If you're not familiar with the world of Japanese animation, hearing the word "anime" may remind you of children's cartoons you've watched on Saturday mornings, such as "Pokemon" or "Seven Dragon Beads Z." Although these shows belong to the animation industry, they are only the tip of the iceberg.<br><br>Until a few weeks ago, I didn't realize there was an extremely rich and interesting anime. The first time I came into contact with anime (outside saturday morning's comics) was when I was nine years old. My mother took my brothers and sisters with me to watch Miyazaki's film "Thousands and Thousands of Searches." At the time, I didn't like it at all. I thought it was boring, confusing, strange and creepy. Why? Because I was a child, "A Thousand and a Thousand" is not really a children's film. Like many anime feature films, mature audiences will appreciate it better.<br><br>This is not to say that children should not read anime at all. If children grow up watching anime, that's fine. For many kids, the problem is that they grew up in American animation through simple plots, flat characters and cheap comic reliefs. Then, when they come across Japanese animations with complex character developments, deep themes, subtle dialogues and thought-provoking stories, they get bored, as I did with "A Thousand and a Thousand."<br><br>However, over the past few weeks, I have been exploring some of the best features that anime must offer. As a student, I don't have time to devote myself to the ongoing anime series, so this article will focus on feature films.
