Japanese animation (otherwise known as
"anime" which is pronounced "ah-nee-may")
and comics (also known as "manga"), has become a growing
phenomenon here in the West. Since its emergence several years
ago, anime and manga have been gathering fans from all over the
world. There have even been conventions out in the west coast
of the United States targeted strictly toward Japanese animation
and manga fans. What people find so appealing rests in their
individual tastes, for both anime and manga cover such a wide
variety of subjects, ranging from giant robots, high school dilemmas,
sword and sorcery, sports, comedy, romance, music, and much more.
But with such a large selection, where does one look for more
information? That is why the Animatrix Network has been created.
The Animatrix Network is a fan club, by fans for fans, dedicated
to helping those who share a common interest in the amazing world
of Japanese animation and manga. We have contacts from all over
the world who could give us the most up-to-date information on
anime related news and events. The Network shares a symbiotic
trading relationship with a number of different fan clubs across
the United States. Animatrix, itself, is one of the largest clubs
in the Midwest, and we are always eager to make new contacts
with other clubs as well as subtitlers and other collectors.
Animatrix tries to provide answers to people's questions and
become, in essence, an important source for their needs. Plus,
there are a number of artists and writers out there who are eager
to show their works, and we encourage them and everyone else
to share in their achievements. Over the years, interest in Japanese
animation and manga has expanded into other areas as well, so
we've opened the doors to other sub-cultures, such as anime influenced
live-action movies from Asian filmmakers, who have created films
such as Crying Freeman, Wicked City, and City Hunter. Our monthly
meetings have special screenings of the newest anime releases
available and everyone is invited to attend. Video game enthusiasts
and fantasy role-playing fans are always welcome to bring in
their favorite games, and we plan to develop our international
trading policy so that members can get in contact with fans from
all over the world.
We intend to go even further as the number of fans increase each
year. Everyone is encouraged to contribute something of themselves
and to take part in this ever-growing tidal wave of anime and
manga fans. If what you like is good animation with mature and
interesting storylines, incredible adventures in both science-fiction
and fantasy, and appealing wide-eyed character designs, then
join the Animatrix Network and leap into new realms of Japanese
animation and manga. |
