"Anime? Is this like those large, overweight sweaty kids that seemed to smell even worse if I looked in their direction in high school?" Lynna asked.
Valles' perky expression fell a bit at that image, before she sighed. "No. You remember the costumes that we showed off in the D? That got those reactions out of Terr and even Mag?"
"Yeah? So this is like that then?" Lynna said, still not particularly enlightened.
"Sort of. Anime is a genre of animation from Japan," V said, settling into a lecturing mode.
"So it's not in English."
"Well, some of it's not. Other anime's been so popular that they translated it and sell it here."
"So it is in English?" Lynna asked.
"Mostly....unless it hasn't been released here yet, in which case it's subtitled," V explained
"....I'm lost."
V sighed and pulled out a DVD case. She wasn't sure if she particularly wanted to watch this, but occasionally lots of pretty explosions and fan service would serve rather than trying to explain the intricacies of the genre to Lynna verbally.
"How about we just watch it? If you have questions, I can probably answer them as we watch."
Lynna shrugged, bouncing over the couchback and landing next to V as she put the DVD in. "What's this one?"
"Something Mag recommended to me. Gurren Lagann. He gave it to me and said to stick with it through episode 8, and that was about it."
"Huh."

"Oh, silver blade, forged in the depths of the beyond. Heed my summons and purge those who stand in my way. Lay
waste."
