Simply put, anime is a form of cartoon animation created in Japan, which explains animes formerly-popular moniker, Japanimation. Anime’s history began at the start of the 20th century. This was when Japanese filmmakers began trying out new animation techniques that were being used in the Western world. Anime did not reach mainstream status until the 1980s, and since then it has blown up not only in Japan, but around the globe.
Part of the draw that anime possesses is the fact that they can target wide ranges of viewers. This is due to the fact that animes are not confined to one category, but run the entire gamut of genres, including action, sci-fi, drama, romance, horror, and yes, even erotica. Many animes do not limit themselves to one particular genre and mix genres together.
Animation itself allows anime creators to convey just about any storyline they desire. It is much easier to make a cartoon about large robots featuring huge action and destruction sequences than it is to produce a live-action film including the same things. With recent advances in CGI animators have even more power to transfer their wildest imaginations on to a screen. Storylines, characters, and settings are limited only to what creators can conjure up in their minds. Read more...

A while back I had posted a blog on Asian blepharoplasty. For a refresher on this eyelid surgery procedure, it involves reshaping the upper eyelid to create a crease in the lids. The resulting look is very Caucasian and gives the appearance of wider eyes.
Individuals having Oriental eyes and sleepy eyes usually opt for an Asian blepharoplasty or double eyelid surgery. Very often, the reasons for this particular plastic surgery procedure are purely cosmetic.
Christopher Johnson, a student, has taken the regular Asian blepharoplasty a step further and got himself a pair of anime eyes. Anime is a very popular style of the Japanese comic book and video art form of manga. The characters are characterized by their eyes, which are doe-eyed and larger than average.
While it is not impossible for plastic surgery to fashion such a look, it is certainly counted an extreme procedure. The cosmetic procedure required colored lenses to be inserted into Johnson’s eyes, without which there was a danger of them falling off.
While Johnson may not have been alone in wishing for anime features (it does have a large cult following), the pursuit of such an extreme method of physical alteration can at best be viewed with caution. Read more...

Wallpapering your desktop can be almost as creative as the product itself. In fact, drawing on this principle, Japanese artists decided to give the world a new experience and called it Japanimation or anime wallpapers.
Initially called Japanimation and later called anime, the art form involved a genre of drawings that adhered to a particular style. Though there are variations in style and studio within the genre, common characteristics include distortion of body proportions, dramatically shaped speech bubbles and exclamatory typography.
Anime usually depict people with unusually large eyes, elongated limbs or with a large head of hair. And with wallpapers constituting a huge industry, it didn’t take long for the Japanese to jump onto the anime wallpapers bandwagon.
The art form was soon used to design wallpapers, both static and interactive, video games, internet clips and short and full-length feature films like Momotaro’s Divine Sea Warriors. But if that dates back to 1944, why is anime not more popular than it is?

The anime phenomenon originated in Japan and it is an animation style that is influenced by manga or Japanese comics. The characters have large eyes, long limbs, big hair, overly exaggerated facial expressions as well as other distinctive features. Anime is wildly popular all over the world and it is being used in TV shows, films, video games and commercials.
If you are a fan of anime and would like to start a collection of anime statues, you have a lot of choices. The first thing you should do is be sure that you have a place in the house to display your collection. There is little point in collecting if you cannot put your statues on display, so find a suitable location and if necessary, purchase a display case or two so that your newly acquired animes will have a place to be kept. The best way to begin a collection of this kind is to start with purchasing some of the older, most common figures, as they will be the least expensive to purchase. It is also wise, especially if you are on a budget, to begin by purchasing some of the smaller anime statues such as the Inuyasha figurines that are four inches tall. Each of these statues come on a blister card and include such popular characters as Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, Kagome, Sango and Miroku. This particular collection came out in 2005 and can generally be found online. Read more...
