Anime is a style of animation that originated in Japan and has become popular worldwide. Characterized by colorful artwork, vibrant characters, and fantastical themes, anime can encompass a wide range of genres and target audiences. Unlike traditional Western animation, which often prioritizes children’s entertainment, anime includes content aimed at diverse age groups, covering genres such as action, romance, horror, fantasy, and science fiction.
Anime can be presented in various formats, including television series, films, web series, and OVAs (original video animations). It often features distinct artistic styles, with exaggerated facial expressions, unique character designs, and dynamic action sequences. Many anime series are adapted from manga (Japanese comics) or light novels, and they frequently explore complex themes and character development.

Globally, anime has fostered a dedicated fanbase and has influenced various aspects of pop culture, leading to the emergence of conventions, merchandise, and subcultures surrounding its unique aesthetic and storytelling approach.
