Introduction Anime is a Japanese loan word used to describe the wide range of animated films produced in Japan. Anime is also widely known as Japanese Animation or Japanimation. I prefer the term anime, but any of these terms are acceptable. Anime is extremely diverse in its subject matter, including science fiction, horror, drama, history, mystery, adventure, fantasy, sports, romance, and perhaps most infamously, pornography. I think that it is partly this diversity that drew me to anime in the first place. My original interest in anime began about 10 years ago, when I would catch bits and pieces of anime movies that were broadcast on late night television for a time. I was intrigued, but after these spots were removed ( I think that channel was bought out and became a Spanish channel) my interest faded away. I am not ashamed to admit that what rekindled my interest in anime some years later was the Pokemon series that was created to complement Nintendo's video games. By this time, I was old enough to begin buying anime on my own, and I started collecting. Since then, I have amassed a collection that includes as of this writing 67 DVD's, two dozen figures, a dozen CD's, and even one imported video game (Evangelion 64). Additional Information
