Anime

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, including children, teenagers, and adults. Anime is typically produced as television series, films, or web series and can feature different animation techniques, including traditional hand-drawn and computer-generated imagery (CGI).

The storytelling in anime often includes complex narratives, character development, and emotional depth, allowing it to explore a variety of themes such as love, friendship, adventure, and morality. Anime can also be adapted from manga (Japanese comic books) and light novels, contributing to its vast and diverse body of work.

As a cultural phenomenon, anime has gained international popularity, leading to a growing fanbase outside Japan and influencing global animation styles and storytelling formats. The term ‘anime’ in English usually refers specifically to Japanese animated works, distinguishing it from animation produced in other countries.
