Welcome to the Doubutsu Anime Fan Club!!!!

Doubutsu/ Dōbutsu/ 動物 - (n) The word "Doubutsu" (or Dōbutsu....the spelling depends on the translator you're using) means "animal" in Japanese. Thus, Doubutsu anime tends to primarily focus on stories about animals, pets, and other mythical critters.
Doubutsu anime is simply a genre of anime (like mecha, moe, or shōnen)...unfortunately it is probably the least known genre of anime (and manga) to date, even though it's wildly popular in Japan.

This is where you guys come in!

This club is for the many people who know and love this greatly overlooked genre of Japanese animation (and comics)


Hello to all! Just a few rules and other things to get you started!

1. No flaming, trolling, etc.
2. Please NO porn or graphic images (minimal gore is OK, but please avoid it if you can)
3. Make sure the piece you're submitting is related to a Doubutsu anime or manga (if you're not sure, just ask!)
4. You can only submit 10 pieces every week
5. Most important of all, HAVE FUN!!!
XD

So....yeah!
We're getting some Hello Kitty graphic novels coming our way! www.comicbookresources.com/?pa… www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/…

Digital Manga has also set a release date for Atomcat and Unico respectively: www.digitalmanga.com/books/133… www.digitalmanga.com/books/133…

...and speaking of Digital Manga....

Everyone drop what you're doing right now, and go order a copy of "Start With A Happy Ending" www.digitalmanga.com/books/104…
I'm not just saying this- I took a risk,  and ordered a copy of this manga on a whim from the local bookstore. This is the best translated Doubutsu manga I've read in YEARS. The story (or, I should say stories), are heartfelt, well thought out, and filled with adorable kitty goodness. By the time I was finished with the read, I had been brought to tears (yes...it's that good).

So...yeah. It's totally worth having in your collection. Best thing I've read since "Bow Wow Wata" (my other favorite doubutsu manga).  O_^
(I would like to know what you guys think of it too!)
With the changing times, I decided to update the licensed doubutsu manga list to include digital format manga. Digital format manga is any series that is offered exclusively through Nook, Kindle, or legal digital sites (such as JManga).
I think you guys will be pleasantly surprised with the results! Over 8 new series have been added!
All the new additions have been marked with a star.
