Hot Time For Anime

If you don’t know what anime is meaning, you are a 100 percent out of date.

Gen-X'ers and older Gen-Y's grew up in the 1980s, when comic book series cartoons like "The X-Men," "Justice League," "Captain America," "Teen Titans," "Spider-Man," "Batman," "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and "The Transformers." As these kids aged, they became adults in their 20s and 30s, creating comic book movie blockbusters to keep the legacy going. The next generation of younger Gen-Y's would look to Japan and China for their comic book series. They grew up with "Dragonball Z," "Pokemon" and "Sailor Moon." Anime comics came to America with surprising fervor and it's not likely to dissipate anytime soon.

The DC and Marvel Comic fans sometimes view anime fans as the ultimate nerds, the plot lines as "cheesy" and the characters as "daft" or "annoying." Older Americans often scratch their heads and ask, "Why are anime comics so popular among today's youth?" Some could argue it was a massive advertising campaign that came over from Japan, who saw America and Europe as large, untapped markets. The challenge was to rework their material into exportable goods with English sub-titles and over-dubs.

They farmed enthusiasm with several different products, with movies like "Ghost in the Shell" or "Akira" and cartoon series like "Dragonball Z," "Pokemon" and "Sailor Moon." The basic business model was to keep costs low, try a little of everything and see what works. Once their endeavors showed great success, the merchandise, the manga comics and the graphic novels made their way over as well. It was the basic economic edict of supply and demand. Give the fans what they want in every capacity, such as with figurines, costumes, backpacks, t-shirts, manga comics, DVDs, downloads and comic book series.

Moreover, the messages in anime comics reach today's youth at a level that traditional DC or Marvel comic books missed. Anime focuses more on emotions, relationship struggles, introspection, adventurous personal quests and the hero's journey; all in surreal, magical surroundings. Unlike cartoons for kids, anime characters will die and complex relationships are formed. Nothing is off-limits in the anime world, not even sex or violence.

People are confronted with deep concepts and provoked to think about the meaning of life. In a way, it's the softer, psychological side of Marvel, blended with the magical, omniscient qualities of a DC superhero: the best of both worlds. For the male fans, some manga comics are adapted to show sexier heroines -- some in their coy school girl uniforms, others with more Westernized curves and futuristic apparel. Yet for the female fans, plots center on soap opera type stories of love, longing and character development. In fact, women make up half the attendees at the anime comics conventions.

Some of the most-viewed anime comics today include Fullmetal Alchemist, Cowboy Bebop, Bleach, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Naruto, Death Note, FLCL, Princess Mononoke (movie), Trigun, Inyuasha and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Account that how many anime series you have watched? At least, I have watched all of this classical anime series. I am a absolutely 80s guy.

Supernatural the Animation Hits Comic Con

It is said that the blue-ray disc and the animated adaptation DVD version of the popular US show Supernatural will be firstly released on Jan 12^th, 2011. The animated version named Supernatural The Animation has been a hot topic in US, especially around the comic field. On July 25^th, the crew from the adaptation animation held a conference at Comic Con in San Diego, California. I guess, this is the best time for the premiere of the new animation. San Diego Comic Con is the most festival in the world of comic, animation and cosplay.

So, the appearance of the crew, all the comic lovers there are excited. The meeting place which can only accommodate 5 thousand people is much higher than the admission regulations. All the people there want to have a look at the new anime, no matter he is a comic lover, animation enthusiast or a cosplayer crazy. It seems that Supernatural the Animation has become the main title of this comic con.

In the conference, we got some information from the coming anime. There is a formal statement of the new roles, Dean and Sam are also brothers like the brothers performed by Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki in the TV show. The image of the brothers has left a deep impression for the United States fans. The crew released the preview of the episode 4 of Supernatural season 6 and express the high expectation of the new animated version. They all believe the new anime will get a great success in the world. In addition, there is a show of two episodes which Jensen Ackles dubs. What is funny, Jensen says that he is deeply interested in this job and familiar with Japanese which makes the audience laugh.

Why are there so many guys like the show and even the coming anime? Let me figure it out. Supernatural is a supernatural TV series produced by CW television, very popular in the United States, has aired five seasons, and the six season will be released in Sep 2010. There are lots of Supernatural lover around the world. And the animated version is the works of the famous Japanese animation studio Madhouse. If you like watch horror and thriller type of anime, you certainly be familiar with the name. Death Note, Monster and the popular High school of the dead are all its classics. So, I guess the new animated version will be a great one and accepted by not only the TV show lovers and also the anime enthusiasts.

The animated version Supernatural will be a combination production of Warner Bros and Japanese Animation production company. The whole anime is infected with rich colors of Japanese animation. But unfortunately, the new anime wont circulated in the homeland of the TV series, US. What a pity. Maybe, if there are too many American want to look at it, Warner Bros may make it in front of you.

Finally, I bet that everyone will like it. No matter you are a TV enthusiast, a anime lover or a nice cosplayer, you will definitely be interested in this new anime.
