Anime Invasion!

Aside from eating sweets, I have to admit, I'm an anime lover! I love to watch anime shows. Since my childhood, I have been hooked by these shows. They bring me a feeling that I'm still young.( but I'm still really young!).Watching anime shows widens my imaginations to the things in this world. They make my imaginations wild, (not like that of animals you think). In the world of anime, everything is impossible. EVERYTHING

I love  because I can relate to the characters, and also because they can do other-worldly things that we can only dream of! The story lines are also super developed and surprising, almost every single time. And theres always humor, drama and romance thrown into each one! How could it get any better. Anime shows bring your imagination soar to new heights.

 

Above all, I could not express or even state the reason and the secret why animes are fun and interesting to me. It's a mystery to solve!

What a strange feeling! All the anime lovers, like me, I know that you will agree with me, that anime are really wonderful and fun thing we enjoy much.

Anime is the Japanese abbreviated pronunciation of "animation". The definition sometimes changes depending on the context. In English-speaking countries, the term most commonly refers to Japanese animated cartoons.

 While the earliest known Japanese animation dates to 1917, and many original Japanese cartoons were produced in the ensuing decades, the characteristic anime style developed in the 1960s—notably with the work of Osamu Tezuka—and became known outside Japan in the 1980s.

Anime, like manga, has a large audience in Japan and recognition throughout the world. Distributors can release anime via television broadcasts, directly to video, or theatrically, as well as online.

Both hand-drawn and computer-animated anime exist. It is used in television series, films, video, video games, commercials, and internet-based releases, and represents most, if not all, genres of fiction. As the market for anime increased in Japan, it also gained popularity in East and Southeast Asia. Anime is currently popular in many different regions around the world.

 

According to Wikipedia, 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 as mecha 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, Real Robot, Dragon Ball, and Space Opera set a boom as well.

Later, in 2004, the same creators produced.

In the 1990s and 2000s, anime series such as Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon, Pokémon, as well as films like Ghost in the Shell became worldwide successes, while other anime series such as Gundam, Macross, Neon Genesis Evangelion and Cowboy Bebop were popular in Japan and attracted attention from the West. A number of animations have been produced in the West, and the growth of the internet also led to the rise of fansub anime.
