I have loved comics all my life. Loved the superheros, like Superman, The Flash,Green Lantern, Wonderwoman, Which is all DC. Later got into Marvel, and went to a comic book store one day and discovered TOP COW and Dark Horse Comics. Like Most, I got into Manga and Anime much later.. But there was a time when I came into a lot of money, and went crazy with a place in Japantown, that sold Anime. I bought a lot of anime, that was not being shown here in the states..though later the Cartoon Network starting showing Inuyasha, and Naruto...and many of the titles above. People on the internet started to finally catch up with many great Japanese anime series, that were being shown on free Anime websites. You could go though and watch what people recommended or find one that interested you.

Manga and Anime are really for all ages. I have heard stories of Seniors riding the train in Tokyo and reading their favorite manga that they picked up on the way to the train station. Its a shame that the attitude in this country is, that only kids and stupid adults read comic books. They are not only an art form but share great stories.

I loved Inuyasha (dog demon)

I have to include the ending credits of Inuyasha, as the song is beautiful and so very Japanese

Another popular anime was LOVE HINA

One anime not shown in the US is my all time favorite, called KAMICHU! which shows a lot of influence from Japanese Shinto.

Another popular anime in Japan was Onegai Teacher which was shown on the Cartoon Network. It also had a product placement for Pocky, a confectionery treat that became popular in the USA, soon after.
