Anime is a term for Japanese
animation. Anime often covers more serious topics than the typical cartoon. In
America, cartoons are considered a form of entertainment meant for children. In
Japan, people of all ages watch anime. Most shows and movies are centered for
kids, adolescents, or young adults, but there are also many anime that are made
for the older crowd, even businessmen. There are many genres in anime with
basic categories like comedy, romance, action, drama, and pornography (hentai).
There are also anime with content meant specifically for boys (shounen), girls
(shoujo), and businessmen. For more detailed explanations of the types of
anime, take a look at our Genres section and hopefully you will learn something
while viewing some great pictures.
Anime is not just movies;
publishers release anime in many formats. There are movies, and television
shows. Don't let the direct-to-video aspect of OVAs fool you, they aren't
low-budget sequels trying to capitalize on the success of a movie. Many of them
are high-quality stories that can't be properly condensed into a feature-length
movie, and the stories are generally more intricate than those found in a daily
or weekly half-hour television show. Anime have original stories while others
draw their stories and characters from Japanese comic books (manga).
