ATTENTION
TO ALL INTERESTED IN JAPANESE POP CULTURE AND ANIMATION.
The Ventura Anime Club
invites you to its Japanese Animation Screening--a three hour showing
of various television shows and films subtitled by fans.
Japanese
animation,
aka anime or Japanimation, is the distinct, often highly detailed style
of animation created by Japanese animators.
We typically
recognize them as
"those cute characters with oddly large eyes and unnatural shades
of hair." Created for children and for adults, the stories told
leave no genre untouched from science fiction and horror to drama and
comedy.
Through
this exhibition
of Japanese animation in Ventura County, the hosting club, Ventura
Anime Club, hopes to inspire
animators, storytellers, and filmakers
as well as give people a glimpse of an artform which has been a significant
part of Japan's pop culture for the latter half of this century.
