Title: Article about anime becoming popular
Post by: The D on Dec 09, 2004, 09:28:55 PM
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor...lling_animation (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=529&ncid=529&e=4&u=/ap/20041210/ap_en_bu/japan_selling_animation)

This is cool, but what really interested me was this one paragraph.

Quote
Kathie Borders, who runs Wizzywig Collectibles, a store devoted to manga and anime in Ann Arbor, Mich., which carries Ledford's videos and books, says the popularity of Pokemon and YuGiOh! — perhaps the best-known characters — has propelled a boom in anime that's not only for the usually male, 20-something video-game-loving crowd. It's now drawing fans of all ages, and increasingly, women.

That's where I go to rent anime!  :D  :D  :lol:

She looses points for mentioning Pokemon and Yugioh though.


Quote
Another, "Apocalpyse Meow," chronicles the adventures of three brave rabbits fighting as American soldiers in the Vietnam War. The rabbits tromp through jungles dressed in camouflage and wielding machine guns, taking part in nightmarish battles amid smoking explosions and hovering helicopters.

Has anyone actually heard of this? I haven't. :/

They probably fight cats or something.

Quote
The 36-year-old American is one of the top foreign distributors of Japanese "manga" comics and animation, known as "anime," building his fortune on a genre that is rapidly changing from a niche market to a mass phenomenon.
That's terrible writing. "'Manga' comics and animation, known as 'anime.'"

Ugh.

I didn't quite understand what I quoted back then...

The writer indicated that Japanese comics are called "manga" and Japanese cartoons are called "anime," but the way it was written seemed a bit weird.

One might make the inference that anime refers to animal pr0n rather than animation.

Maybe it seems weird because it looks like anime includes both comics and animation.
