An Introduction and Anime

For the first post of this blog I found a sophomore named Sidney Bieser. She is an environmental studies major and spends most of her time in her room. What does she do in her free time? Well, for the most part, she watches anime.

Anime can be defined as animation which comes from Japan in the form of television shows and movies. There is a massive variety in genres: action, romance, horror, fantasy, sci-fi, and pretty much anything you can imagine. It is becoming a widespread phenomenon in America, and Sidney watches a great deal of it. She enjoys watching it because "It's a great stress reliever and you wind up learning about a different culture."

She watches a variety of anime, including Yu Yu Hakusho, Fullmetal Alchemist, Romeo x Juliet, Prince of Tennis, Blood+, and Trinity Blood. However, her favorite is Yu Yu Hakusho, an action-oriented show involving battles with spirits and dealing in the afterlife. "I like the overall storyline of good fighting evil," she says.
