    Anime (Japanese: , [aime] ( listen), plural: anime)[a] is a Japanese term for

    hand-drawn or computer animation. The word is the abbreviated pronunciation of


    "animation" in Japanese, where this term references all animation.[1] 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.[2][3] Arguably, the culturally abstract approach to the word's
    meaning may open up the possibility of anime produced in countries other than
    Japan.[4][5][6] For simplicity, many Westerners strictly view anime as a Japanese animation
    product.[3] Some scholars suggest defining anime as specifically or quintessentially
    Japanese may be related to a new form of orientalism.[7]
    The earliest commercial Japanese animation dates to 1917, and Japanese anime
    production has since continued to increase steadily. The characteristic anime art style
    emerged in the 1960s with the works of Osamu Tezuka and spread internationally in the
    late twentieth century, developing a large domestic and international audience. Anime is
    distributed theatrically, by way of television broadcasts, directly to home media, and over
    the Internet. It is classified into numerous genres targeting diverse broad and niche
    audiences.
    Anime is a diverse art form with distinctive production methods and techniques that have
    been adapted over time in response to emergent technologies. It consists of an ideal
    story-telling mechanism, combining graphic art, characterization, cinematography, and
    other forms of imaginative and individualistic techniques.[8] The production of anime
    focuses less on the animation of movement and more on the realism of settings as well
    as the use of camera effects, including panning, zooming, and angle shots. Being hand-
    drawn, anime is separated from reality by a crucial gap of fiction that provides an ideal
    path for escapism that audiences can immerse themselves into with relative ease. [8]
    Diverse art styles are used and character proportions and features can be quite varied,
    including characteristically large emotive or realistically sized eyes.
    The anime industry consists of over 430 production studios, including major names like
    Studio Ghibli, Gainax, and Toei Animation. Despite comprising only a fraction of Japan's
    domestic film market, anime makes up a majority of Japanese DVD sales. It has also
    seen international success after the rise of English-dubbed programming. This rise in
    international popularity has resulted in non-Japanese productions using the anime art
    style, but these works are usually described as anime-influenced animation rather than
    anime proper.
