The Japanese Anime

“Anime” is the combination and abbreviation of the two words animation and comic, for they are become close to each other as times go by and other languages are seldom to use , both of the two are been called anime. Anime is commonly defined as animation originating in Japan. Cosplay is a special ramification of anime.

Today I will introduce you something about Japan’ anime.
While the earliest known Japanese animation dates to 1917, and many original Japanese cartoons were produced in the ensuing decades, the characteristic anime style developed in the 1960s—notably with the work of Osamu Tezuka—and became known outside Japan in the 1980s.

Anime, like manga, has a large audience in Japan and recognition throughout the world. Distributors can release anime via television broadcasts, directly to video, or theatrically, as well as online.
Both hand-drawn and computer-animated anime exist. It is used in television series, films, video, video games, commercials, and internet-based releases, and represents most, if not all, genres of fiction. As the market for anime increased in Japan, it also gained popularity in East and Southeast Asia. Anime is currently popular in many different regions around the world.
