Anime

Anime is a style of animation that originated in Japan and encompasses a wide range of genres and themes. It is characterized by colorful artwork, vibrant characters, and fantastical themes. Anime can be produced as both television series and films, and it is often based on manga (Japanese comic books) or light novels. The visual style of anime typically includes exaggerated facial expressions and distinct character designs, such as large eyes and stylized hair.

The medium is known for its diverse storytelling, which can appeal to various age groups and taste preferences, ranging from children’s shows to complex narratives suitable for adults. Anime has gained significant popularity worldwide, leading to a dedicated fan base, conventions, and a growing influence on global pop culture. The term “anime” itself is derived from the English word “animation,” but in Japan, it refers broadly to all animated works, regardless of origin.
