[{"role": "system", "content": "Anime ( ), also called Japanimation, is hand-drawn or computer animation associated with Japan. The word \"anime\" is the Japanese term for \"animation\", which means all forms of animated media. Outside Japan, \"anime\" refers specifically to animation from Japan or as a Japanese-disseminated animation style often characterized by colorful graphics, vibrant characters and fantastical themes. Arguably, the culturally abstract approach to the word's meaning may open up the possibility of anime produced in countries other than Japan. For simplicity, many Westerners strictly view anime as a Japanese animation product. Some scholars suggest defining anime as specifically or quintessentially Japanese may be related to a new form of orientalism. The earliest commercial Japanese animation dates to 1917, and Japanese anime production has since continued to increase steadily. The characteristic anime art style emerged in the 1960s with the works of Osamu Tezuka and spread internationally in the late twentieth century, developing a large domestic and international audience. Anime is distributed theatrically, by way of television broadcasts, directly to home media, and over the Internet. It is classified into numerous genres targeting diverse broad and niche audiences.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Man I love anime!  It's great that there are a wide variety of genres for animated shows in Japan."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is the only anime I know of, and it's children'ts anime.  That's how I first heard the term \"bronies.\""}, {"role": "user", "content": "Heh, I think bronies get a bad rap because a few of them (let's be honest, a bit more than a few) are a little... intense... but you can't really judge them by the worst examples, right?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I am a high school teacher and about 10 years ago some students started a Bronie club.

Sometimes they just find a really good show and fantasize about it being real.  It's nothing new, really.  Star Trek had the same kind of fans back in the day."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I guess it is similar to ComicCon and Trekkies. Didn't Trekkies also enjoy \"The Man From U.N.C.L.E?\""}, {"role": "user", "content": "Maybe.  I know \"the Man From U.N.C.L.E.\" was an inspiration for one of the classic 70s animes \"Lupin the III.\""}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "The Montreal Comiccon featured anime as well as comics, toys, games, and sci-fi.  Even so, I still don't think my lack of imagination will allow me to understand all the fuss."}]
