What is anime?

-A popular type of program on Cartoon Network and other TV channels
-Something from Japan
-Something inspires freaks, like us.
-Something that has a large number of fans around the world, although it originated in Japan
-Something we have a website about
-Something loosely translated from Japanese when showed on American TV channels, thus blocking all the funny-yet-oh-so-slightly-inappropriate stuff that we all want to see.

Are you planning to give me a real answer?

Yes, fine. *hmph*

Anime is a Japanese Animation type thing. Or rather, it is Japanese animation. Simply put, anyway. Otherwise, it can be expanded to include Graphic Novels/Mangas, and other related stuff.

Cartoon Network, a TV channel you've probably heard of, airs Toonami on Saturday nights. Personally, I don't happen to be home watching TV on Sat. night, but perhaps you can. Anyway, Toonami has helped popularize anime in the US(at least, not sure about other places). Stuff they've shown - Yu-Gi-Oh, Yu Yu Hakasho, Dragon Ball /Z/GT, Naruto, Inuyasha? - can be considered anime. Actual, real, uncut, Japanese, Manga-based anime. Not any other crud. This is REAL anime, and they've shown uncut versions of them, thereby not showing crap(excuse me) versions they've edited to pieces.

I'll have more to say, I just can't think of it right now... check back later. I should've given you the basic idea by now though....

All in all...

Anime is awesome, and don't let my crappy (Sorry, I do apologize, but it's an awfully descriptive word) page influence you either way. Actually, let it make anime sound better, not worse.

Sorry... yes, I think anime is cool (I mean, why else would I be part of this site?). If you do, go ahead and check out the rest of the site. Please, do so. If you don't.. well then, watch Toonami or something, and come back when you're ready to admit it's awsomeness.

If you really don't, and you have some (valid) complaints, go ahead and comment. You might even find yourself as part of this site!
