Anime is a style of animation that originated in Japan and encompasses a wide range of genres and themes. Characterized by colorful artwork, vibrant characters, and fantastical storytelling, anime can be presented in both television series and feature films. The term “anime” is derived from the English word “animation,” but in Japan, it refers to all forms of animated works, regardless of origin. Internationally, however, it specifically denotes animation produced in Japan.
Anime often features distinctive character designs, with exaggerated facial expressions and large, expressive eyes. It addresses various themes and demographics, appealing to children, teenagers, and adults alike. In addition to traditional hand-drawn techniques, anime now frequently employs computer-generated imagery (CGI).
The medium has a rich cultural impact, influencing various aspects of entertainment and popular culture around the world. It includes a variety of genres such as action, romance, horror, and science fiction, often incorporating complex narratives and character development. Anime is frequently adapted from manga (Japanese comic books) or light novels, contributing to its diverse storytelling approaches.
