Anime Goes Mainstream: There's Something for Everyone, so Get in on the Act
Halsall, Jane
School Library Journal, v56 n9 p32-33 Sep 2010
"Princess Mononoke," "Akira," and "Cowboy Bebop" may not be household names. But in the world of anime, or Japanese animation, they are among the top 10 films ever made. With its complex plots and moral messages, anime is as intelligent as some of the best feature films. From the epic fantasy "Ninja Scroll" and the cyberpunk "Ghost in the Shell" to the sci-fi romance "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time," anime has something for everyone, whether it is romance, action, fantasy, adventure, or mystery. No wonder it has gone mainstream, with thousands of young fans flocking to anime conventions across the country and teens from all socioeconomic and racial backgrounds trading cards, collecting art, and, of course, watching it on TV, DVDs, and the big screen every chance they can get. In this article, the author provides a list of anime movies.
