Japanese anime making inroads in America, already very popular for years in my house.

Japan * ping * (kono risuto ni hairitai ka detai wo shirasete kudasai let me know if you want on or off this list)

What is interesting is how things have changed since my childhood. My older brothers watched 'Speed Racer.' I loved ''Battle of the Planets' 'Force Five' and 'Starblazers,' all of which were edited, rewritten and retitled for American audiences, erasing all traces of their Japanese orgins. Now, with most shows, there is far less westernization. Especially with the names.

Japanese animation was popular back in the 60's as well. I well remember "Astro Boy", "Speed Racer", "Tobor the 8th Man", "Simba the White Lion", etc, etc
