∀ Gundam or Turn A Gundam (∀ガンダム, Tān Ē Gandamu?) is a 50 episode anime series that aired between 1999 and 2000 on Japan's FNN networks and the anime satellite television network, Animax, created for the Gundam Big Bang 20th Anniversary celebration. It was also compiled into two feature-length movies titled ∀ Gundam I: Earth Light and ∀ Gundam II: Moonlight Butterfly.

Turn A Gundam was the last Gundam anime to be directed by Yoshiyuki Tomino, who was the main creator of the Gundam franchise and had written and directed many previous Gundam works. This series was made after Tomino had recovered from his depression that influenced Mobile Suit Victory Gundam, and the general tone and mood of Turn A Gundam is much more hopeful and less dark than his other Gundam series.

The Prince of Tennis (テニスの王子様, Tenisu no Ōjisama?) is a popular Japanese manga and anime series created by Takeshi Konomi. The manga was first published in Japan in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump on July of 1999. The manga is published in English in North America by Viz Media.

The series was put under hiatus when Konomi was injured in an accident during the Summer of 2006, but publication resumed in September 2006. Though publication was scheduled to end in late November in issue 52 of Weekly Shonen Jump,[1] it was later confirmed that the series would not cease publication and will continue being published in the magazine.

As of volume 35, the manga has sold over 37 million copies in Japan.

Bugs Bunny is an animated rabbit/hare who appears in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of animated films produced by Warner Bros. Cartoons. Today, he is the corporate mascot for Warner Brothers, especially its animated productions.

According to his biography, he was "born" in 1938 in Brooklyn, New York City, New York and the product of many creators: Ben "Bugs" Hardaway (who created a prototypical version of Bugs Bunny known around Termite Terrace as Bugs' Bunny) Bob Clampett, Tex Avery (who directed A Wild Hare, considered Bugs' formal film debut), Robert McKimson (who created the definitive Bugs Bunny character design), Chuck Jones, and Friz Freleng.

According to Mel Blanc, the character's original voice actor, Bugs Bunny's accent is an equal blend of the Bronx and Brooklyn dialects. However, Tex Avery claims that he asked Blanc to give the character not a New York accent per se, but a voice like that of actor Frank McHugh, who frequently appeared in supporting roles in the 1930s and whose voice might be described as New York Irish.[1] Bugs Bunny is one of the most popular and recognizable cartoon characters in the world. In 2002, he was named by TV Guide as the greatest cartoon character of all time.
