Japanese CartoonsI know a lot of grown men in their forties and fifties who still love Japanese cartoons - manga or anime. Find out why they are so popular the world over. Manga are Japanese comics. They are often very thick, not like the thin comics from North America. Anime refers to Japanese animation--Japanese animated films and TV programs. Speed Racer Although a very old anime, I doubt many of the younger generations have watched it. In a sense, this anime's lack of audience over the decades has made it new again and worthy of a review. I recieved the recent release of Speed Racer as a Christmas gift, and I learned a lot about its original production and its dubbing from both the DVD and those on my mailing list who are more familiar with the anime. This anime focuses on racing and of course the famous driver. Petshop of HorrorsThis manga, Petshop of Horrors by Matsuri Akino, is really unique. It's one in which I love the story a whole lot, but I really don't like either of the characters; it's very iffy there. The tone in each chapter is vastly different from the other - ranging from horrible and sadistic to wonderful and heart-warming.
