Abstract

Myths have such a special place in people’s thoughts and beliefs that by which one can promote a way of thought among people and sometimes dispatch a way of thought into oblivion. In line with this, Japanese writers and artists have successfully included such a goal in their dramatic and visual works – among them animations – and tried their best to present it in new formats to their viewers. Manga, as a traditional designing style in Japan, which depicts various social questions in a fractionated manner in a single frame, has been used in Anime, the Japanese animation. The style in question has managed to build on Japan’s culture and myths to influence its audience at home and abroad. Naruto is one outstanding example of such works. The current research aims to identify the myths in the Japanese culture and analyzes them in Anime Naruto series. The researcher has applied a qualitative method with a descriptive approach based on reviewing library references, as well as archived audio and visual works. The research focuses on a review of Anime Naruto and the impact of cinema and Japanese myths on it. The results of the research show that cinema has left an impact on the Anime thanks to its realistic attitude. This advantage has in turn made Anime Naruto a believable animation series for different audiences
