What is anime all about, anyway?

I confess that I don't understand much about Anime. What can you tell me about it?

P.S. Some of you are getting lazy with your grammar. Remember this blog will be read by people in Japan, so please use proper grammar!

Mystery Challenge #3: What animal?

As regular readers of this blog know, I will be living for a while on the island of Shikoku. There is a species of animal named after Shikoku. Can you identify the type of animal and provide a little information?

Answer as provided by Louise and Shadow: Shikoku is a breed of dog that was originally used in Japan for hunting. Good job, students

Assignment: Shikoku

I've just been informed of my assigment: I will be spending several weeks in Shokoku. What can you discover about this mystery spot? (Please don't cut and paste pages of information from other web sites. Summary is best; perhaps with a few lines properly quoted from another source.)

Learn a little... Japanese!

Those students that wish to brush up on their conversational Japanese are invited to practice with Mr. Lahr in room fifty-four every Wed. & Thurs. at lunch! See you there!
