I wasn’t much of an anime fan until 3 years ago, which was when I first watched A Certain Magical Index, which to my own surprise got the top spot in Charapedia’s ranking.

 

The series not only made characters like Touma, Mikoto, Index, and Accelerator household names in Japan, but it also made light novels a whole lot more popular, with the A Certain series being one of the longest running series out there.

 

Another light novel anime gets the spot just under A Certain series, and it is Sword Art Online which converted many people in Japan into otakus after it first aired.

 

Now, which anime triggered your anime addiction?

Anime products wholesale:How to Open an Anime Store

 

Anime are Japanese cartoons that are very bright and colorful; they can sometimes be adult-oriented. 

 

With the right procedure of plans, you can set up everything you need to create and open an anime store.

 

You can follow below:

 

1.Decide what kind of anime you would like to have in your store. Comics, magazines, videos, posters, posterboard drawings or anime toys. Compile a written list of ideas. Order merchandise for your store from such places as "Robert's Anime Corner Store," "The Anime Corner Store" or "Anime Castle." You may also want to establish relationships with independent anime artists from your area and stock their work.

 

2.Seek business help if required. The Business.gov website offers a page listing business assistance and training. The type of training that you will need or might need to get assistance for is how to properly advertise and run an anime store. You would want to have knowledge in anime cartoons and shows. You would also need to know what types of anime toys there are and the functions they have.

 

3.Market your anime store in the newspaper by posting an advertisement on the opening of your store. Create and pass out fliers. If possible, hang a banner for your store on roads with a lot of traffic near your store.

 

4.Apply for different grants such as government loans if needed to fund your store. You can apply for a small business loan through the government. The 7(a) Loan program allows you to apply for a loan that the government and loaning companies help you with for your first business.

 

5.Create a store name and register it with your state government. See the resource labeled " Business Name Registration " at the website Business.gov. This page will allow you to search your specific state to register your store name. Choose a name that fits your anime store and a name that would appeal to your potential anime customers.

 

6.Call the IRS at 1-800-829-4933 or go to IRS.gov to apply for an Employer Identification Number. This is a federal tax identification number used to recognize you as a business.

 

7.See the page at Business.gov in resources entitled "State Taxes" to locate your state and register with your state for a tax identification number, worker's insurance, and unemployment if necessary.

Anime products wholesale:How to Make Anime Shows

 

Anime is a Japanese school of animation with its own style, story traditions and codes for portraying emotions. The genre has gone beyond its homeland to enjoy a dedicated fan base stateside. Even U.S.-produced shows such as Teen Titans and the Boondocks have emulated anime conventions in their own series. Otaku---the fans of anime---are among some of the most dedicated pop culture fans, so it is important to carefully study and reproduce the soul of anime shows.

 

1.Select a genre and structure for your show. In the broadest sense, the genres are the same as you would find in the U.S.: action, comedy, drama, horror, romance, science fiction and variants or amalgams thereof. Apply anime conventions to the genres, such as anthropomorphic animals or frantic emoting in comedy, idealized teenage innocence in romance and the honor-bound warrior in action. Consider whether you want a frequently produced "assembly line" serial or a single-season storyline with the resolution planned from the beginning. The latter is more common in anime than it is in the U.S., where the continued production of an advertising revenue generator may be more desirable than a well-structured story.

 

2.Gather a team of writers and start developing scripts for the show. Ask each writer to develop a brief treatment for an episode. Have them justify the episode within the context of the overarching plot of the series, especially if the show will be limited to one or two seasons from the start. Assign one or two writers to work on a single episode's script and then bring it back to the group for revision.

 

3.Bring in your voice actors for the dialogue recording session. Meet with them before recording to go over the storyboards and develop a voice that matches the character. Give them notes over multiple takes until they hit on the perfect characterization for the voice. Video tape the session as reference material for animation.

 

4.Animate the key frames---notable shifts in character, object or scene movement---in separate sequences that will add up to a full episode. Create more frequent key frames for action sequences to guarantee total control over the look of the final product. Highlight a dramatic action that doesn't include a lot of action---such as a flying kick---by animating a colorful background of moving lines. Use the between-frame option of the animation program to complete the sequences and double-check the resulting product to make sure the animation is up to spec.
