Why watch anime when you can make it?
I've been working with Open Source programs for over a year now, and I've been amazed at what people are willing to give away. Programs like OpenOffice.org and Firefox, (which, incidentally officially crossed into the 1.0 arena on Nov. 9), are awesome, and they allow users to get the job done when it comes to common computing tasks like web surfing and word processing. It kind of makes sense that people would be willing to help other people handle the basics, and even to do so in an feature-rich way, but 3D graphics, animation, and interaction?!?!? You mean people are handing out free and legal copies of a program that could easily cost a couple of grand? No way!
