I beat The Karate Kid (NES) without dying! Played this very briefly as a kid, probably at a friend's house but really don't remember. Started playing it again about 4 days ago and OMG that kickback effect is killer, especially when you get caught between two enemies making you feel like you're in A Night at the Roxbury. I finally beat it tonight, twice actually. The first time I had died only once so gave it a few more tries and was able to do it without dying. Even after all my playthroughs, I was still never able to master the Swinging Hammer dodge.

I beat Pro Wrestling (NES) undefeated with Starman! This is not a game I owned as a kid but definitely played with friends. I was always fond of Starman as I loved his Somersault Kick and Flying Cross Chop. Never really tried to beat it on single player mode until a couple weeks ago and succeeded a couple days later. Then I discovered RetroAchievements.org and spent the next week trying to beat it again to get the achievements. Just succeeded today, but this video is of last week's playthrough. I found the easiest way to win a match is to trap your opponent outside the ring as the 20 count runs out. Have to be careful, though, as they can do the same to you!

What is Anime?
Anime (アニメ) is, in the simplest term, animation from Japan. As you can imagine, this covers a whole heck of a lot of varying artistic styles, many of which differ quite drastically, yet the common thread through it all is exaggeration. Characters having large eyes or exuberant unnaturally colored hair are often the first features to stand out for a person new to anime, but there are also techniques such as colored lines or icons drawn over faces to indicate specific emotions or temporary physical deformations such as flattening a face when a character is struck hard or turning them into a "chibi", which is a short, super-cute version of the character with a really large head and small body.
Anime is produced in three basic forms, on television, as Original Video Animations (OVA), and as full length feature films. Of these three mediums, movies typically have the best art and animation, as they have more development time and a larger budget, whereas television anime has more time to delve deep into a story and develop the characters. Unlike a lot of Western cartoon where plots are created and concluded in a single episode, television anime tends to have stories that span across the entire season, making it important to watch the show in order and hopefully not miss any episodes!
Anime isn't just for kids or sci-fi and fantasy geeks either, as it spans every type of genre imaginable. Some are made for young children, where others are strictly for adults only. No matter who you are, there is sure to be anime out there that melds with your desires, so please don't be turned off to anime as a whole if you happen to come across one or two series that you didn't care for. Try a different genre, or a different animation studio, because once you find that one show that emotionally touches you like no other before it, you will be hooked! So go find that anime, and experience the wonder of Japanese Animation!
