Can anime without stories still be engaging?

You can focus on creating interesting characters. For example, give them unique personalities, dreams, and flaws. A character who is trying to overcome a great fear or achieve a long - held goal can be very engaging.

Games with simple stories can also be engaging due to the replayability factor. 'Tetris' has a very simple story - you just stack falling blocks. But it has different levels of difficulty and the ability to compete against your own high scores. The simplicity of the story means that players can jump right in and try to improve their performance. Also, the anticipation of the next block and how to fit it into the stack creates an engaging experience without the need for a complex narrative.

Use the concept of self - discovery. Have a character who is on a journey, not a physical one necessarily, but an emotional and mental one. Maybe they start off thinking they know who they are, but through different encounters and experiences, they realize there is so much more to themselves. This kind of internal exploration can be very interesting for readers.

There are also Tumblr stories about pets. People share the cute and funny things their pets do, like a cat chasing its own tail or a dog trying to catch a squirrel. These stories are full of warmth and can always bring a smile to your face.

One way is to give them unique personalities. For example, a character could be overly confident but also kind-hearted. Another aspect is their appearance. They can have distinct hairstyles or clothing styles that make them stand out.

By focusing on character development. Even if the origin is anticlimactic, if the character grows and changes in interesting ways, the story can be engaging. For example, a character who became a chef because they lost a bet, but then they discover a passion for cooking through their experiences in the kitchen.

Well, 'Nichijou' can be considered in a way. It's a slice - of - life anime where the stories are more like random and comical daily events. It doesn't really have a continuous, overarching story. It's popular because of its unique humor, wacky characters, and the way it presents ordinary life in an extraordinary way. Each little segment can be enjoyed on its own without relying on a big story arc.

First, focus on interesting characters. Develop their personalities, backstories, and goals. For example, a young adventurer on a quest to save a magical land. Second, build a captivating plot with twists and turns, like unexpected allies or hidden enemies. Third, use vivid and detailed illustrations to bring the story to life, such as showing the beautiful landscapes of the magical land. Also, add elements of humor or mystery to keep the readers hooked throughout the story.

Focus on positive emotions and relationships. For example, write about characters who support and encourage each other. A story about a group of friends helping one another achieve their dreams can be very engaging without any need for 'verbal abuse'.

No. Games like Flappy Bird are engaging without a story. The challenge of guiding the bird through the pipes keeps players hooked. The simplicity of the gameplay and the pursuit of a high score make it exciting.
