Anime (AH-nee-may or AN-nee-may)
n. -Short for "animation". Refers to "Japanese Animation", a genre/medium that has its roots in the 1960's when the Japanese began making television versions of their version of comics (manga). Unlike the "cartoon", America and other culture's counterpart to anime, much of the Japanese animation shown is one of deeper, sometimes more mature themes, including developed storylines, linear plots, and aspects of violence, sex, drama, and comedy (not unlike live-action films in the States). There are different kinds of anime and each kind embraces adifferent age group or group of people. In Japan, the medium is as much respected as the "live-action" genre of movies. In other cultures, anime has achieved a mostly cult following, though with the mainstream acceptance and awareness of such anime as Pokemon, Dragonball Z, Tenchi Muyo, and Perfect Blue, the anime movement continues to gain in strength and visibility.
HISTORY
Today, anime is alive and well, but also continuing to evolve and grow. In Japan, new series are shown on TV networks every day, with seemingly no end in sight, and well-established studios such as Toei still stand among newer animation studios to create new and exciting anime series. Though in 2001, an economical recession seems to have hit Japan, the anime medium is chugging along nicely, at least from an international point of view. The continued release of anime in Japan ensures its life even in the face of economic hardship.
Internationally, and especially in the West, the anime movement has grown to new heights at the start of the 21st century. Companies such as Bandai Entertainment, Viz Video, ADV Films, and Pioneer have become larger and more profitable than in previous years, able to release many popular series from Japan in both VHS and the new DVD format. An increasing fan base and plenty of future appealing releases has legitimized the existence of these tireless individuals who work to bring Japanese animation to other shores, in original Japanese and dubbed formats. The internet boom has also served to fuel awareness of anime, with sites like our own AnimeInfo.org and others helping to inform and cultivate interest in the medium, and others like Rightstuf.com and Animenation.com serving as vendors for anime-related merchandise. Anime conventions in the USA, such as the West Coast's Anime Expo, Midwest's Anime Central, and East Coast's Otakon have also been a factor in brining together anime fans of all ages in appreciation of the near 50 year old medium.
In the general public eye, anime is still making progress as a properly recognized medium. Though stereotypes and misrepresentations (as well as fair and objective stories) are still present in the mainstream media, the recognition of anime has still made progress from its roots in the 70's and even from the boom of the 80's and 90's. Akira, the 1988 cult hit, is being remastered for release worldwide and should be out very soon. Recent animated feature films "Perfect Blue" and "Princess Mononoke" have piqued the curiosity of many people not very familiar with anime (and in the case of "Princess Mononoke", mainstream actors were even cast as English dub voices). And Cartoon Network's Toonami, while criticized by some anime fans for broadcasting heavily edited and watered down anime series, has nevertheless served as a huge influence in the past year or so to bring in new anime fans, with its broadcasts of the "Tenchi Muyo" series, "Dragonball Z", "Gundam Wing", and "The Big O", among others.
With these and many more factors in place, the outlook looks very good for anime as it works to stay a fresh and exciting medium for many fans both nationally and internationally. The history of anime is a very progressive one, showing a medium that has changed and evolved so much over the years. The future, perhaps, may bring us to even more changes to benefit Japanese animation and its many fans.
