But in the world of anime, or Japanese animation, they're among the top 10 films ever made. You've seen it-colorful cartoon characters with big eyes, spiky hair, and small mouths. And you've probably heard about it-Hayao Miyazaki's latest film, Ponyo, was the ninth highest-grossing film in this country on its opening weekend last summer. With its complex plots and moral messages, anime is as intelligent as some of the best feature films. Take Grave of the Fireflies, written and directed by Isao Takahata. According to film critic Roger Ebert, it's one of the most powerful anti-war movies of all time. Or Paprika, directed by Satoshi Kon and animated by Madhouse Studios, a visual masterpiece where reality and dreams collide. From the epic fantasy Ninja Scroll and the cyberpunk Ghost in the Shell to the sci-fi romance The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, anime has something for everyone, whether it's romance, action, fantasy, adventure, or mystery.

...The history of anime began at the start of the 20th century, when Japanese filmmakers experimented with the animation techniques that were being explored in the West. During the 1970s, anime developed further, separating itself from its Western roots, and developing distinct genres such asmecha and its Super Robot sub-genre. Typical shows from this period include Lupin III and Mazinger Z. During this period several filmmakers became famous, especially Hayao Miyazaki and Mamoru Oshii. In the 1980s, anime was accepted in the mainstream in Japan, and experienced a boom in production. The rise of Gundam, Macross, Dragon Ball, and the Real Robot and space opera genres set a boom as well. The film Akira set records in 1988 for the production costs of an anime film and went on to become a success worldwide. Later, in 2004, the same creators produced Steamboy, which took over as the most expensive anime film. The Super Dimension Fortress Macross also became a worldwide success after being adapted as part of Robotech, and Megazone 23 also gained recognition in the West after it was adapted as Robotech: The Movie.[citation needed] The internet also led to the rise of fansub anime. Spirited Away shared the first prize at the 2002 Berlin Film Festival and won the 2003 Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, while Innocence: Ghost in the Shell was featured at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival.

...Mangaka Anime Introduction Anime refers to the animation style originated in Japan. It is characterized by distinctive characters and backgrounds, hand-drawn or computer-generated that visually and thematically set it apart from other forms of animation. Storylines may include a variety of fictional or historical characters, events, and settings. Anime is aimed at a broad range of audiences and consequently, a given series may have aspects of a range of genres. Anime is most frequently broadcasted on television or sold on DVDs either after their broadcast run or directly as original video animation. Console and computer games sometimes also feature segments or scenes that can be considered anime. Manga is Japanese for "comics" or "whimsical images". Manga developed from a mixture of Ukiyo-e and Western styles of drawing, and took its current form shortly after World War II. Manga, apart from covers, is usually published in black and white but it is common to find introductions to chapters to be in color, and is read from top to bottom and then right to left, similar to the layout of a Japanese plain text. Financially, manga represented in 2005 a market of ¥24 billion in Japan and one of $180 million in the United States. Manga was the fastest growing segment of books in the United States in 2005. Anime and manga share many characteristics, including: exaggerating of physical features, to which the reader presumably should pay most attention, "dramatically shaped speech bubbles...

...The history of anime extends all the way back to early 20th century Japan with the success of the first commercial animated film, 1917’s Imokawa Mukuzo, The Janitor. Since then, anime has evolved into a worldwide phenomenom with numerous franchises and large fan bases. Among them is AKIRA, a cult classic film revered as the “quintessential anime” and one of the best anime and science fiction films of all time. Initially created by Katsuhiro Otomo as a manga in 1982, the first half of AKIRA was later adapted into a feature film in 1988.

...According to Kumiko Saito, Japanese girls have thought about gender roles in the society inspired by those magical girl animes, which is “a mainstay of television animation programming that distinctly targets female prepubescent viewers” (144) after World War 2. The main topic of animes after World War 2 is heroism story. When people read those stories, they found there exists a big gap between Japanese women and female characters in manga. Sally the Witch（1966-68）, the first magical girl genre anime, describes a story about a magic princess’ adventure in the human world and how Sally finally finds her responsibility.

...Since the 1960�s anime has boomed into a world wide label for cartoons. However, these cartoons can be a bad influence for children of a certain age, poor examples for viewers to follow, and has not established any creative guide lines. During the past decade or so anime has boomed into entertainment for many different age groups. From a giant robot battle in space to fighting ninjas with deadly weapons, ninjutsu, and giant foxes fighting giant snakes and frogs, anime reaches out to many audiences. When children under the age of thirteen see this stuff they may attempt to try it them-self, and with no parent to tell them what is real and what is not, then it may be attempted by the viewer. If a child under thirteen reads the manga (anime books) and some one is reading it with them, then that adult supervision can protect them from bad influences that might see. An adult needs to be with the child while watching the anime series or reading the book. Without parental viewing then the child will not know that the violence in the anime, or manga books should not be imitated in the real world. In fact a child died while mimicking Gaara. (from what I know, his friends burried his head in a sand box) this is off of a show called Naruto other anime such as this are know as Bleach, Inuyasha, Death Note has a warning, but is not strong or specific. If a child can imitate this there is no telling what else will happen next. If a child under thirteen watches these shows and does not imitate...

...line from the wanting to watch anime to needing to watch it. Our personal take on anime is we watch what we enjoy. And we truly like anime. But we keep thinking we should stop watching because it is childish. We purchase anime on rare occasions, and watch anime maybe once a week. Recently we have been watched a lot more anime than we should often since we found online site for anime. We’ve guess what we am saying is most of my friends and family "don't get the anime thing". Therefore, we end up watching anime on my own feeling something like a social outcast. Socially we am busy being as we am out of college, in a very exhausting job, trying to find time to date, into sports, looking into grad school, etc. we know there are others out there thinking the same thing. So what is your takes on this. Does anime become a social dysfunction? Portraying anime as a cultural thing can only go so far...I guess what they saying are "doing get the anime influenced". Therefore, we should end up watching anime on our own feeling something like a social outcast. Socially we are busy being as we am out of college, in a very exhausting job, trying to find time to date, into sports, looking into grad school, etc. Seems to that you’re only a casual anime fan, so were good. As long as we have a life that extends beyond anime, don't worry. When you start using Japanese words in daily conversation, sit at a computer all night every night watching anime, and withdraw from other activities...

...first case of Hollywood stars announcing their love for anime (Micheal B. Jordan, Leonardo DiCaprio, and even her husband, Kanye West), the appearance and status that Kim tends to uphold seems to be what is troubling many fans. She is known for her modeling, reality TV, and for some people, her assets. Kim K's recent visit to Japan showed she died her hair a bright pink with some black roots. Soon, several people began to compare the style to most anime characters, some as far as Sakura Haruno from Naruto (though I do not see the resemblance in that one). Some have even gone as drawing her in anime style. While some anime fans are accepting and welcoming to the newly outed fan, others have begun questioning her authenticity. Some have begun calling her a "fake anime fan" and accusing her of doing it for publicity. Some have even continually asked her to name five series....

...Busting Barriers: Fansubbing and Distribution in the Age of ‘Piracy’ Interest in faucets of other world cultures has been an active gear for international trade, tourism travel, and educational relocation for almost as long as humans have existed in the universe. Regardless of clashing trends in fashion, ideals, political views and processes, choice in cuisine, religious beliefs, or spoken language people have always been interested in other parts of our vast world. But then a problem emerges…how much is it going to cost? How long will it take to get there? Is anyone actually interested? As with most things, it costs money to keep running, clean, or accessible to the public. Some people want to travel to some far away land and see a landmark, eat unique dishes with the locals, or even just catch up with the family…but not everyone can afford buying a plane ticket to such places. Or afford to learn how to speak the native tongue. Fansubbing, the activity of placing an aftermarket textual overlay on top of a video stream for the sole purpose of translating any audio or video contained within into another language by a member or group of members of the fan community, can trace it roots back to the 1970’s[1] when on military personal from the United States brought or sent VHS tapes home to friends and family from Japan, sparking interest in Anime in the United States. First it started off with small AV club showings in High Schools and Universities. Members would gather together...
