Welcome To My Home Page
Welcome to the Anime home page! My admiration of and exploration into the world of Japanese animation and manga. Rather, consider it a general overview of Japanese Animation for the casual reader. Comments, complaints, and contributions should also be directed to me. Inside you will find out some info on a few of the best anime series around as well as a few pics. All comments are welcome and would be much appreiciated. Enjoy! ^_^ |
Where can I get anime?
Over the past thirty years, many anime titles have made their way to the U.S. Recently, there has been a tremendous upsurge in the U.S. Anime market, with several commercial companies releasing English-language anime into the theatrical market and for home release on videocassette and laserdisc.
Some useful terminology:
Subtitled anime is anime that has been translated into English with the original Japanese soundtrack preserved. The English dialogue appears in the form of a "text track" across the bottom of the screen.
Dubbed anime is anime that has had the original Japanese soundtrack replaced by a new track with English-speaking actors. In most cases, the original music is preserved.
You can find most commercial titles fairly easily; most chain video-rental stores (Blockbuster in particular) have started stocking a variety of titles. Comic Book and SF specialty stores as well as places like Suncoast Motion Picture Company have many videos for purchase as well.

What is Anime?
Anime is the Japanese word for Animation. In Japan, the animation industry is much more towards the forefront than it is in the United States, and shows covering virtually every genre can be found in the form of television shows, Original Animation Videos (OAVs or OVAs) and feature films.
Much like any other entertainment medium, anime can range from the very silly to the very serious, and is not necessarily intended for children or any specific age group. Still thinking of more to be added... |
Note:
Watch out for pirate videos. Usually you will find these tapes in specialty shops and SF conventions; they usually come packaged in clamshell hard plastic cases with bad color-copied inserts. Besides being blatantly illegal, these are copied onto bargain basement tapes which will eat your VCR. Keep on the lookout for these leeches and don't give them your money. More times than not, these people use source material which was produced for free access by fandom and which are usually available elsewhere for free.
