Anime, or Japanese animation, is Asia's equivalent of the Harry Potter phenomenon--an overseas export that has unexpectedly taken America by storm. While Hollywood struggles to fill seats, Japanese anime releases are increasingly outpacing American movies in sheer numbers and, more importantly, in the devotion they inspire in their fans.
