"mostly agree to"?
now why should you even partly disagree when it is all based on fact?

agh...
you... people...
that's total bullshit!
if you took some time and read the site that I linked in my other post...
okay, here's a summary...

you see, in the 20's, early Japanese animators were inspired by European and American cartoons like Felix the Cat
in the beginning, all they could make were pale imitations of the real thing
fast forward, post-World-War-II
Osamu Tezuka shows up, creates anime and manga like Astro Boy and Cyborg 009
and a new age was born
fast forward again to the 80's
and the start of the anime boom begins
anime OVAs (original video animation) show up on Western shores and popularity rises
movies like AKIRA and Ghost in the Shell get a cult following
and in another decade, the anime phenomenon grew to what it is today

good times

(sorry if I seem pissed off
I'm just a tad bit annoyed >_<)
