[Haggis]

Entertainment - The thing I like about anime is that they introduce elements that are very different to what we're used to in the west. You're describing an anime to a mate, "It's about a traveller who tours around the country on her motorbike" (nice and straightfoward) "and, oh yes, the bike talks to her" (only in anime)

I mean try explaining the end of Akira to anyone. I think that's why I liked Evangelion because you had to work out what was happening at the end, whereas I have a mate who hates films that he has to think about. Typical of many western viewers I think.
