Anime is a style of animation that originated in Japan and is characterized by colorful artwork, vibrant characters, and fantastical themes. It encompasses a wide range of genres and appeals to various audiences, from children to adults. Anime is often adapted from manga (Japanese comic books), light novels, or original screenplays. It features distinct visual styles, such as exaggerated facial expressions, unique character designs, and dynamic movement.
The term “anime” is derived from the English word “animation,” but in Japan, it refers to all forms of animated works, regardless of origin. Outside of Japan, “anime” specifically refers to Japanese animation. Anime can be distributed in various formats, including television series, films, OVA (original video animation), and web series.
Anime has gained international popularity and has a significant cultural impact, influencing global animation trends, storytelling techniques, and character development. It often explores complex themes such as identity, relationships, and moral dilemmas, contributing to its appeal among diverse audiences.
