Wikipedia and Anime

I still feel like i dont trully understand the meaning of anime. to me i just thought of it as animation from japan, but on further inspection i found out so much more. i went to wikipedia.org because that is the newest web 2.0 form of an encyclopedia. when i tpyed in anime on the site i found out so much about to do with anime. the site talked about the history behind the word and how it all began and what they were tryin to achieve. they have sub genres related to the different apects in new and old media asscociated with anime. they talk about the influence that this asian genre is having over western culture and even the legal sides to making and publishin anime media.



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anime

this idea, to look for anime within other sites like wikipedia wouldn't of come to me had i not been looking at my friend francis blog page. in his blog he was talking about the history behind the UK music scene known as "grime".
