‘Anime’ is a catch-all reference to Japanese animation. Specifically, it is the artistic medium which takes the art style and stories from manga (Japanese comics) and animates them for television or theatre exhibition. While technically, anime is a cartoon, often is geared towards both kids and adults. Most anime contains elements from almost all story genres – science fiction, fantasy, drama, romance, horror, etc., which is one of the reasons anime has garnered much attention from both critics and fans.
