History of Anime

             Anime is a Japanese animated productions that are separated into many kinds of categories such as horror, action/adventure, etc.
             Anime was first started around the 20th century when Japanese filmmakers began experimenting with anime techniques from the West. One of the oldest known anime was in 1917, where a two minute clip of a samurai is trying out his new sword on his target, but is defeated. In 1940, many anime artists' organization had risen. During that time period, anime was mostly used as a channel for government propaganda. In 1945, the first feature length anime film, Momotaro's Divine Sea Warriors, was released.

              During the second World War, the Japanese government began enforcing nationalism, which forced many animators to make animations that boosts the Japanese spirit and national affiliation. In 1948, Toei Animation was founded and produced the first color anime feature film in 1958, Hakujaden (The Tale of the White Serpent, 1958).

             During the 70's, anime film market shrunk due to the increase of television competition. During the 80's,90's, and 2000's anime production flourished with many new animes along with many movies while some anime companies are currently working with Disney.

Windows 7 vs Windows 8

              Apparently, Windows 8 has been raising an uproar in the world for being one of the worst laptops in history. Many people are on both sides for many reasons.

              For the people that are with windows 7, one of the things that windows 8 isn't using from 7 is the 3d switch, the start button and a whole other stuff.  Unlike most models, the windows 8 doesn't have a start up button is missing. Another thing is is that Windows 7 has more graphics than 8.

                           On the other hand, if you are with Windows 8 then you should already know that 8 is just like a touchscreen tablet. Another reason of why 8 is better is that it has better performance, more memory and is very good for online games. Even with all the new upgrades from previous models, Windows 8 lacks the original wallpaper and graphics. Other reasons also say that 8 is still in the process of an upgrade.

                           So its up to you viewers, Windows 7 or 8?
