this site was created to complete a class requirement for mr. albert medalla, the kindly professor instructing cs 179.3 (webpage design) currently staffed under the department of information systems and computer sciences of the prestigious ateneo de manila institution.
the chosen subject of interest for this site is anime which us, the creators, are currently very fond of.
what is anime?
anime is a type of animation, japanese animation to be precise. it can be said it is far different from the western type of animation, cartoons, which are more geared towards children. anime, however, seems to contain some pretty adult and realistic elements which may be too blatant enough to shock and scandalize some people who are more oriented to simple cartoons, particularly worried parents. some also say anime has more detail not to mention, emotion. in the meantime, recently anime has had some considerable developments in terms of influence as it extends its popularity westwards. Spirited Away for instance has won the first ever Oscar for the newly added animation category. its sister titles, masterpieces of the renowned Hayao Miyazaki, has been hastily picked up by Disney. Animatrix was an offshoot of anime where a lot of influential anime directors took part in the project, so does Kill Bill's animated version. Hell Boy is planning to make an anime of itself. moreover, new cartoons have some "anime elemnts" integrated into them, such as Teen Titans and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles revival.
