Anime refers to a style of animation that originated in Japan and is characterized by colorful graphics, vibrant characters, and fantastical themes. It encompasses a wide range of genres and targets various age groups, appealing to both children and adults. Anime can be presented in various formats, including television series, films, web series, and OVAs (original video animations).

The term is derived from the English word “animation,” but in Japan, it is used to describe all forms of animated works, regardless of origin. Outside of Japan, “anime” specifically refers to Japanese animation and is recognized for its distinctive visual styles, such as exaggerated facial expressions and intricate backgrounds. The storytelling in anime often involves complex narratives, emotional depth, and character development, making it popular worldwide.

Anime has developed a significant cultural influence, giving rise to fandoms, conventions, and a global industry, including merchandise and adaptations in various media.
