The word 'anime' is the Japanese term for animation, and refers to animation from Japan, or in the Japanese-disseminated animation style characterised by colourful graphics, vibrant characters and fantastical themes. Originally emerging in the 1960s with shows such as Astro Boy, it was popularised internationally in the late twentieth century.

The Anime artform is diverse, with distinctive production techniques that have adapted and evolved over time to keep up with new emerging technologies. The production of anime focuses less on movement, and more on the realism of settings and camera effects.

Today, the Anime industry in Japan consists of over 430 production studios. Enjoying immense success in both Japanese and international markets, Anime now accounts for 60% of the world's animated television content.
