Anime
Anime is the modern term used for animation originated in Japan. It was coined in the middle of twentieth century. In earlier periods, animation used to be introduced as senga (line art), kuga (flip pictures), dekobō shin gachō (mischievous new pictures), chamebō-zu (playful pictures), and later they came to be known as manga-eiga (cartoon films) and dōga (moving pictures). Anime has various modes of media production, ranging from advertisements to webisodes and short five minute episode television series, and are most commonly produced as half hour serialized episodes made for television. It is also referred to as Japan’s “greatest cultural export”. People who are heavily interested in anime are called otaku.
