Introduction: What is Anime?

Anime refers to animation from Japan or any other East Asian country. It's an abbreviation for "animation."

Anime is a form of art and entertainment that consists of drawings or computer-generated images that are highly stylized, often with exaggerated physical features, colors, and movements. Anime also relies heavily on the suspension of disbelief, so you may find some actions that appear inhuman or impossible in real life.

Where did Anime come from?

Anime is a form of art created and popularized in Japan. It is usually hand-drawn, then animated. The word "anime" is short for "animation." There are many theories about the origins and meaning of anime, but no definitive answer has been determined. Due to its widespread domestic popularity and use in television series, animated films, and video games, anime has become an important part of Japan's cultural exports.

The anime genre is so popular now that it has spread to the Western world over the years. 

A recent study conducted by Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI) found that in 2017, Japan’s animation industry created over ¥3 trillion ($27 billion) in economic output (the most since 2008). The popularity of manga and anime may be one reason why tourism to Japan has increased as well. Volcanic activity aside, there are plenty of compelling reasons for tourists to visit Tokyo nowadays. Anime can be addictive because it's imaginative, and calming and allows viewers an escape from reality into a world that is more colorful than their own reality.

Fullmetal Alchemist (Japanese: 鋼の錬金術師, Hepburn: Hagane no Renkinjutsushi) is a Japanese anime television series loosely adapted from the original manga series of the same name by Hiromu Arakawa. Comprising 51 episodes, it was produced by the animation studio Bones for Mainichi Broadcasting System and Aniplex, and directed by Seiji Mizushima.

As in the manga, the series follows the adventures of brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric, who are searching for the Philosopher's Stone so they can regain the bodies they lost in a failed attempt to bring their dead mother back to life. During production, Arakawa requested an original ending for the anime that differed from the manga, which was still ongoing at the time. This led to the series deviating into an entirely original storyline direction halfway through its run. The first anime series concluded with a direct sequel film, Conqueror of Shamballa, released in 2005. A second anime series, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, which faithfully adapted the entire storyline of the original manga, was broadcast in 2009.

The series aired in Japan on Fuji TV from April 1989 to January 1996 and was later dubbed for broadcast in at least 81 countries worldwide.

Dragon Ball Z continues the adventures of Goku in his adult life as he and his companions defend the Earth against villains including aliens (Vegeta, Frieza), androids (Cell), and magical creatures (Majin Buu). At the same time, the story parallels the life of his son, Gohan, as well as the development of his rivals, Piccolo and Vegeta.

Due to the success of the anime in the United States, the manga chapters making up its story were initially released by Viz Media under the Dragon Ball Z title. The anime's popularity has also spawned numerous media and merchandise that has come to represent the majority of content within the Dragon Ball franchise. Dragon Ball Z remains a cultural icon through numerous adaptations and re-releases, including a remastered broadcast titled Dragon Ball Z Kai.

Anime is big business in the entertainment industry. It has taken many strides and become one of the most influential forms of media that have ever existed. Anime is not just for kids anymore.

Anime has always been an important part of my life, and I am grateful for this chance to share my love for it with all of you.

One thing I want to say is that anime is not just a form of entertainment. It is a way of life. Anime has the power to change someone's life in every aspect: their words, their movements, and even their heart. This belief has been held by fans throughout the world for many years now.

Hats off to all anime lovers as dedicated anime fans. With every single season filled with tens of new anime series, we are spoiled for choice when it comes to picking which one we want to watch next.

Do tell us in the comments about your favorite animes as we love to hear from you. Have a great day!!!
