Anime 101 - Page 3

Anime sometimes called Japanimation, is hand-drawn and computer animation originating from Japan. Anime, which is a shortening of the English word animation, is used in Japan as a blanket term for all animated works, regardless of origin. Outside of Japan, the term is used either to refer to animated works produced in Japan, or to their common visual style, which has since been adopted by a minority of works produced in other countries.
