Hello Anime! is a new documentary DVD by filmmakers Manuel Stagars and Georg Fick that chronicles the anime boom in America. In 19 exclusive interviews, the maverick pioneers who defined the movement talk about their personal success stories and reveal the inside scoop on anime. The filmmakers followed the anime movement for one year. In trips to Tokyo, San Francisco, Hollywood and various conventions, they garnered exclusive interviews with anime pioneers, artists, animators, designers and entrepreneurs, altogether over 2 hours of personal inside knowledge about Japan's most successful cultural export. Once an underground revolution, anime is now revitalizing Hollywood, in the process redefining the very nature of American culture, movies and games. The DVD boasts a second disc of interviews with the triumphant titans of the industry - VIZ Media, Bandai America, Tokyopop, ADV Films, Geneon - filmed at Anime Expo 2005.

Hello Anime! delivers a firsthand look at the dawn of anime in America, the rise of the otakus, the anime internet community, anime in Kill Bill and The Matrix and the Japanization of America.
