What is a Fanlisting?
Acording to The Anime Fanlistings Organization, "A fanlisting is a web clique that lists fans of a particular subject. Unlike most web cliques, a person does not need a web site in order to join. Fans from around the world submit their information to their approved fanlisting and they are then listed to show their love for the subject."
On the internet, the online community largely acknowledges TheFanlistings (TFL) and AnimeFanlistings (TAFL) as a major unifying force behind fanlistings. Their websites act as link directories to fanlistings, with rules and approval requirements. Fanlistings are not officially owned by the entertainment companies for the subjects they represent. These fanlistings are created by fans for fans. Fanlistings are not required to be a part of TFL/TAFL. However, to be approved by the respected TFL/TAFL community carries much weight in itself.
What is Tank!?
Tank! is the opening theme song for the anime TV series, Cowboy Bebop. It was composed by musical genius Yoko Kanno, and performed by her band, The Seatbelts. The song is in hard bop style, meaning a mixture of jazz and a few other influences. See The Song section for more information.
