In this new age, a lot of young people don't think about death a lot like they used to.
We have too many things to do: go to school, go to work, see the latest "Lost" episode, talk about it for hours on the message boards, finish those quizzes on Facebook, go on dates, imitate vacuous celebrities, go to concerts, etc.

Anime. The word brings to mind different images. Comicon. Dragonball. Sailormoon. For many, the word brings to mind the manga and anime obsessed oddball found in the corners of comic stores often referred to as the "otakus."
