emotions, which, by the way, is so...

TATSUMI OGA "Beelzebub". Children are the flowers of life, even satanic children. It’s hard to argue with this, but if you suddenly want to, look how the pathological brawler Oga Tatsumi has changed from communicating with a child and realizing a sense of responsibility! If earlier he fought just because his fists were itching, then after a child from hell came into his care, all his fights became deep meaning and a clear goal! And without joking, the example of this comedy character shows the unsuspecting viewer that even a gopnik can turn out to be sensitive and generous, and, without losing the purely boyish ability to fight deftly and not retreat, learn to compromise and see in people and good. Such heartfelt work shows true hero, albeit somewhat noisy for an ideal, but very, very persistent.

STAZ CHARLIE VLAD (Blood Lad). Can a kind, sympathetic and sensitive person lead one of the largest sectors for several years? the afterlife? It was impossible to suspect Staz, a cruel vampire who drinks human blood, of such character traits. But the appearance of Fuyumi Anagi in hell allowed the viewer to enjoy true character this hero. Under the mask of a vampire lies a person who, for the sake of love, is capable of turning rivers into a new direction, destroying a couple of cities with residents and tearing to shreds anyone who gets in her way of Fuyumi’s return to human world. And when listing the capabilities of Staz, I am not speaking figuratively. In his heart sits a bullet, fired as a child by his own older brother in order to reduce the boundless power of the young vampire.

Do you know a lot of anime where he hides his strength or pretends to be weak? Surely a lot. Or at least there will be a couple of examples with a protagonist who will have several skeletons in his closet.

Most often, such a plot can be found in the shounen genre or, as is now fashionable, in magic school. Almost every second series (if not the first) is replete with similar plot twists.

We will try to consider the newest representatives of this category:

The Irregular at Magic High School

An anime with a strong guy who hides his strength, or rather about a brother and sister. The story takes place in a world where magic and science go hand in hand and are practically interchangeable. In such a universe, people are divided into ordinary people and wizards, and the latter, in turn, are “weeds”, and the chosen ones.

Once again, the viewer is presented with a system of social inequality and clanism, which, within the framework of of this work very affected. Main character named Tatsuya enters educational institution With highest score in theory, but in practice he is only a weakling. But is this really so?

The first season was produced by the MadHouse studio, and feature film made "8 bit".

Welcome to the Classroom of the Elite

An anime where he is a loner and hides his strength, and this time there was no witchcraft and similar paraphernalia, which makes the film adaptation of the novel of the same name more interesting.

The story is told from the perspective of a protagonist named Kiyotaka Ayanokoji. He enrolls in an elite school, which is famous not only for its graduates around the world, but also horrifies its students with local rules and traditions. By a strange coincidence, Kiyotaka ends up in the worst of the classes, which is fighting for survival (an attempt to avoid expulsion or punishment for academic failure).

There, the main character meets a silent and unfriendly girl named Morikita, who also, due to certain factors, becomes Ayanokoji's neighbor. But is the seemingly ordinary high school student who constantly talks about this really inept and inexperienced? Or maybe he's stalking specific goals, understandable only to him.

The animated series was released in 2012, and the Lerche studio is responsible for production.

Persona 5

A film adaptation of the most popular and best-selling game in Japan, which received the highest ratings in both the east and the west. This is the best anime about a guy who hides his strength and his peers who help him in this very matter.

The plot is as follows:

The protagonist intervenes in a quarrel between a man and a woman, the outcome of which could lead to very sad consequences. As a result, the brawler turns out to be none other than an important government official. The result is obvious: the girl is forced to remain silent, and the brave poor fellow is accused of a crime that he did not commit.

After a while, almost abandoned to the will of fate, the unfortunate high school student moves in with the owner of a cafe, who is an acquaintance of his parents. Labeled bandit and criminal on probationary period, starts going to a new school.

Did he know that on the very first day of his visit he would become not only a hostage in virtual world, gain mysterious power and a reliable friend, but it is also possible to prevent the approaching and inevitable death of humanity.

Anime from studio "A-1". The characters are voiced by the same actors who were present in the game, including Jun Fukuyama (Lelouch) and Mumoru Miyano (Light Yagami)

Nonsense (Zaregotozukai)

The ideological heir to the Gatar series, this time with a detective twist. The main character of this anime is lazy, but at the same time he has hidden deductive abilities, which more than once help him in investigating the next case in which he, willy-nilly, finds himself drawn into.

And everything would be fine, but every time, having practically got to the bottom of the truth in the course of a sudden incident, the protagonist understands that all his conclusions and reasoning turn out to be nothing more than a delusion (although they help in uncovering), and the true face hiding behind the crime turns out to be so absurd and ridiculous that only one word comes to mind - nonsense.

Animated series from the studio "Shaft"

Code Geass

Of course, it was impossible not to mention the great and terrible Code Geass, where he is very smart and strong (of course not in the physical sense), who has to hide his hidden abilities from all the characters (well, or almost all).

The plot begins in parallel reality, or to be more precise, a completely different universe, where the world is ruled by great Britain, and Japan has become nothing more than a colony in the hands of a huge monopolist and invader.

The protagonist named Lelouch, the former heir to the throne, who lost all his power not without the help of his enemies, plays the role of an exemplary student in public, but in his heart he conceals plans to overthrow the usurpers. But his plan to carry out revenge was destined to come true much faster, since due to an accident, Lelouch becomes the owner of a magical gift - Geass.
