Anime is a style of animation that originated in Japan. In Japan, the term anime is used to describe all animated works, regardless of style or origin. However, outside Japan, anime refers specifically to animation produced in Japan. Anime is characterized by its distinct art style, which includes large eyes, untamed hair, lengthy arms and limbs, and other exaggerated features that allow characters to convey their emotions more freely. Technical animation methods like dramatic closeups and zooms, vivid lighting, and brilliant colors contribute to the anime’s emotional atmosphere.
