i see a lot of you with anime avatars, and i just wanna hear: what's your favorite new show? how'd you get into it? or also, maybe why do you enjoy anime?

i've always been a fan, especially of the older mech shows like Mobile Suit Gundam, Stardust Memory... and Robotech. I'm huge fan of Miyazaki, and Akira is a classic.

Escaflowne another good show.

We do have some big anime fans here. In fact, there's even a social group for it.

Terminology

Japanese write the English term "animation" in katakana as アニメーション (animēshon, pronounced [animeːɕoɴ]); anime is short for this. Many sources claim that anime derives from the French phrase dessin animé,[4][19] however this is debated.[20] Japanese-speakers use both the original and abbreviated forms interchangeably, but the shorter form occurs more commonly.
The pronunciation of anime in Japanese differs significantly from the Standard English /ˈćnɪmeɪ/, which has different vowels and stress. (In Japanese each mora carries equal stress.) As with a few other Japanese words such as saké, Pokémon, and Kobo Abé, English-language texts sometimes spell anime as animé (as in French), with an acute accent over the final e, to cue the reader to pronounce the letter, not to leave it silent as English orthography might suggest.
