anime

1. Japanese animation.

2. Yet another thing that americans managed to completely fuck up, resulting in poor translations, unnecessary censorship, horrible dubbing, and people who don't know any better hating Japan for it.
Cartoon Network and 4Kids are mostly responsible for the godawful anime that plays in the US.

anime smiley

An electronic form of expressions in which faces such as ^_^ are used by using a dash, hyphen or period for the mouth and a wide variety of characters for the eyes.

The faces can range from happy to surprised and it is most commonly used by anime fans. All of them exaggerates in facial expressions as most anime shows do.

A brief list of expressions include:
^_^ = Happy
O_O = Shocked or surprised
^o^ = Laughing
@_@ = Confused
-.- = Sad, disappointed or embarrassment
-.-* = Angry
O.o = Raising eyebrow.
oO_Oo = Blushing.

These, are only many of the hundreds of possible expressions you could find and create.

Anime Nosebleed

An anime nosebleed is when an anime character or someone in real life gets a nosebleed due to seeing something sexual. Whilst this doesn't happen as much in real life, it is possible, because seeing something can lead to a raise in blood pressure, which can cause a nosebleed.

anime

Unlike American cartoons, anime usually has one episode connecting to the next. This would give allowance for a story that is long and can express a good plot and elaborate on characters.

In American society, long-term stories are usually given to shows like Lost, Flashforward, and The Event.

Anime is long-term stories that are cartoons, and are usually cheaper to make.

There are good and bad ones, ones that are horrible at plot and characters, and ones that are good at plot and characters, just like American shows.

A great number of animes are based off of Japanese Comics (a.k.a. Manga).

In short, not all anime is gay and not all are awesome either. You have to dig for the good ones, and then BAM you have something to spice up your boring, monotonous home life when you've had enough of going outside, or can't go outside, or are worn out from studying, etc. Heck, it makes waiting for texts easier.

Of course, like anything, there are addicts... and anime isn't necessarily a good thing to be addicted with, especially if it gets in the way of your life.
Animes that easily appeal to the masses are: Death Note (psychological thriller), ToraDora (about growing up), Code Geass (about war and injustice).

If you can handle the movie Saw and want to get mind blown like Inception, watch Higurashi.

A safe site to watch anime on is Anilinkz, and there are some other sites too. Animeshippuuden is an unsafe site.

Albert: Did you watch Death Note?
Bob: Yeah, it's cool how even though they are so close to each other that they can even shake hands, if one figures out the true identity of the other through wits and smart talking, the other is dead.
