First of all, you may be wondering: What is anime? Well, the simplest explanation is to say that it is animation produced in Japan. That's really only the tip of the iceberg though. Anime is produced in Japan for people of all ages and tastes. Whatever type of movie or show you like to watch, it's a safe bet there's at least one and more likely several anime series about that topic. Comedy, sci-fi, fantasy, drama, sports, action, suspense...it's all there.
