Please tell me about ANIME?What is ANIME?Describe breifly?

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 subset of animation.

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, United States and Russia.

Animation became popular 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 movies 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 Asians. The varied use of animation allowed artists to create characters and settings that did not look Japanese at all.

During the 1970s, there was a surge of growth in the popularity of manga comics — which were often later animated — especially those of Osamu Tezuka, who has been called a "legend" and the "god of manga".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 popular 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.

The Holy Temple was ransacked by the bad guys, the Jews took up arms and fought the bad guys, the Jews won even though they were highly outnumbered. There was only enough kosher olive oil to keep the eternal light lit for one day, yet it takes eight days to manufacture the stuff. The one day's worth of olive oil lasted for 8 days, giving the Jews time enough to make more to keep the eternal light lit. Hanukkah is a relatively unimportant holiday (when compared to many of the others), yet it is a commandment to light the Hanukkah Menorah every evening and to remember the story of the eternal light. Some think that Hanukkah is such a big deal so that the little Jewish kids won't feel left out of something grand as the Christian kids celebrate Christmas, which is quite an important Christian holiday.
