Introduction

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. Anime is a style of
Japanese film and television animation, typically aimed at adults as well as children. In Japanese, anime
is written as “アニメ” (literally, “anime”) and is short for the word “animation” (アニメーション or
“animeeshon”). The rub is how the word is used, both in Japan and abroad. Shortening words is common
in Japanese.

Anime is a word used by people living outside of Japan to describe cartoons or animation produced
within Japan. Using the word in English conversation is essentially the same as describing something as a
Japanese cartoon series or an animated movie or show from Japan. The word itself is simply the
Japanese word for cartoon or animation and in Japan is used by people to describe all cartoons
regardless of country of origin. For example, a Japanese person would think of Sailor Moon and Disney's
Frozen as both being anime, not as two different things from separate genres.

age demographics, with series like Doraemon, Glitter Force, and Pokemon targeting the under seven-
year-old age bracket, and others like Attack on Titan, Fairy Tail, and Naruto Shippuden being made to
appeal to teenagers and older. By Brad Stephenson
