Films & Anime
The worldbuildings and direction-centered settings expressed in the visual media.
Films and animations deliver worldbuilding and power through visual direction. Because of this, symbolism and direction often outweigh logical completeness in the setting.
MoonWiki organizes film and anime works by direction approach, power-expression mode, and setting compression, allowing comparison with other media.
Highlights
- Power expression centered on visual direction
- Symbolic and simplified setting
- Worldbuilding shaped by mass-audience appeal
