In this Anime Video Essay, I discuss various elements that work to make the ideal character backstory. In anime, backstories are notorious for being overly sad and devastating, at time becoming the best part of a show and at others taking action from the current narrative. Backstories like; Guts from Berserk, Sanji and Oden from One Piece, Kakashi from Naruto, and Ed & AL in Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, are examples of how to use backstories properly in a show.
