Anime is animation originating in Japan. The world outside Japan regards anime as "Japanese animation". Anime originated about 1917.
Anime, like manga (Japanese comics), has a large audience in Japan and high recognition throughout the world. Distributors can release anime via television broadcasts, directly to video, or theatrically, as well as online.
Both hand-drawn and computer-animated anime exist. It is used in television series, films, video, video games, commercials, and internet-based releases, and represents most, if not all, genres of fiction. Anime — popular in Asian countries such as Japan, China, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Philippines, and Indonesia — has also become widespread in countries in the Western World such as Australia, United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Norway, Russia, and Sweden.
