Anime is a term used to describe the style of Japanese animation and has been around since the early 20th century. Now, anime and its comic book counterpart, manga, are hugely successful in Japan and beyond with an industrial worth of over 15 billion US dollars. Anime does not only include TV series for children, but also adult’s TV shows and even movies. A few examples of blockbuster anime movies include Studio Ghibli’s highly acclaimed Spirited Away (2001) or the recent popular hit Your Name(2016).
Drawing styles vary depending on artists, but anime characters are usually recognisable by their large eyes, often colourful hair, and small nose and mouth. In Japan, people of all ages and from all walks of life have watched some form of anime at some point and it has become part of their modern culture. Anime series are usually filled with interesting characters along with a captivating story that can make the viewer laugh or cry.
Anime also covers a huge range of genres, including drama, romance, horror, and science-fiction. Some anime shows even have more unusual genres such as cyberpunk and mecha (featuring robots). In western countries, anime is seen not only as a Japanese series of animation but it has also come to define an art style that the Japanese use as well.
