What is anime?

Anime refers to Japanese animation. The actual word is borrowed form the French term for animation. Japanese animation is a distinctive form of animation that is almost always noticeable by either the style or quality. Unlike American animation, not all anime is targeted to young audiences. Subjects in anime range from the obscene to the cute, because Japanese censorship laws are different from other countries.




Some examples of anime include:
Astroboy
Spirited Away
Pokemon
Dragon Ball Z
Love Hina
Gundamn Wing



History of Anime:

The history of anime begins at the beginning of the 20th Century when Japanese filmmakers began experimenting with the animation techniques that were being developed in the West. During the 1970s anime developed further, separating itself and developing unique genres. In the 1980s, anime was accepted in the mainstream Japanese population and therefore experienced a boom in production. The 1990s and 2000s was an increased acceptance of anime in overseas markets.
