The Common Pitfalls of AnimeIt is undeniable that there is a LOT of anime out there, and that it’s a very lucrative sub-branch of the cartoon industry. It may even be more lucrative than anything to come out of Hollywood in recent years (excluding television series for toddlers, such as the Backyardigans).
