Anime is a style of animation that originated in Japan and features vibrant art, colorful characters, and fantastical themes. Unlike Western animation, which is often targeted primarily at children, anime encompasses a wide range of genres and themes, appealing to various age groups and demographics. Anime can be broadcast on television, distributed through home video formats, or streamed online, and it often includes both series and films. The storytelling in anime can be complex, with intricate plots and character development, and it frequently explores deep emotional themes and social issues. Anime is influenced by manga, Japanese comic books or graphic novels, which often serve as the source material for many anime adaptations. The genre has gained global popularity, contributing to a large subculture and fan community outside of Japan.
