Wish I had seen that, Akira is indeed a classic anime to use.
so i'm watching tv, and i see a commercial for a drink called absolut vodka.... in the commercial it shows a scene from akira and says "absolute anime" then i started thinking "in what other ways is anime starting to pop up in american (or even "european") culture?" (not including american or "european" anime)
one of the ways is the the fact that hailey joel osment, an actor in hollywood, was doing voicework not only for IGPX (which, in my opinion, is japanese, because only the storyline was written in america) but also for kingdom hearts too.

maybe, but america's common folk still hate anime, they make fun of Manga and anime and dont have any good reasons. it's rather sad too watch how stupid people are these days.
Common ppl here in Uk think anime n cartoon are the same which isnt. I hate those ppl who think tht.
Thanks for the siggy Ky-lyrra
In French-speaking Europe I believe there are much less things like that happening, and also there is almost no censorship, if not at all (of course it may be that some animes/mangas are not published over here but I haven't heard about that), I mean in our mindset we just don't understand how there could be a censure neither.
Anime is everywhere, several channels over here, which had primarily no relation to anime (such as music-only channels, national TV channels) have started showing Anime (however in some channels they show them mostly in the mornings, which still makes me believe they think it's only for children...).
I can't wait to find time (I'm a Sociology student) to make a sociological study of the image anime has![]()
i hate ppl who think that to othere small minded and ignorant and i bet you they have never watched proper anime in there lives. fair enough the americans do mock anime but you have to admit its easyier to get it there than it is here
