Chris and I were introduced to the world of Anime (Japanese animation) last year by his brother Daniel and his wife Alina. We have definitely enjoyed some amazing series and great movies by Hiyao Miyazaki! Some of our favorites are "Last Exile" (series), "Scrapped Princess" (series), "Fruits Basket" (series), "Spirited Away" (Hiyao Miyazaki), "My Neighbor Totoro" (I think Hiyao Miyazaki), "Samurai 7" (series), and "Haibane Renmei" (series). I have been completely amazed at the detail and depth of character that is a defining characteristic of Anime! Anime teaches profound lessons about individual worth, love, friendship, sacrifice, and duty. It might seem silly but every time I watch Anime I am deeply moved and inspired to believe in myself and in others. Now, there are hundreds of different genres of Anime and certainly they are not all good or worth seeing, but there are a few gems that we have discovered that are funny, inspiring, dramatic, and beautiful.

Alan's tried to introduce me to Anime as well and I haven't been quite convinced yet. :) It's nice to find something enjoyable to watch, though, these days!
