Cletus' First Collegiate Dictionary of Japanese Chin Music

Anime

An abbreviated form of “animation.” In Japan, the term applies to all forms of animation – crude or sophisticated – from Doraemon to Hayao Miyazaki’s Spirited Away. In English, anime has come to be known as a Japanese invention, with its colorful and highly stylized form of animation and story lines that are often violent. Before the term anime entered the Japanese vocabulary, illustrated characters – animated or otherwise – were referred to as manga.
