Anime Fun fact

First things first though, the word "Anime" is French and it means "Animation", and is actually when comics, or "Manga", is turned into a Japanese cartoon. Anime began when shows like Mickey Mouse, and BettyBoop started in America. This may seem shocking, but on average, it only takes the Japanese twenty minutes to read three hundred pages of Manga! Often known for it's stunning artwork and innovative and unique style, anime can go above and beyond the best that Disney has to offer. Manga forms one whole third of all the printed material in Japan. In Japan, over forty new Anime shows appear per week.
