In the beginning, there was Hollywood and Philippine Cinema. Other than those two there really wasn't anything else worth watching on TV. Well that was until I discovered Anime. Actually, anime has been around for quite some time, I just never took much notice of it, thanks in part to English and Filipino dubbing.
Three years ago, I found a job in a Japanese-owned software development firm where I met fans and fanatics of the genre. It was there that my eyes were opened to the wonderful world of Anime; a world that is real and surreal, violent and peaceful, where science and reality meet fantasy and fiction; an experience beyond Hollywood. From distant galaxies to next door neighbors, from adrenalin-pumping action to tear-jerking drama, anything goes in the world of Anime, a world where the impossible is an everyday thing.
Anime captures the perfect blend of emotion, artistry, creativity and imagination of the Japanese as no other entertainment media can. If you ever need a break, then escape to a world of imagination and excitement, feel the emotion, live the moments. Relax, watch an Anime.
