Japanese anime

Are you a Japanese anime lover?
Do you know what “anime” means?

Anime is the Japanese word for cartoons, and is used in the United States to refer to the incredible variety of cartoons coming out of Japan.
It is a hard to decide where to begin, because there are so many anime series and movies out there. Some of the most popular anime series and movies are listed below; these represent a great starting point.
One of my favorites has to be the Tenchi! It is one of those anime, which will make you laugh and smile as the story progresses. It is one of the lighthearted anime that just grows upon you.
Although Tenchi Muyo means something along the lines of 'No need for Tenchi', everyone wants Tenchi our hapless hero.
Tenchi inadvertently wakes a mummified demon that was imprisoned at the Masaki family shrine 700 years ago by Yosho. This demon is none other than the Space Pirate Extraordinaire, Ryoko.
The problems she causes are dwarfed by the arrival of Jurai Princesses Ayeka and Sasami, bubble-brained Galactic Police Agent Miyoshi and interstellar criminal Kagato.

There are some wonderful anime movies that you can view.
One of the best in the last few years is "Spirited Away"
It is an astonishing and magical journey of a girl's self-development and discovery.
This anime won director Hayao Miyazaki an Oscar at the Academy Awards for 'Best Animated Picture'.
It is also the highest grossing film of all time in Japan. Best watched sub-titled, as there are differences in the English script, which doesn't convey the power of the original story.
Spirited Away is a spiritual journey in which Chihiro plunges into an alternate reality.
The petulant and sulky adolescent and her parents find what they think is a deserted amusement park. However Chihiro discovers they're trapped in a bathhouse where the traditional Japanese gods and sprites from all over Japan come to take a rest.
Chihiro requests a job from Yu-baba, the greedy witch who rules the baths. As she works, Chihiro's untapped qualities shine through. Through a series of experiences she learns how to live, gaining true will, turning into a lively and courageous girl.
The resolve, bravery, and love Chihiro discovers within herself, enables her to save herself and her parents.

One of the most engrossing anime series that have been aired in recent years is "Neon Genesis Evangelion". It pits the 'Angels' against humanity.
The first impact wiped out the dinosaurs.
The second impact devastated humanity.
A third impact would destroy humanity totally.
How can one stand against the will of God?.Battle scenes coupled with awesome classical music.
In 2000 a giant meteor strikes Antarctica, devastating the Earth. Since then, humans and the mysterious aliens known as Angels have been locked in a deadly struggle.
It is now 2015 and scientists at the NERV Center in Tokyo.
They are developing ways to combat the Angels using the Human Enhancement Project and giant robots called Evangelions.
Fourteen-year-old Shinji Ikari is a reluctant hero who is drafted to pilot Evangelion Unit 01.
Shinji, shy and socially maladroit, displays likeable warmth. Rounding out the cast is Rei Ayanami, a silent, albino pilot of Unit 00, irrepressible Misato Katsuragi, technical expert Ritsuko Akagi, and Shinji's classmates Toji Suzuhara and Kensuke Aida the Evangelions struggle against the Angels, holding fate at bay.

There are plenty of other stand-alone anime with which you can develop a great collection, and become not just a Japanese anime lover, but also a Japanese anime collector.

Anime Final Fantasy - Swords
The defining quality of the Final Fantasy series has always been its storyline. Featuring one of the most complex text-based stories of its time, Final Fantasy outdid the story of Dragon Quest, which featured the traditional plot of saving the Princess from the evil villain. Of course, the complexity of the story was nothing compared to later games, but the ambitious groundwork laid by the young Square.
BLEACH ANIME - SLICING MOON ICHIGO TENSA BANKAI SWORD
The final form of Zangetsu, named tensa Zangetsu (chains of heaven - slicing moon), is considered completely out of the ordinary for any zanpakuto. It consists of an ordinary katana (or a nodachi, as its size is about 175 cm) with a black blade, a handguard in the shape of the manji, which is the kanji for "ban" (full), and a short broken chain dangling as the blade's tassel and replacing the cloth from its released form. In addition to his sword, Ichigo's robe is replaced with a long-sleeved, ankle length black coat with red lining that is closed at his chest.
Anime - Bleach
Hailed at cons as one of the most popular shows of 2004, Bleach has gained massive acclaim in North America, perhaps even moreso than Japan. Based on the manga by Kubo Tite, the show (directed by Abe Noriyuki) tells the story of Kurosaki Ichigo, a high-school student with great spiritual power.
The Mameluke Sword
Originally, Marine Officers could wear swords of any style-as long as they were yellow-mounted. But that changed in 1805, when Lieutenant Presley O’Bannon and his Marines marched across 600 miles of North Africa’s Libyan desert to successfully storm the fortified city of Derna in Tripoli. They were there to put down Barbary Coast pirates taking a toll on American merchant ships in the Mediterranean.
Kadaj's Souba Double Bladed Final Fantasy Sword
This sword is amazing. When you first hold it you will be amazed! While you know better than to strike a tree with it, you will be very tempted. As seen in Advent Children, Kadaj's double bladed Katana is rumored to be another form of Sephiroth's Masamune, thus the blades combine length wise to form the extremely long Masamune (blades don't actually combine on this item).
