It was another usual Japanese lesson on Thursday, and we were learning how to use ~とき, where ~ can be either the dictionary form or plain past tense of a verb, an i-adjective, a na-adjective or a noun. After the sensei went through the ways to use it, we had a verbal practice. There was one particular sentence that we had to complete.

But, it seems that with quite a large number of anime possessing these 2 traits. Hence, there is intensive competition within the anime industry, with anime series to outshine each other in the various aspects. However, how successful an anime (note: I dont use the word ‘awesome’) is would have to be dependent on it’s viewers.
Hence an additional trait has to be included. It happens to be the classification of anime.
The classification of anime can be divided into 3 main parts. The genre, the target audience and the theme.
