What is anime?
Anime is the dragon that soars across an
autumn sky.
It is the unseen cyborg in optical camouflage
marching into the fray.
It is the spirit of a dying
school girl seeking her lost love.
It is the quest
for a legendary treasure that no longer exists on this world...
or even this universe.
This is anime.
It is literally "Japanese animation."
They are never referred to as "cartoons."
That's an American term.
Anime is everything that
American animators wish they could do if they could
shake
off the popular belief that animation is just for kids.
In
Japan, anime tends to target different age groups, not just children,
but teens and adults as well.
Some
of the best anime contain mature themes in which characters love,
live, and even die,
unlike your average Saturday
morning cartoon.
This is anime.
And it's not afraid to go where traditional American
cartoons fear to tread.
It takes us to wondrous
worlds and curious places, where we meet truly remarkable
and fascinating characters, such as people who only
exist through the lenses of special high tech glasses,
or
a demon who yearns of being human once more without having to
eat the flesh of other humans,
or a girl who can
only live in the memories of her friends risks fading into oblivion
if they should ever forget.
So if you're looking for new sources of inspiration
and ideas to fuel your imagination,
treat yourself
to something new and leap into the fantastic worlds of Japanese
Animation.
This is anime.
