“Anime” is an abbreviation of the word “animation” but outside Japan refers specifically to Japanese animation.
Anime has many genres typically found in any mass media form. Such genres include action, adventure, children's stories, comedy, drama, erotica (more specifically ecchi or hentai), medieval fantasy, occult/horror, romance, and science fiction.
Most anime includes content from several different genres, as well as a variety of thematic elements. Thus, some series may be categorized under multiple genres. For example, Neon Genesis Evangelion might be considered to fall into the genres of post-apocalyptic, science fiction, mecha, and drama. A show may have a seemingly simple surface plot, but at the same time may feature a far more complex, deeper storyline and character development. It is not uncommon for an action themed anime to also involve humor, romance, and even social commentary.

♥ Anime ♥
I am sorry guys but I think that Anime is over rated. I'm in art school and the kids today draw like they are in Japan. Don't get me wrong it is a good influence but young artest need to get away from anime come up with there own style. Use Anime early Disney and maybe Looney Tunes to come up with your own style.
i dont like drawing i like watching it!!
But miguelg4472....Disney or Looney toon style......SUCKS!!!!!!!!
Disney cartoons were very influenial in the early days of manga, actually.
BRILLIANT!
i love it.
Yes it is.
Anime is life.
Without anime the world would be a much colder darker place.
anime is like a drug its awesome and addicting
not to be rude or anything but, I HATE ANIME!
i just dont understand whats so great about it, would someone care to explain?
The term "anime" simply encompasses all kinds of Japanese animation (especially these days). Therefore, that's a little bit like asking what's so great about films - there are great films, terrible films, silly films and deep films.
:)
hmmm good point, i supose i just dont realy like the style of art that it is based on. :)
It's based on puppies!
So if you hate anime then you must hate puppies, you evil person!
Anime is amazing. Flora, what anime have you seen?
