What?! It's ANIME?!

We've all been there; we're enjoying something and then BAM, you realise you've just been watching ANIME One of the best experiences available to film fans around the globe and we're taking a look at the titles that broke the mould, brought anime into the mainstream and may have even crept into your movie collections without you even realising it!

... You guessed it, you're watching a film that was based on a popular Anime right down to the costumes! Zack Snyder turned Anime into a live action smash with Sucker Punch!

... Sudden change from live action to animation?

.... You've been Tarantiono'd. Oren Ishi's story was a bloody affair in Kill Bill, so to get it past the censors and bring a touch of eastern flair to her story, Tarantino threw in an animated segment direct from the Far East! You just watched ANIME!

... Blockbuster spin-offs

.... Sometimes Hollywood has more to add to the story and The Animatrix did that in true Anime style, not using one artist but a multitude from the world of Anime!

... Anime so big even caped crusaders can't resist!

... Batman, enough said!

... Even gaming superstars!

Master Chief > Batman

So Mainstream you would never have known...

... Sometimes Anime hides in plain sight...

Princess Kenny!

Not the first time South Park have dipped their toe into the world of Anime... Princess Kenny was but another success!
