ANPANMAN







This is Anpanman. He is Japan's most popular cartoon ever.



It is about a "Living Bread" hero who is immaculately conceived and who sacrifices his body to save the world.



You might be freaking out right now if you're Roman Catholic but Anpanman is really just about fun and has nothing to do with a certain JC...... or is there?



I must admit that there is a certain magic and charm to the Anpanman character so I'm not surprised at how popular it is in Japan. Just take a glimpse at his origin and you'll see what I mean.



Everything you want to know about Anpanman can be found in the Anpanland website which to my knowledge is the only comprehensive english website on Anpanman.
