WHO AND WHAT WE ARE?..

Introduction: What is the Anime Project?

Due to the great amount of material that came from Japan about ANIME (and Manga), and because nowadays there are more ways to get the things we like, besides the things we like to get are harder ones and we had really troubles, but let these history for other day (or for other section), well let out these little but frustrating details. We arise, like a group of people, with the objetives of get the newest of the anime and manga, and for do a labor of information for the people that begins, for that we have created a club The ANIME PROJECT, in Mexico D.F., all we are young peoples, with the same interest and that every week had a meeting for discussion over diverse themes, furthermore for interchange ideas over the anime (and manga) in a wealth and agreeable ambient.

Anime Project Origin

Was an afternon of winter on that December of 1995 when two friends Eumir y Cesar, discussed about why don´t create a club dedicate to the OTAKUS (Anime and Manga fans), thus born the idea, as a result after two months, in February of 1996 Eumir talk about with Alan and he suggest "put hands on work", after that three peoples become ten, and now we count with more of 30 members and keep growing, now we are one of the clu´s with a major prescence on D.F (Federal Distrct) with contacts in others counrtries including Japan.

Anime Project Objetives

Our objetives are primary promote ANIME in all it´s forms Mangas, TV animated series, and OVA´s (Original Video Animation) we are focus on anotate that the ANIME even when exist for childrens are not completely for they, there are a prejudice in occident that says "anithing that is animated (like cartoons) is only for childrens, we want to cut of with that, is very common for us (and for all the fans of Anime), have heard from someone that has no particular interest on, "do you like cartoons (we must say we thing that the ANIME are not only cartoons or "caricaturas--like say´s in Mexico"), at your age you watch cartoons, these are only for kids!, you´re not a kid now, don´t watch Sailor Moon, is for girls only!, we think all had heard these from our parents, or friends even co-workers...what they say if they watch someday the HENTAI genre (erotic genre), like for example Urotsukidoji, we think the anime is a vast form for experiment (in a wide area of genres, furthermore when a studio don´t wan´t to do a full movie, they can do an OVA without lose of quality), In Jpapan the Manga that is where the anime is inspirated (almost all times) had a vast type of publics there are manga for kids, young people, adults (and they had subgenres too!, like manga for adults workers, young with likes in sports, etc, etc.)... some people had argumented in ocasions that the Anime is too violent, but the life itself is violent, if you wish to view really some violent you had only to put on your TV on any of the News channels, moreover the cartoons itself are violent too, the fact that the characters are animal´s or they never hurt one to other is more preocupant, almost in the Anime we can see that the violence can conduce to de death so there are no misleading, well this points will be discused with profundity in our new section of FANZINE, well we don´t want do polemics, better enjoy this homepage, as long as we only can say "we like the Anime!!!!".
