INTEREST: DiCaprio, Jolie & Pitt's Family Are Anime Fans

You're wasting your time trying to explain it to them tempest.

The fact that the first response to an interest article is "go back to real news" even though real news has never stopped being posted shows that these people want to be reactionary and stubborn.

In fact, the additional article genres are MORE content for ANN visitors.

Say what you will about him, but I am pretty sure Zac must approve every article that goes on this site. Also, I think Tempest probably has to approve some of the articles as well. Also, I am not so sure about this, but I think Edgan Loo also has a role in the articles as well.

Nice to see a article. I remember on other anime forum like myanimelist we would talk about celebrities (non-Japanese one, since anime and manga are mainstream over there) who are anime fan. Here's a interesting pic of celebs who are anime fan: source: http://slumz.boxden.com/f429/famous-people-who-like-anime-1318621/ Also, did you know Megan Fox like anime? I'm not lying I was shocked that Megan said this and she said that on Seventeen/Cosmogirlmagazine. Quote: HOW DID YOU GET INTO YOUR LOVE OF ANIME AND GRAPHIC NOVELS? I started drawing when I was about 2, mostly pictures of my mother and my sister. When I got into school, instead of taking the notes that I should have been taking, I was drawing in all of my notebooks. It was an artwork thing for me at first. But when I was 12, Adult Swim on Cartoon Network started, and they had a lot of anime cartoons on, like Cowboy Bebop and InuYasha, and that’s when I first started seeing it in cartoon form and actually started researching it. I’d also been a fan of graphic novels, so it’s that kind of art as well as Japanime art that I’m in love with. For comics, my sister always collected X-Men, and that’s where it started. Then I discovered this comic book Gen13, and that just opened me up to a whole world of animation. I just really, really love it, and I spend a lot of time on the Internet researching it. In fact, it’s probably the only reason I even have a computer, so I can go on and see the latest drawings from Michael Turner, who is one of my favorite artists. We don't know other celebrities who are anime fan. It could be someone who doesn't even look like a nerd.

As real as this looks, this is the internet, you'd be surprised how many things on here that isn't true. That could be fake. Even so, who cares about the celebrities? Besides the anime that is mentioned on there is mainstream or near mainstream. Some of them are mentioned to like Bleach. Last I checked, people are ready to burn others at the stake for liking Bleach. I don't know why people are so excited about a celebrity liking anime. It's no big deal. For all we know, that could be the only anime they like, and have probably never heard of some of the more obscure and niche titles like Weiss Kreuz or Twelve Kingdoms. Are you people that desperate for approval? "Celebrities like anime! New World Order for anime fans! We are now "in"!" Sheesh. Who cares about conformity?

Just so we're clear, I don't personally approve news articles.

Egan Loo is our News Editor and he is trusted by Chris (and all of us) to do the news right. He writes and posts the news.

Gia is our associate editor, and she handles the Interest feed. Her articles are approved by any of the senior editorial staff before they go up.

I handle everything on the right side of the frontpage - opinion, editorial, reviews, features, convention coverage, columns, interviews, the podcast, and anything else that falls outside of regular news.

Justin is responsible for all the video content on the site.

Chris trusts us to do our jobs and generally leaves us to it (but of course tells us when we screw up and makes corrections when needed).

You know the only thing I picked up on from that image was that the guy from Twilight likes Kino's Journey and Mushi-shi. Was not expecting that...

My opinion of Daniel Radcliffe improved considerably when I saw Monster on his list.

As for Ghibli films being widely known, that's the case in Japan. Over here, they're the equivalent of Fantastic Mr. Fox.

Thank you. I was waiting for someone to say that. You'd be surprised to know just how many people have never even heard of any of Studio Ghibli's films.
