Japanese Anime: America
built 290 days ago
The popularity of Japanese anime has exploded in recent years. Not long ago, it was considered a "cult" obsession, to be found in odd nooks and crannies of too-hip places. When Sailor Moon, the series about a 14-year-old schoolgirl who is ... a reincarnation of the Moon Princess, debuted in America in 1995, its impact was felt far beyond the target audience of young girls. There are now millions of web sites dedicated to Sailor Moon alone, and many hundreds of other series, each with its own exponential fan base.
