Just What Is Anime?
To make this as simple as possible, anime is a shorter name for japanese animation; the first thing I should note is..NOT ALL ANIME IS MADE FOR KIDS! Sure you have Hello Kitty and....er, well...okay so that's all I can think of right now but c'mon. Take a look at Akira for instance - blood, gore, sci-fi; definately not the type of stuff for kids. Anyway, anime also exists both on the Internet and in specialty stores.
A Few Terms and Questions:
Hentai:Basicly, it's anime porn. Unless you like that sorta thing, I suggest not to get it. Let me also make it crystal clear my site will not link to any hentai sites nor do I watch or own any at home. Be forwarned - it may involve tenticles.
Manga: A japanese word meaning "comic book". Like anime it also has many different genres - and yes - including hentai.
Q: Why the heck do most anime girls have big eyes?
During the 1960s and 1970s, many anime/manga series were created by women, so creators wanted a way to express various types of emotions as simple as possible. Girls with "giant" eyes are kind and gentle - usually.
Q: What's with the characters looking like little kids?
When anime characters turn/become chibi ("little" in japanese), this is just a way of showing exaggeration.
