Anime is a style of animation that originated in Japan and encompasses a wide range of genres, themes, and artistic techniques. Characterized by vibrant artwork, colorful characters, and fantastical themes, anime can be targeted at various age groups, from children to adults. The term “anime” is derived from the English word “animation” and is used in Japan to refer to all forms of animation, but outside Japan, it specifically refers to Japanese animation. Typically, anime is produced in both television series and feature films, with storytelling that often includes a blend of action, adventure, romance, science fiction, and fantasy elements. Despite its origins, anime has grown in global popularity and influence, inspiring a diverse fanbase and leading to an expansive industry that includes merchandise, video games, and manga (Japanese graphic novels). The distinct art style, characterized by exaggerated facial expressions and emotive characters, is a hallmark of the medium, along with the use of unique narrative structures that often challenge conventional storytelling methods.
