Ah, my new favorite time of the year. Welcome to the AniMAY 2014 celebration at Sketchy Details. Each May, we're going to focus in on the wonderful world of Japanese animation and comics, called anime and manga, with new posts every day. I'm even going to try to fit some of the video programming into AniMAY this year. With the increased emphasis on simultaneous streaming releases around the world and the growth of online streaming, it's easier than ever to get into anime and manga. Those industries are predicated on providing content for every demographic, from young child to full grown adult. Japan does not view comics and animation as children's stuff. Many anime programs debut each year and manga shops and newsstands cater to all ages.
So pull up a chair and get ready to explore films, television, and print media from Japan throughout the month.
