Anime refers to a style of animation that originated in Japan and encompasses a diverse range of genres and themes. It is characterized by colorful artwork, vibrant characters, and fantastical themes, often featuring a distinctive aesthetic that includes exaggerated facial expressions and dynamic motion. While anime can be aimed at various age groups, its narrative depth and artistic expression often attract a wide audience.
The term “anime” itself is derived from the English word “animation,” but in Japan, it refers to all forms of animated works, regardless of origin. Outside of Japan, however, it specifically pertains to Japanese animation. Anime can be presented in various formats, including television series, films, original video animations (OVAs), and web series.
Storylines in anime can range from the highly fantastical to the realistic, often exploring complex themes such as love, friendship, conflict, morality, and identity. The medium has gained significant global popularity since the late 20th century and has influenced various aspects of global pop culture.
