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!

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. :/

Rabbits don't go Meow.

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.

What about that gem up there? Since when are Pokemon and Yugioh characters?

And I haven't heard of it before but I kinda wanna look into that Apocalypse Meow thing meow, um, now....

I agree with TM2 Rampage. Why do they allow people to be so uneducated when they write articles about various subjects?

Extra Zero · « **Reply #6 on:** Dec 14, 2004, 01:18:15 AM »

Atleast he didn't confuse Sailor Moon with Sex and the City.

A common mistake.

In her defense, Sailor Moon does lack Kim Catrall.

What diverse tastes in men this young lady has.

Noth/Stallone/Faye threesome. Faye, use your countess connections and short skirts and make it so.
