Anime refers to a style of animated film and television entertainment that originated in Japan. Characterized by colorful artwork, vibrant characters, and fantastical themes, anime encompasses a wide range of genres and audiences. While it is primarily a medium for storytelling, anime often integrates elements of Japanese culture, including folklore, mythology, and social issues.
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 Japan, however, “anime” specifically denotes Japanese animation. The art style of anime often features exaggerated facial expressions, distinctive character designs, and dynamic action sequences.
Anime can be produced in various formats, including television series, films, web series, and original video animations (OVAs). It has gained a significant global following, influencing a wide range of media, including comics (manga), video games, and merchandise. The community around anime includes fans who engage with the content through conventions, online discussions, and fan art.
