1. Anime -- Japan
   Anime (г‚ўгѓ‹гѓЎ, see Terminology section about pronunciation) is a style of animation originating in Japan. It is sometimes referred to by the portmanteau Japanimation. Anime is characterized by stark, colorful graphics and stylized, colorful images depicting vibrant characters in a variety of different settings and story-lines, aimed at a wide range of audiences. Anime is usually influenced by Japanese comics known as manga.
2. Trigun -- Series
   Trigun is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yasuhiro Nightow with an anime adaptation. Madhouse produced the 26 anime episodes for Trigun. As of April 2007, Trigun has ended in Japan, currently spanning 102 chapters and 14 tankōbon volumes.
3. Cartoon Network -- Cartoon Network's
   When Cartoon Network still ran its CGI city look (see 2004-2006), a promo aired involving the Mayor of Townsville officially opening the Animation Station, a fictional recreational dome facility. Thus began Cartoon Network's still-running Get Animated promotion, a campaign encouraging children to get active, more importantly in outdoor areas. Created in part of the American government's goal for a more active, and generally healthier generation, other kids' channels generally aired similar promotions during this time (such as Nickelodeon's Go Healthy Challenge). Original promos involved many different cartoon characters, and real kids, enjoying physical activities inside the Animation Station. Once Cartoon Network scrapped their CGI city look the Animation Station promos were abandoned, but the Get Animated campaign still continued. Current promos still show cartoon characters playing alongside kids, though occasional sports celebrities (such as Freddie Adu) make appearances.
