Japanese Anime 漫画, 動画

Anime is the Japanese word for Animation. In Japan, the animation industry is much more towards the forefront than it is in the United States, and shows covering virtually every genre can be found in the form of television shows, Original Animation Videos (OAVs or OVAs) and feature films. Much like any other entertainment medium, Japanese anime can range from the very silly to the very serious, and is not necessarily intended for children or any specific age group.
