Ahem... Anime (アニメ?, [anime] ( listen); i/ˈænɨmeɪ/ o /ˈɑːnɨmeɪ/) is the Japanese abbreviated pronunciation of "animation." In Western countries, anime refers to a style of animación originating in Japan, characterized por colorful graphics and often featuring themes intended for an adult audience. The intended meaning of the word 'anime' sometimes varies, depending on the context, and does not necessarily define all examples of animación produced in Japan. While the earliest known Japanese animación dates to 1917, and many original Japanese animations 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 japón in the 1980s. Anime, like manga, has a large audience in japón and recognition throughout the world. Distributors can release anime via televisión broadcasts, directly to video, o theatrically, as well as online. Both hand-drawn and computer-animated anime exist. It is used in televisión 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.
