Anime is a form of animation created in Japan, which explains why it used to be called Japanimation. Anime’s history began at the start of the 20th century, when when Japanese filmmakers began trying out new animation techniques that were being used in the Western world. Anime did not reach mainstream status until the 1980s. Since then, it has blown up not only in Japan, but around the globe.

Most anime series find their foundations in manga, or Japanese comics. These mangas are usually a few episodes ahead of the actual television series and have become popular among international audiences as well.
