The 100 Best Anime of the Last 100 Years (according to TAAF)

In case some of you are not aware, this year marks the 100th anniversary of the Japanese animation industry. Recently, the staff of the Tokyo Anime Award Festival put together their list of the 100 best anime to be released/launched in the last 100 years, and apparently, the titles are in order of release time. If you're curious about whether or not any of your favorite anime made the cut, you can view the entire list at the Otaku USA website (I know some of my favs did).

Save Anime and Manga!

Back in late April, Otaku USA and a few news sources reported about the petition seeking to push the United Nations to illegalize the worldwide distribution of anime and manga (excl. in Japan). Good news is now there is a petition to crusade against this terror. To defend your freedom to watch anime and read manga, please sign this force-of-good petition at change.org.

Today is a sad day for otaku communities worldwide. For according to Otaku USA's website, a jerk in Berlin launched a petition intended to persuade the United Nations into making the international distribution of all anime and manga illegal, alleging that anime and manga threaten the morality of young people. So far, only 385 people signed the petition itself, but let's hope the ban never happens for our sake and for the sake of the Japanese media. I mean, hasn't Japan suffered enough?
