Anime
Anime ( ), also called Japanimation, is hand-drawn or computer animation associated with Japan. The word "anime" is the Japanese term for "animation", which means all forms of animated media. Outside Japan, "anime" refers specifically to animation from Japan or as a Japanese-disseminated animation style often characterized by colorful graphics, vibrant characters and fantastical themes. Arguably, the culturally abstract approach to the word's meaning may open up the possibility of anime produced in countries other than Japan. For simplicity, many Westerners strictly view anime as a Japanese animation product.
Anime and manga fandom
Anime and manga fandom (otherwise known as fan community) is a worldwide community of fans of anime and manga. Anime includes animated series, films and videos, while manga includes Manga, graphic novels, drawings, and related artwork. They have their origin in Japanese entertainment, but the style and culture has spread worldwide since its introduction into the West in the 1990s. "Otaku" is a Japanese term for people with obsessive interests, including anime, manga, or video games. In its original context, the term "otaku" is derived from a Japanese term for another's house or family ( "otaku"), which is also used as an honorific second-person pronoun.
History of anime
The history of anime can be traced back to the start of the 20th century, with the earliest verifiable films dating from 1917. The first generation of animators in the late 1910s included Ōten Shimokawa, Jun'ichi Kōuchi and Seitaro Kitayama, commonly referred to as the "fathers" of anime. Propaganda films, such as "Momotarō no Umiwashi" (1943) and "" (1945), the latter being the first anime feature film, were made during World War II. During the 1970s, anime developed further, with the inspiration of Disney animators, separating itself from its Western roots, and developing distinct genres such as mecha and its super robot subgenre.
Anime-influenced animation
Anime-influenced animation or Western Anime is a type of media that refers to non-Japanese works of animation that replicate certain aspects of the visual style of Japanese anime. With the rise of anime's popularity it has become an integral part of animation produced in the Western world, and some fans and critics argue that the term should be defined as a "style" rather than as a national product, which leaves open the possibility of anime being produced in other countries. Although outside Japan, "anime" is used to refer specifically to animation from Japan or as a Japanese-disseminated animation style often characterized by colorful graphics, vibrant characters and fantastical themes, there is a debate over whether the culturally abstract approach to the word's meaning may open up the possibility of anime produced in countries other than Japan.
