Big in Japan

This week's Trivia: Big in Japan

As few as 20 years ago, anime in the United States was limited to a few choice pieces, Manga was almost unattainable, and our closest glimpse to Japanese cinema was badly-dubbed villagers running away from giant plastic lizards. The Internet has made the world smaller, and now, every major bookstore devotes an amount of shelf space to those little digests. Anime gets its own programming blocks on several channels. How much of your entertainment comes from that mass of islands in the Pacific?
