It's not surprising that, as animation fans get older, their attention is drawn (no pun intended) to the work being done in Japan. There, animation (or anime) is not just for kids: it's recognized as a legitimate art form, and many animated films contain adult themes and images, and I don't mean that just in the pornographic sense.

Even the anime meant for the under-12 set has a depth and lyricism most North American cartoons just cannot match, with the exception of the National Film Board of Canada, DIsney and Pixar's best work.

This brings me to Whale-Love.org. From the title alone, it's very easy to assume that this is some kind of porno site, or even a humour site like Horny-Manatee.com. However, it's put together by Greenpeace as part of their efforts to control (or even stop) whale hunting.
