Let's start in the late '90s, early '00s. Anime is huge, in video stores and on TV. Shows like Dragonball Z, Pokémon, and Gundam Wing have toys in toy stores, more than a dozen anime DVDs are released every week, there's are many U.S. anime companies, and they're all riding high, releasing basically the last 20 years of Japan's finest anime TV shows, movies, and OVAs at their leisure.

I was pretty (read very) sceptical about Madoka because it was a Magical Girl anime, a friend who was also a rabid fan of the show showed this to me. 24 hours later I was also a rabid fan.

There are many sad moments in anime, especially if the anime has outstanding character development. We’ve taken our time and gathered ten of the most heart wrenching moments that can be found in anime thus far. Note: This article contains plot spoilers for several different anime and is intended for readers that don’t care about …

Think of Japanese culture, and one thing might spring to mind above all: anime. And if you grew up in the West in the 80s or 90s, the kind of anime you envisage might very well centre on one particular genre, likely influenced by international collaborations like Transformers: robot anime.

While U.S. fans used to have to wait patiently for new Japanese series to (legally) hit American shores, thanks to streaming services like Crunchyroll and Hulu, most of them are available for your viewing pleasure right now.

To be honest I expected a lot from Jormungand’s second season, Jormungand: Perfect Order. Sadly it didn't deliver what I've expected just like many other anime (or movie) sequels out there.

English version of Eir Aoi's 'Ignite', the first opening of 'Sword Art Online II', arranged & performed by Dima Lancaster.

Basicaly today was the premiere of the first recap movie in Japan and it was announced that the second season of the anime, earlier revealed to be in early pre-production, will be broadcasted in 2016.

Knights of Sidonia returns to Japanese TV's Animeism block in Spring 2015 for Battle for Planet Nine. This second season is packaged with the promise of a bit of the original sci-fi manga author Tsutomu Nihei's earlier cyber-horror series Blame!, set to appear as a show-within-a-show in the eighth episode.

Many people are cosplaying as anime characters nowadays, but not many succeed or take it to the level where you can say that the character came to our world.

Japanese anime blogs have begun posting early news of a Tokyo Ghoul Carnaval smartphone game, reportedly coming from Bandai Namco this winter. The free-to-play game boasts 3D action controlled with swipe motion.

Trigger's one watchable work of animation, Little Witch Academia, was confirmed for a sequel over a year ago - and now today, that sequel is said to be releasing in 2015, although that's all we know.

Anime is simply amazing.

Alt-audience anime programming block Noitamina's announcement of a Punchline anime has been accompanied by a preview of the spring 2015 TV series. 

There are many character designs that I’m ecstatic about and I cannot wait for them to appear on-screen.
