Anime, sometimes pejoratively referred to as "Japanimation," has always had a cult following here in the States. Many shows maintain dedicated fandoms years after production has ceased--in part because the usual medium of first exposure in America is still the relatively permanent VHS cassette (or, more recently, the bi-lingual DVD) rather than TV broadcast, but in large part because of the vivid characters and powerful storylines found in many such series. It is an ideal base for fan fiction.
