Animation

Animation is a term used to describe a variety of filmmaking techniques by which subjects are manipulated from frame to frame to create the illusion of movement. It is distinct from live-action filmmaking in that the subjects of the image are not actually animate, as human actors are. 
==Types of Animation==
There are many methods of animation. 
* Traditional Animation, which is done by drawing frames by hand on paper or cels. This method has waned in popularity among major studios over the past few decades. 
* Computer Animation, which is done by manipulating models in a computer program. This can be used for 2D animation or 3D animation. 
* Stop-Motion Animation, which done by moving real puppets by hand one frame at a time. This includes claymation (e.g. Aardman) and cutout animation (e.g. South Park's pilot). 
==Fan Animations==
Just as fannish writers and artists create works in their preferred mediums, many animators create animated fanworks for their favorite properties. Any of the above animation methods can and have been used for fan animations. 
A handful of "re-animated" projects have popped up in various fandoms over the years; the idea is that a large group of animators is each given a brief clip of a larger animated work and re-animate the clip in their own style, after which the clips are combined into a recreation of the whole original work.
Related to fan animations are fan animatics, which consist of storyboard-style illustrations.

Anime's Got Talent

Anime's Got Talent is a popular amv in the broader anime fandom. As of December 2023, it has over 23 million views on Youtube. The video is well known in the community for its premise as well as the impressive masking and technical skill demonstrated by the creators.
== Description ==
The AMV features numerous characters from anime and the occasional cartoon competing against each other in an "Anime's Got Talent" competition referencing shows like America's Got Talent. In the end, it seems to come down to Luffy, Naruto, Kaori Miyazono, and Kaito Kid (who's quickly disqualified for disappearing). As the finalists await the results, Lelouch Lamperouge from Code Geass appears to brainwash the judges and take the crown himself. 
A second "secret ending" video reveals that Zoro has finally arrived after getting lost and Lelouch has been added to the judging lineup, much to the chagrin of competition loser, Naruto.Anime's Got Talent Secret Ending

AnimeCon '91

AnimeCon, held in San Jose, California in 1991, was the fourth anime convention created in the United States, the first convention to have major backing from the anime industry, the first anime-specific convention within the state of California (which spawned many similar conventions thereafter), and the first anime-specific convention in the US to break 1,000 attendees. 
It also formed the genesis of Anime Expo (currently the largest anime-specific convention in North America).
==Guests==
Guests included Jerry Beck, Colleen Doran, Geoff Everets, Carl Macek, Ken Macklin, Johji Manabe, Leiji Matsumoto, Luke Menichelli, Haruhiko Mikimoto, Robert Napton, John O'Donnell, Toshio Okada, Katsuhiro Otomo, David Riddick, Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, Toren Smith, Kenichi Sonoda, Rick Sternbach, Jeff Thompson, Adam Warren, Robert Woodhead, Trish Ledoux and Toshifumi Yoshida. 
According to a report printed in the Boston Japanimation Society's newsletter, the con program came with an animation guide with a cover by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto. Neil Nadelman's con report in Japanese Animation News & Review stated that Katsuhiro Otomo, Leiji Matsumoto, and Toshio Okada all had to cancel at the last minute.
==Attendance==
Attendance was officially estimated at 2,000.
==Sponsors==
The convention was co-sponsored by Gainax, Cal-Animage, the founders of BayCon, BAAS, and Studio Proteus.
== Reports ==
== History ==
During its inaugural year, AnimeCon went deeply into debt due to severe budget overruns. Soon after, a management dispute erupted which imperiled the chance of a follow-on. Many of the staff went on to form Anime Expo, while others went on to form a rival convention, Anime America (which was canceled in 1997 and went defunct shortly thereafter). The period between late 1992 and early 1997 is sometimes referred to as the "Con Wars" by attendees and staffers of both conventions. It was typified by a number of personal attacks and allegations of sabotage on and off the Internet (and in particular on rec.arts.anime).
Although Anime Expo is, for all practical purposes, considered separate from AnimeCon, the Society for the Promotion of Japanese Animation (AX's parent organization) took control of AnimeCorp in 1992 and assumed many of its legal and financial obligations (including all debts incurred), the rights to the AnimeCon name, and existing stocks of unsold merchandise (including large numbers of the aforementioned T-shirts). Pre-registrations for the planned AnimeCon '92 were converted into Anime Expo '92 pre-registrations. Sometime after which, AnimeCon Corporation was formally dissolved.
Today, AnimeCon merchandise is considered a collectible item by some. Program booklets and T-shirts can still be found. AnimeCon T-shirts were sold on behalf of the SPJA during the subsequent years of AX.

Anime Central

Anime Central, commonly called ACen, is an annual anime/manga convention held in Rosemont, Illinois. It has grown from 1,203 attendees in 1998 to 32,653 attendees in 2018.Attendance Numbers, acen.org. Accessed May 21 2019
==Controversy==
In 2019, an artist named blushsprout who was selling in ACen's Artist Alley posted on Twitter that she noticed another booth was selling copies of her designs, as well as other counterfeit/bootleg goods. She also reported the offending booth to ACen. The tweet gained the attention of con staff, and the artist reported that "staff approached me at my table with no warning and gave me the ultimatum to either delete my “viral” tweet about the counterfeits of my OWN work being sold in their exhibit hall, or pack up my belongings & leave". She chose to delete the tweet rather than leave.Twitter thread, May 19 2019
ACen's Exhibit Space manager later posted on Facebook that the reason staffers gave blushsprout this ultimatum was because the tweet was causing the sellers at the other booth to be harassed.Twitter thread, May 20 2019

Anime Club

An Anime Club is a group of people who get together to watch anime. Most of these exist outside of Japan, where anime was traditionally harder to obtain. Many are organized at the college or university level.
==History==
The first recorded anime club in the United States was the Cartoon/Fantasy Organization (C/FO) in May, 1977. Branches of the C/FO spread throughout the United States, and there was even one based near an Air Force base in Japan, the "Rising Sun" branch. The C/FO and its affiliated clubs dominated the anime fanbase through most of the 80s. The organization began to decay as groups left in the late 80s. In July 1989, it ended its role as a collection of fanclubs, with each chapter now independent.
Throughout the 1990s, anime clubs were primarily found in colleges and universities. Many took advantage of lecture halls which were usually empty in the evenings to hold group showings. In a Funimation article, one fan recalls the honor of selecting the anime for each week's showings, trying to balance the number of shoujo and Shounen series as well as present a good mix of classic and new content. 
==Activities==
Anime clubs might sponsor any of these activities (or more):
* watching anime (usually subtitled, often fansubbed)
* reading manga (in Japanese, with online text translations, as scanlations, or professionally translated)
* watching anime music videos
* listening to J-Pop (Japanese pop music)
* maintaining a club library from which members can borrow material
* eating Japanese food as a group
* attending or volunteering at local anime conventions
* organizing outings for karaoke or to participate in Japanese cultural events
* cosplaying
* sponsoring fansubs (more during the VHS era than today)
* playing video games
* sharing fanart and fanfiction
Each club has its own preferred activities and traditions, though showing anime is nearly universal. Membership is mostly free in the United States and Canada; some clubs in the United Kingdom and Australia charge for membership or showings.

Anime Expo

With an attendance of 100,000+, Anime Expo is North America’s premier anime fan convention. It regularly brings in big name creators and production companies, and is THE place for previewing anime, buying expensive Evangelion models, and of course Anime cosplay. Although attendance is large, it does not rival the size of San Diego’s comic con, but the sheer number of people packed into the convention center can be overwhelming.
==Purpose==
The organization states its purpose as follows:
== Reports ==
A report by Derek Quintanar in Animag issue 2.03 estimated that over 2,000 fans attended Anime Expo '92. He contrasted it to AnimeCon '91, noting that Anime Expo had been created by diehard fans instead of being sponsored by Gainax like AnimeCon. According to Quintanar, Anime Expo '92 had a "more intimate scale" than Japanese conventions, allowing fans to ask for personalized sketches in autograph sessions and talk to creators personally at a Meet the Guests reception.
The English dub of Macross II premiered at Anime Expo '92, along with a subtitled version of guest Buichi Terasawa's Karasu Tengu Kabuto.Derek Quintanar in Animag Volume 2, Issue 3: Anime Expo '92
