Afterburner #4 1. 2 minute L-P-J-Ts 2. 1 minute vertical leg scissors 3. 1 minute horizontal leg scissors 4. 1 minute leg helicopters 5. 1 minute one-arm push-ups (alternate arms on command to SWITCH) (Note: round trip cardio sprints are assigned to each individual on a rotating basis throughout Afterburner #4. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Horizontal Leg Scissors Horizontal leg scissors help strengthen the groin, hip, and abdominal muscles. Lay flat on your back and raise your legs together about 2" off the floor. Spread the legs as far apart as possible. Swing the right leg to the far left while swinging the left leg to the far right under the right leg. For the next alternation, drop the right leg slightly so the left leg passes over it. Repeat the movements at high tempo keeping the legs straight. Do not let the knees bend. The lower leg should be about kept about 2" off the floor during the drill. Helicopters Leg helicopters help strengthen the groin, hip, and abdominal muscles. Lay flat on your back, put your hands under your bottom for support. Keep both legs together and raise them about 2" off the floor. Swing both legs to the far right and rotate them continuously in a counter-clockwise circular motion. The bottom of the circle should be maintained about 2" off the floor. Keep the legs together and do not let the knees bend. Try to keep the body in a horizontal plane flat on the floor. The direction of rotation is changed by the command SWITCH. The drill name "helicopter" is derived from the motion of the main rotor of a helicopter. Pillboxes Pillboxes help improve balance and strengthen the legs and hip muscles. Drop into a Cossack low squat with arms folded in front and "fire" out a right kick followed by a left kick. Remain in the squat, pivot 90° to the right and repeat the kicks. Continue pivoting and kicking every 90° in a clockwise circular movement. Try to maintain the original pivot point during the drill. Do not "wander" all over the place. Repeat the movements at high tempo. A single pillbox covers 360°. The drill name "pillbox" is derived from the German circular machine gun implacements used during WWII. Cardio Sprints with obstacles Cardio sprints with obstacles help improve cardio performance and strengthen the legs. For indoor drills, use blue paint masking tape to mark each end of the sprint course. Place orange safety cones at intervals down the center of the course. Have the participants perform sprint circuits as fast as possible around the cones. L-P-J-Ts L-J-P-Ts (Lunge /Pillbox/Jumping jack /Thrust with pushup/clap/yell) are an excellent cardio drill to improve balance as well as strengthen the legs and arms. Start with the feet together and arms at sides. Perform a right forward lunge followed by a left forward lunge. Drop into a low Cossack squat with arms folded over each other in front and perform a single pillbox. Leap up into the vertical position and perform a single jumping jack. Drop down and "fire" out into a rear leg thrust with feet together and hands about shoulder width. While in the down position, perform a single pushup with clap /yell. Leap back into the starting position and repeat the movements at high tempo. Make sure to shoot the lunges, kicks, and thrusts out at high velocity. Transitions between positions should be performed crisply and as rapidly as possible. (Less)

The first thing we are going to do is remove the tail lights. We will start on the passenger side then work our way over to the driver side. To remove the tail light we have to push down on this pin and pull the connector out. We will go ahead and do the same thing for the other side. The next thing we need to do is to remove this trim panel here. There are 3 of these latches we have to remove all the way across from left to right. Once we have those 3 latches removed we can now take off this back part of trim panel. You have to pry it out and lift it up at the same time and it will come loose. Now at this point we need to pull this panel away. We do not have to take it out but we need access to get our hands in there to reach the other side of the wiring harness. Watch your hands there are some wires connected to the panel and if you pull too hard you will rip those wires right out. Thats all you need right there to get your hands in there. Might want to get something to pry it open a little more while you keep your hands in there and thats about it. Going back to the passenger side we need to take off the cover panel for the spare tire tools. Also take out the tools so that we have just a little more room to reach the back. Starting off with the driver side we are going to take the yellow and blue wires and feed them up and pull them through the top hole. Then the tail lights will actually connect there. Now we need to run our wire down and out of the way. The next step we need to go back to the passenger side and run those lights. It is going to red for brake lights and green for running lights. What you do sneak these wires down under the panel down towards the bottom towards the converter box and 4 pole flat. The rest we can just store back in there. Now we need to run this wire up and through the plastic here. Then it can come out by the tail light and make our connection. The remaining wires we are going to tuck behind the plastic here and out of the way of the jack tools. Now you want to keep this box on the inside and we are going to run the ground wire. You want to find something thats kind of laminated in between 2 pieces of metal. So that you have more metal to run your attachment point into. What we are going to do is drill our ground point through these 2 pieces of metal here. Then we will sneak all this wire up behind it and pull it up to the hole. We are still going to take our box here and tuck it near the bottom. On a flat spot you can actually use adhesive to hold it into place. Then put it as far to the bottom as possible. Now we will pull out our 4-pole bundle and pull them out of the way. Now we can reinstall our jack tools and make sure everything fits. While we are here you can shut this panel and then drape the harness over the edge of the bumper. We will cover that in a little more detail later. At this point we go back and start assembling our plastic components. Go ahead and push this component back into place then we will put our tracking back down. Now we can put our tail lights back together. We will start with the passenger side. Right now our install is basically complete. We will now show you how to use the harness when your plugged into the trailer. You will have the harness pulled out and draped over the back of the bumper like so. Now shut the tailgate and as you notice there is plenty of room under there with a seal. You can go ahead and pull the harness out for as much as you need. There you have it for the install of part number 118304. Which is T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness from Tow Ready. Installed on a 2008 on a Toyota Sienna Mini Van. Videos are provided as a guide only.

Description: If you are planning to tow a boat or trailer with your MDX you will need a wiring harness to power the trailers lights and turn signals. Luckily we have a custom made wiring harness just for the MDX. (More) If you are planning to tow a boat or trailer with your MDX you will need a wiring harness to power the trailers lights and turn signals. Luckily we have a custom made wiring harness just for the MDX. This harness provides a flat four pole plug for the trailer and quickly plugs into the waiting tow package port on the MDX. When you are not towing anything the plug is stored in the jack storage compartment keeping it safe from the elements and road debris. Watch this quick video we prepared to get an even better idea on what you need to do to get ready to tow. To begin our install, we have to get inside the vehicle and open up the rear hatch and open up a few panels. First we will take this panel off which pops off. We need to get below this and we will set that back, we need to take this panel off and get this out of our way. We need to get behind this carpet here, so this threshold needs to come off. This here simply pops off. Just a little finger pressure, work your way back and forth and it will come apart. Now we can move our carpet out of the way and that will give us extra working room. We need to plug in our harness and it is going to go into this slot right here on the panel. We need to drop this from underneath, back up and in. Now we need to mount our converter box here, somewhere that is out of the way on top of this plastic would be just fine. So we will clean that off and install it. We will use our double sided tape. We are going to route our existing ground wire, from the box underneath the carpet to an existing ground lug that is installed in the body right here. Now we have the ground ready to go, we basically need to put the vehicle back together. So put the liner back in, the threshold, the cover, then finally the panel. Our wiring harness gets stored behind the jack tools when you are not using it. When you do need to use it you simply pull it out, re-install the jack door and pull over the threshold and to the outside. When you are ready to use the harness just shut the door on it, the seal is so thick it will not hurt anything. Now pull out as much length as you need. That pretty much will take care of your install. That covers the install of part # 118424 on our 2007 Acura MDX. Videos are provided as a guide only.

Katy: Isn't it obvious?!? Sallie: Kevin! Andrea: Shut up! Both of you! It's not like you don't have a crush on Joe, Katy! Katy: Actually...*sighs* I don't think I like him that way. I mean, he would probably make a really great friend, but nothing more. Sallie: Poor Joe... With the band: Jack: Is everyone ready? Kevin: Yeah. I think so. How much time do we have 'til we're on? Garbo: An hour and a half. Nick: Let's go chill with the girls then... They all walk back to the room the girls are in and walk in. Frankie: Hey guys... The band goes and gets drinks and sits down on the couches and the chairs. Garbo: So, what's your impression of the band so far? Andrea: You're all, um, a great bunch of boys... Katy: Yeah, very down to earth. Sallie: And your music is great. Joe: Yeah, thanks. They all talked about random stuff for thirty minutes like the weather, sports, music, etc. Kevin Sr.: *walks in* Is everyone ready? Kevin: Except for warm-ups, yes. Kevin Sr.: Okay, well, warm up your voices and whatever else and in thirty minutes I want you all behind the stage. Nick: Yes, sir! Kevin Sr.: *walks out* The girls and Frankie just watch as the boys go through some of the songs with the guitars and warm up their voices. After thirty minutes: Kevin: Well, girls...We're off now, so we'll see you after the show. You guys in the front row? Andrea: Yeah. Nick: We'll look for you. Sallie: Okay. *all the girls reach for their belongings* Joe: You can just leave your stuff in here, get it after the show. Katy: Alright. Bye! The three girls leave the room and walk towards the arena. On the way, they run into Shane the bodyguard. Shane: Well, look who it is. Andrea: Hey! Shane: How are the Jonas Brother's favorite people? Katy: Hey! They don't hate us anymore! Shane: They never did. You guys just frightened them. Andrea: Nice to know. Well, we're off to our seats! Shane: I guess I'll being seeing you all after the show? Sallie: Of course! The girls walked off, and as they left Andrea turned around and saw Kevin go up to Shane. She shrugged and kept walking. They reached the arena and went to their seats in the first row. They all sit down: Sallie: I think it'll be an awesome show! Katy: Isn't it always?!? Sallie: Yeah, but now we know them! Katy: Yeah, I guess that makes it a little different. Sallie: *laughs* Yeah, just a little! Katy: *turns to Andrea* You okay there? Andrea: Yeah... Katy: You're not talking. Sallie: And that's weird. Andrea: Thanks. I just was thinking. Sallie: Ug. Andrea, you need to stop doing that. Andrea: Doing what? Sallie: Thinking! It's never good. Andrea: Oh, don't worry, it's nothing pessimistic. I was just thinking about the storm. Katy: And that's not pessimistic...? Andrea: Not really. Anyways... Sallie: Wha- Jonas Brothers: We're the Kids! We're the Kids! Crowd: *starts cheering* Girls: *yell and forget about their worries* After "Kids of the Future" they play "Just Friends" and "Goodnight and Goodbye". Kevin: What's up Georgia?!? Crowd: *cheers loudly* Kevin: We are the Jonas Brothers and we are so excited to be here another day! I'm Kevin Jonas! Joe: I'm Joe Jonas! Nick: What's up!?! I'm Nick Jonas! Joe: How many of ya'll were here yesterday?!? Crowd: *goes wildly* Nick: Good!!! Well, hope you enjoy this concert just as much! Kevin: Oh, and for security measure, we've been told to tell everyone what to do just in case this storm hits early. If the storm hits and the power goes out, we're going to need everyone to stay where they are and remain calm. This arena has a backup generator and once it starts up, someone will come onstage and give further instructions. Joe: On a happier note, let's rock!!! Next, they play "Australia" followed by "Inseparable", "That's Just the Way We Roll", and "When You Look Me in the Eyes". Joe: Next, we have a little song that requires a few girls up here! Andrea, Katy, and Sallie: *cheer loudly* Andrea: *sees Shane approaching them and elbows the other two* Shane: Special request from the boys. Come on. Sallie: *squeals* They follow Shane to the steps, but before the boys help them up onto the stage, Andrea hands her camera to Shane. Shane: Sure. Andrea: Thanks! After being helped up, they're led to three stools on the center of the stage. They began to play "Hello Beautiful" and during the song, Kevin played the guitar near Andrea and Nick and Joe sang to Sallie and Katy, respectively. Suddenly, during the middle of the song, everyone heard a big blast outside and the lights shut off. (Less)

For the oleo-resin, see Animé (oleo-resin). Anime (アニメ, Anime? IPA pronunciation: /ɑnime/ listen (help·info) in Japanese, but typically /ˈænɪˌme(ɪ)/ or /ˈænɪmə/ in English) (pl. anime) is an abbreviation of the word "animation". Outside Japan, the term most popularly refers to animation originating in Japan. To the West, not all animation is considered anime; and anime is considered a subset of animation. While some anime is hand drawn, computer assisted animation techniques have become quite common in recent years. Like any entertainment medium, the story lines represent most major genres of fiction. Anime is broadcast on television, distributed on media such as DVD and VHS, and included in video games. Additionally, some are produced as full length motion pictures. Anime often draws influence from manga, light novels, and other cultures. Some anime storylines have been adapted into live action films and television series. History Main article: History of anime The history of anime begins at the start of the 20th century, when Japanese filmmakers experimented with the animation techniques that were being explored in France, Germany, the United States, and Russia.[citation needed] Animation became notable in Japan as it provided an alternative format of storytelling compared to the underdeveloped live-action industry in Japan. Unlike America, where live-action shows and films have generous budgets, the live-action industry in Japan is a small market and suffered from budgeting, location, and casting restrictions. The lack of Western-looking actors, for example, made it next to impossible to shoot films set in Europe, America, or fantasy worlds that do not naturally involve Japan. The varied use of animation allowed artists to create any characters and settings.[1] During the 1970s, there was a surge of growth in the popularity of manga— which were often later animated — especially those of Osamu Tezuka, who has been called a "legend"[2] and the "god of manga".[3][4] As a result of his work and that of other pioneers in the field, anime developed characteristics and genres that are fundamental elements of the art today. The giant robot genre (known as "mecha" outside Japan), for instance, took shape under Tezuka, developed under Go Nagai and others, and was revolutionized at the end of the decade by Yoshiyuki Tomino. Robot anime like Gundam and Macross became instant classics in the 80s, and the robot genre of anime is still one of the most heard of in Japan and worldwide today. In the 1980s, anime was accepted in the mainstream in Japan, and experienced a boom in production (It should be noticed that, manga has significantly more mainstream exposure than anime in Japan). The mid-to-late '90s, on into the 2000s, saw an increased acceptance of anime in overseas markets. Terminology Etymology and pronunciation Note: This page or section contains IPA phonetic symbols in Unicode. See IPA chart for English for a pronunciation key. The Japanese term for animation is アニメーション (animēshon, pronounced /ɑnime:ɕoɴ/), written in katakana. It is borrowed from the French word for animation, "l'animé" (it's lacking the article--both are pronounced similarly). Both the words "animation" and "l'animé" come from the Latin word "anima" which means to move. [5] The Japanese term is spelled アニメ (anime, pronounced /ɑnime/). Both the original and abbreviated forms are valid and interchangeable in Japanese, but as could be expected the shorter form is more commonly used. The pronunciation of anime in English differs significantly from Japanese. The first vowel is further forward in English than Japanese: /æ/ is more likely than /ɑ/. As English stresses words differently than Japanese, the second vowel is likely to emerge as an unstressed schwa /ə/ or /I/ in English, whereas in Japanese each mora carries equal stress. As with a few other Japanese words such as Pokémon and Kobo Abé, anime is sometimes spelled as animé in English with an acute accent over the final e to cue the reader that the letter is pronounced as a Japanese /e/. However, this accent does not appear in any commonly used system of romanized Japanese, and English native speakers may produce /eI/. Definition An example of an anime drawing styleLinguistically, the anime definition is subject to interpretation. In Japan, the term does not specify an animation's nation of origin or style; instead, it is used as a blanket term to refer to all forms of animation from around the world.[6] In English, main dictionary sources define anime as "a Japanese style of motion-picture animation" or "a style of animation developed in Japan".[7] Thus, non-Japanese works are sometimes called anime-influenced animation if they borrow stylistically from Japanese animation. In western countries the word is used usually only to refer to animated programming of Japanese origin, with the term "cartoon" or "animated series" used for most other visual styles. The online anime database AniDB generally defines anime (in the singular form) as "an animated, professionally produced, feature film created by a Japanese company for the Japanese market".[6] However, some anime are co-productions with non-Japanese companies like the Cartoon Network. Thus, anime is no longer specific to the Japanese market. Syntax and morphology Anime can be used as a common noun, "Do you watch anime?" or as a suppletive adjective, "The anime Guyver is different from the movie Guyver." It may also be used as a mass noun, as in "How much anime have you collected?" and therefore is never pluralized "animes" (nouns are never pluralized in Japanese). However, in other languages where anime has been adopted as a loan word, it is sometimes used as a count noun in singular and in plural as in Danish "Jeg tror, jeg vil se en anime" ("I think I'll watch an anime") and "Hvor mange anime'er har du nu?" ("How many animes do you have now?"). Synonyms Anime is sometimes referred to as Japanimation, but this term has fallen into disuse. Japanimation saw the most usage during the 1970s and 1980s, which broadly comprise the first and second waves of anime fandom, and had continued use up until before the mid-1990s anime resurgence. In general, the term now only appears in nostalgic contexts. The term is much more commonly used within Japan to refer to domestic animation. Since anime or animēshon is used to describe all forms of animation, Japanimation is used to distinguish Japanese work from that of the rest of the world. In more recent years, anime has also frequently been referred to as manga in European countries, a practice that may stem from the Japanese usage: In Japan, manga can refer to both animation and comics (although the use of manga to refer to animation is mostly restricted to non-fans). Among English speakers, manga usually has the stricter meaning of "Japanese comics". An alternate explanation is that it is due to the prominence of Manga Entertainment, a distributor of anime to the US and UK markets. Because Manga Entertainment originated in the UK the use of the term is common outside of Japan. The portmanteau "animanga" has been used to collectively refer to anime and manga, though it is also a term used to describe comics produced from animation cels. Characteristics Dragon Ball Z (1989) is a popular shōnen anime based on the original manga series which spanned 291 episodes and 13 movies.Anime features a wide variety of artistic styles. They vary from artist to artist or by studio to studio. They are generally characterized by detailed backgrounds and stylized characters in a variety of different settings and storylines, aimed at a wide range of audiences. It is usually coloured and designed to look as realistic as possible. Unlike Manga, which uses slightly exaggerated colours and designs. But, anime fantasy creatures, (e.g witches, spirits etc.) can have exaggerated facial and physical features. But, they will always be designed to look as realistic as possible, and bright colours would be rarely used unless needed to. Genres Anime has many genres typically found in any mass media form. Such genres include action, adventure, children's stories, comedy, drama, erotica (hentai), medieval fantasy, occult/horror, romance, and science fiction. Most anime includes content from several different genres, as well as a variety of thematic elements. Thus, some series may be categorized under multiple genres. For example, Neon Genesis Evangelion might be considered to fall into the genres of post-apocalyptic, mecha, drama, and shonen-ai. A show may have a seemingly simple surface plot, but at the same time may feature a far more complex, deeper storyline and character development. It is not uncommon for an action themed anime to also involve humor, romance, and even social commentary. The same can be applied to a romance themed anime in that it may involve an action element, or in some cases brutal violence. The following is a list of the major genres and designations that are specific to anime and manga.[8] For other possible genres, see film genre. Genres with Western Counterparts: Action/Adventure: Anime that primarily focuses on martial arts, sword fighting, or other action oriented material. Examples: Ninja Scroll. Horror: Anime or manga which contains darker themes or science-fictional characters. Examples: Vampire Hunter D series or Wicked City. Progressive: "Art films" or extremely stylized anime. Examples: Voices of a Distant Star or Byōsoku 5 Centimetre. Demographic Genres: Shōjo: Japanese for 'young lady' or 'little girl'. Refers to anime or manga targeted at girls. Examples: Fruits Basket or Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch. Shōnen: Japanese for 'young boy'. Refers to anime or manga targeted at younger boys. Examples: Dragon Ball Z or Digimon. Seinen: Japanese for 'young man'. Anime or manga targeted at teenage or young male adults. Examples: Oh My Goddess!, Outlaw Star or Cowboy Bebop. Josei: Japanese for 'young woman'. Anime or manga that is aimed at young women. Examples: Gokusen. Kodomo: Japanese for 'child'. Anime or manga that is aimed at young children. Examples: Doraemon, Hello Kitty, Keroppi, Pokémon or Panda-Z. Thematic Genres Bishōjo: Japanese for 'beautiful girl'. A blanket term that can be used to describe any anime that features pretty girl characters. Examples: Magic Knight Rayearth. Bishōnen: Japanese for 'beautiful boy'.

It is more often than not a Shonen Anime and may be considered a sub-genre. Examples: Ranma ½ or Love Hina.

It is more often than not a Shojo Anime and may be considered a sub-genre. Examples: Ouran Host Club or Fruits Basket. Ecchi: Japanese for 'indecent sexuality', derived from the pronunciation of the letter 'H', (the origin of the term is not well known, even in Japan. See main article for more information.) Contains sexual humor, and some fan service. Examples: Love Hina, Oruchuban Ebichu or He Is My Master. Hentai: Japanese for 'abnormal' or 'perverted'.

Examples: La Blue Girl or "Bible Black". Shōjo-ai/Yuri: Japanese for 'girl-love'. Refers to anime or manga that focus on love and romance between female characters. It is often being replaced by the term "Girls Love" (GL). Yuri is like Shōjo-ai, but sometimes involves older characters or explicit sexual activity. Examples: Revolutionary Girl Utena or Kannazuki no Miko. Shōnen-ai: Japanese for 'boy-love'. Refers to anime or manga that focus on love and romance between male characters. The term "Shōnen-ai" is being phased out in Japan due to its other meaning of pederasty, and is being replaced by the term "Boys Love" (BL). Examples: Loveless, Gravitation Yaoi: Like "Shōnen-ai" but often involving older characters and explicit sexual activity. Examples: "Sensitive Pornograph" Some anime titles are written for a very specific audience, even narrower than those described above. For example, Initial D, Wangan Midnight and éX-Driver concern street racing and car tuning. Ashita No Joe, Hajime no Ippo were about boxing. Hanaukyo Maid Team is based on the French maid fantasy. Style While different titles and different artists have their own artistic styles, many stylistic elements have become so common such that they are described as being definitive of anime in general. These elements have been given names of their own. The anime drawing style can be learned, particularly with the aid of books such as How to Draw Manga. Such books come complete with information and instructions on the styles used in anime. A common approach is the large eyes style drawn on many anime and manga characters, credited to the influence of Osamu Tezuka, who was inspired by the exaggerated features of American cartoon characters such as Betty Boop and Mickey Mouse and from Disney's Bambi. Tezuka found that large eyes style allowed his characters to show emotions distinctly. Cultural anthropologist Matt Thorn argues that Japanese animators and audiences do not perceive such stylized eyes as inherently more or less foreign.[1] When Tezuka began drawing Ribbon no Kishi, the first manga specifically targeted at young girls, Tezuka further exaggerated the size of the characters' eyes. Indeed, through Ribbon no Kishi, Tezuka set a stylistic template that later shōjo artists tended to follow. Another variation of this style is "super deformed"; which usually feature huge eyes, an enlarged head, and small body. Other stylistic elements are common as well; often in comedic anime, characters that are shocked or surprised will perform a "face fault", in which they display an extremely exaggerated expression. Angry characters may exhibit a "vein" or "stressmark" effect, where lines representing bulging veins will appear on their forehead. Angry women will sometimes summon a mallet from nowhere and strike someone with it, leading to the concept of Hammerspace and cartoon physics. Male characters will develop a bloody nose around their female love interests (typically to indicate arousal, based on an old wives' tale).[9] Embarrassed characters will invariably produce a massive sweat-drop, which has become one of the most widely recognized stereotype motifs of anime. The degree of stylization varies from title to title. Some titles make extensive use of common stylization: FLCL, for example, is known for its wild, exaggerated stylization. In contrast, titles such as Only Yesterday, a film by Isao Takahata, take a much more realistic approach, and feature few stylistic exaggerations. Distribution Licensing Main article: Anime licensing Anime is available outside of Japan in localized form. Licensed anime is modified by distributors through dubbing into the language of the country. The anime may also be edited to alter cultural references that may not be understood by a non-Japanese person and certain companies may remove what may be perceived as objectionable content. This process was far more common in the past (e.g. One Piece), when anime was largely unheard of in the west, but its use has declined in recent years because of the demand for anime in its original form. This "light touch" approach to localization has proved popular with fans as well as viewers formerly unfamiliar with anime. The popularity of such methods is evident by the success of Naruto, Dragon Ball Z, and Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block, both of which employ minor edits. The "light touch" approach also applies to DVD releases as they often include both the dubbed audio and the original Japanese audio with subtitles, are typically unedited. Anime edited for television is usually released on DVD "uncut," with all scenes intact. Anime has also been a commercial success in Asia, Europe and Latin America, where anime has become even more mainstream than in the United States. For example, the Saint Seiya video game was released in Europe due to the popularity of the show even years after the series has been off-air. Fansubs Main article: Fansub Although it is a violation of copyright laws in many countries, some fans watch fansubs, recordings of anime series that have been subtitled by fans. Watching subtitled Japanese versions, though not necessarily downloaded fansubs, is seen by many enthusiasts as the preferred method of watching anime. The ethical implications of producing, distributing, or watching fansubs are topics of much controversy even when fansub groups do not profit from their activities and cease distribution of their work once the series has been licensed outside of Japan. Television TV networks regularly broadcast anime programming. Cable channels such as Cartoon Network, Disney, Sci-Fi, and others dedicate some of their time slots for anime. Then the Anime Network specifically shows anime. In Japan, major national TV networks broadcast anime regularly. Anime beyond Japan Early anime in the United States The United States saw its first exposure to anime in June of 1961, when Shônen Sarutobi Sasuke (Magic Boy) was released by MGM, followed a few weeks later by Hakuja den (Panda and the Magic Serpent, or The Tale of the White Serpent). Anime then got its running jump in September of 1963, when NBC syndicated a dubbed version of the Japanese series Astro Boy. Not counting such Japanese/American co-productions as The King Kong Show and Johnny Cypher in Dimension Zero[1], only seven more anime TV series were released in the United States in the 1960s. These were 8 Man (1965), Gigantor (1966), Kimba the White Lion (1966), Prince Planet (1966), Marine Boy (1966), The Amazing 3 (1967) and Speed Racer (1967). Speed Racer would be the last anime series released in the United States until 1978 when the 1972 series Kagaku ninja tai Gatchaman was adapted for American audiences as Battle of the Planets.[10] Many anime series that made it to American television from the 1960s through the 1980s tended to be science fiction or action-oriented, such as Star Blazers (the English dub of Space Battleship Yamato) and Robotech and Voltron (both Americanized amalgamations of unrelated anime series cobbled together into a single story). As the 1980s wore on, more anime series and films targeted at very young children also found their way to U.S. TV screens, often on cable television channels or in syndication. Nickelodeon broadcast many mostly Canadian-made English dubs of anime films during its early years, including TV series such as Mysterious Cities of Gold, Adventures of the Little Koala, Belle and Sebastian, The Adventures of the Little Prince, Noozles, Maya the Bee, Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics, and The Littl' Bits, many of which were aired on "Nick Jr.", the network's block of programming for very young viewers. The Disney Channel broadcast both of the feature-length anime films starring Osamu Tezuka's famous unicorn character Unico, and CBN redubbed and broadcast its Bible-based anime TV series co-produced with Tatsunoko, Superbook and The Flying House. HBO also showed juvenile-targeted anime on occasion, including TV series such as Tales of Little Women, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and Saban's Adventures of Pinocchio and feature films such as Gisaburo Sugii's 1974 Jack and the Beanstalk. A great many anime films and feature-length TV series compilations were also released direct-to-video in the U.S., and were often available for rental at mainstream video stores. Some titles which were distributed in the U.S. in this fashion included Candy Candy, Captain Future, Angel, Serendipity the Pink Dragon, Taro the Dragon Boy, Robby the Rascal (Cybot Robotchi), and Ninja the Wonder Boy (Manga Sarutobi Sasuke). For the most part, though, these TV series and films were not actively promoted as being of Japanese origin; in fact, many of them went so far as to remove most or all Japanese names from the credits except for credits to the animation studios. In the series themselves, character names were often changed and Japanese cultural references removed to make them more accessible to English-speaking audiences, such as Genshi being changed to Flint in Space-Time Detective Genshi-kun. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, this trend began to change as more openly Japanese works, such as Sailor Moon, Gundam Wing, Pokémon, Dragon Ball Z, Digimon, and Yu-Gi-Oh! achieved mainstream popularity on American television. Although many of these shows did undergo some kind of "Americanization" in the form of character name changes and edits for violence, language, and the occasional nudity, viewers were more aware of the shows' country of origin, which might perhaps pique their curiosity to seek out other works in a similar style. Current reception in the United States AnimeNation's John Oppliger had this to say on the matter: The support for anime among American anime fans is very strong. The availability of anime in America is truly impressive, especially within the anime fan community. Awareness of Japanese animation in America is at an all time high. However, mainstream acceptance of anime in America lags far behind the advances anime has made in other respects. A close examination of the support for anime on American television may provide a revealing and realistic gauge of the actual penetration of anime into America and American culture. Anime may seem like it's tremendously successful in America because its high profile, but the facts tell another story. According to AC Nielsen, Pixar's The Incredibles sold 16 million copies on DVD in America last year. Shark Tale sold nearly 10 million copies. Even the DVD release of Bambi sold 6 million copies in 2005. In comparison, all four Inuyasha movies combined have sold just over 1 million copies in the past year and a half. Evidently, the success of anime in America is very relative. American anime fans are very devoted. Through underground means hardcore American fans now have access to brand new Japanese anime before even many Japanese residents do. America's anime fan community is influential because it's affluent, intelligent, and motivated; but it's not very large.[11] Despite assessments like that, and its rare and limited release in American theaters, anime's legitimacy and respect in North America has grown well enough to garner major native artistic awards such as the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature in 2002 for Spirited Away by Hayao Miyazaki. Anime has a dedicated fan following in English speaking countries, particularly active on the internet, and at conventions regularly held throughout the US and UK. Commercial appeal Anime has become commercially profitable in western countries as early commercially successful western adaptations of anime, such as Astro Boy, have revealed.[12] The phenomenal success of Nintendo's multi-billion dollar Pokémon franchise[13] was helped greatly by the spin-off anime series that, first broadcast in the late 1990s, is still running worldwide to this day. Influence on Western culture Western Animation Main article: Anime-influenced animation Anime-influenced animation refers to non-Japanese works of animation that emulate the visual style of anime. Though most of these works are created by and primarily shown in the United States, many also involve production studios from Europe and non-Japanese Asia. These generally adapted anime stylizations and anime methods described in anime physics into their own. Such examples exist in Totally Spies!, The Boondocks, W.I.T.C.H. and Megas XLR. In addition, works such as Avatar: The Last Airbender features Asian themes. While these examples are not considered anime by the fanbase majority, they are best noted for being "influenced by anime". Conventions Main article: Anime convention Fan-based conventions have long existed. Conventions for anime began to appear in the early 1990's, starting with Anime Expo, Animethon, Otakon, and JACON. Eventually, anime conventions are held annually in various cities across the United States, Canada, and Europe. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anime (Less)
