Speech time!

Time for a presentation from the house of beyblader! Welcome all, please flash your tickets when I come around during the production! Yeah, so here is my speech for ya! I gotta present it tomorrow, and I haven't practiced it yet, and Surviver is on at 9:00, and yeah, so tell me what ya all think! (Yes, Cody Spence is my real name.) Today, I will present to you the story of anime, from its characters, to television shows, and even a glimpse into the ever growing anime market. Anime is originally from Japan, and has just recently made its way to North America. There are thousands of different anime, each with a special cast of characters and show characteristics. As some parents would think, anime is just a bunch of ninjas fighting each other, and robots launching spinning tops. Well, a lot of anime are space age and futuristic. With giant robots, and spiritual creatures emerging from spin tops, who would think that anime isn’t important! Well, anime just so happens to be enjoyed by parents, as well as young adults. They grab the interest of many people, and hold them, so that one day, these people who have watched and experienced the excitement and thrills of anime, begin to create their own world of characters and topics leading to more ideas and jobs. Anime range from western cowboys to space age robots. From spinning tops, to samurai’. Some 40 080 new anime emerge each year, which adds up to 40 new anime a week. Most get cut, due to lack of popularity, but some can last for up to 10 years! These are just a few of some of the most populair anime on the planet; Inuyasha, Trigon, Rurouni Kenshin, Cowboy BeBop, Hamtaro, Beyblade, Shaman King, Samurai X, Pokemon, Gundam Wing, One Piece, Naruto, Dragon Ball Z, Yu-Gi-Oh, Outlaw Star, and there are still many more. These anime are amouge the most popular because they each come from different catagories. Some are about monsters, demons, ninjas and pirates. Each has its own different story to tell. Some anime are even made into manga, a form of comic mainly read by teens. Manga are usually the seeds to some very popular anime. In a comic known as Shonan Jump, such manga as Naruto, Yu-Gi-Oh, Dragon Ball Z, Shaman King, and YuYu Hakasu have made their debuts in the world of anime. All these are now very popular, and successful anime, which continue to run in Japan, the United States and some parts of Canada. They speak in all sorts of languages, and are drawn by very talented artists. Vivid colours catch the eye of the viewer, and unique personalities intrigue the mind. These characters come in all shapes and sizes, different religions and even seem to have a mind of their own. Most anime artists must draw a hero for their anime, usually either a calm, cool, and collected adult, or a young, hyper, energetic kid. Now, with so much publicity, anime is all over the market. Anime items range from Video games, action figures, manga, VHS and DVDs, cards and other toys. Its no wonder that where ever you go, your bound to see some anime item. Whether its the newest Gundam model kit, or the Robotech super poseable action figures, people everywhere seem to be pushing it in our faces. You now have to wonder, what is anime? Is it the art, the history, the creators, the market? It is all of these things, each one holds a piece to the development and future of anime. I do not think anime will ever be destroy, or ever go away because people all over the world have their own ideas and will soon develop those ideas into new, more exciting anime. Cody Spence

Okay, how many people here are angry or just feel something about the fact that the fanart submissions are down? I am! I want to send in these new pics I drew yesterday and today, I'm so eager, but I can't!!!! Man, I can't wait! Everyone MUST go to Someguys page and read his post on some things that should change. I is an important problem, and SomeGuy is ganna stop it, so read his post! I'm ganna stand by him. You will know what I'm talking about when you read his post. I'm ganna try! Try to draw Inuyasha! Yes, I have found a good pic of his head in a Beckett Anime Collector book, and I will draw the pic of the cover! I promise to have it done and up when the submission center is up and running, as well as my first pic of Kenshin. I've also been seeing people around lately with Shoutbox's, I was wondering, do you guys want me to get one? If ya do just say so! Then we could all communicate easier! Cool!! And one more thing, NEVER go on msealsmusic.com, it has a virus on it! I was attacked yesterday and luckily escaped it with my anti- virus protection scanner! FAST FACT: Here's one I don't think ya can get! He he! What two anime have a character named Goku on them? Tough? Try now!

Apple juice!! Hyper!!

This quiz was said to be insulting, and that it is! Just read the result for Pikachu, and just so everyone knows, I drank apple juice, and now I'm hyper!! I did not try and get Pikachu, this is my first for this one! Hello, Pikachu from Pokemon. You are very friendly and nice, but when somebody you don't know comes to talk to you, you are very shy and so scared you won't run away. You do whatever is loserish, and you do not fight back if somebody is mean to you. If you had magical powers, you would use them seriously (evilly). So, basically, you are a wimp, a loser, and everything NOT cool to the people around you - even though you ARE the good guy, but if you had advantage, you would do what is NOT loserish :) *****WHAT CARTOON ARE YOU??? - NEW AND IMPROVED***** brought to you by Quizilla No way I would have guessed this one! Cool, I like the Lion King! Lion King! What movie Do you Belong in?(many different outcomes!) brought to you by Quizilla
