An Introduction to Japanese Animation Serdar Yegulalp is a seasoned technology journalist who has covered anime for nearly a decade. The word anime — pronounced " ah- knee-may" — is an abbreviation of the word animation.
Because anime's so broad-reaching in its subject matter, it's possible to find anime aimed at just about every age group. Some titles are specifically for younger viewers or are suitable for all ages like the animated series "Pokémon" or Studio Ghibli film "My Neighbor Totoro" while others are aimed at teenage audiences and older like "InuYasha."
Japanese cultural attitudes about sexuality and violence require some titles to be placed a category higher than they might normally be. Nudity, for instance, is handled much more casually in Japan; sometimes a show that isn't meant specifically for adults will have material which may seem racy to Western viewers.
There are even some animes aimed at older teens like "Death Note" and some for mature audiences only like "Monster" and "Queens Blade.". Japanese cultural attitudes about sexuality and violence require some titles to be placed a category higher than they might normally be.
For decades, anime was produced by and for Japan — a local product, with a distinct look-and-feel to not just the artwork but the storytelling, the themes, and the concepts. Over the last forty years, it has become an international phenomenon, attracting millions of fans and being translated into many languages.
Because all things anime tend to be lumped together, it's tempting to think of anime as a genre. It isn't, at least no more than animation itself is a genre, but rather a description of how the material is produced. Anime shows, like books or movies, fall into any number of existing genres: comedy, drama, sci-fi, action-adventure, horror and so on.
What's most striking is how anime's impact is coming full circle. Some recent American cartoon productions, like "Avatar: The Last Airbender, " are openly inspired by anime itself, and live-action English-language versions of anime titles are starting to come into production more frequently.
