You *do* know that "anime" is merely an abbreviation of the word "animation", don't you?

[Assiman]

Do you people even know what anime means? You all sound so retarded

@BrainTetsujin17 It may have started the artistic idea but the idea of the stroylines and character development started with Tetsuwan Atom (Astro Boy) This is not stating manga but anime an a form of televised media other than a published work such as a manga.

@SlanderBlast

the current style of anime originated in gekiga (realistic manga) that originated in around the 70s and kamishibai (japanese traditional paper drama) that originated in the 12th (?) century.

@Grasanta Anime was originized in around the 20's but the current style we see today was not introduced until

(Tetswuan Atomu) in the 1960's which helped start modern anime.

Anime is a short for "animation", but in the occidental world the word is used to refer to japanese animation.

They do have these in English subtitles. I watch NHK World and I saw an infomersial sell this DVD in a box set for I think about $300. There are 3-5 minute samples of a lot of old anime, and the second and third samples from this video were featured.

(Not trying to change the subject, but is it just me or does the last clip from this video look like a family of obese Mickey Mouses? e.e)

@Grasanta I'd say the change started in manga around about when Tezuka came about.

@naruanimefan3 Anime is just short for animation. Therefore anime can refer to any animation no matter where it is made (basically what Terangeree said). Also anime is not just one drawing style. You say "compare Bleach to SpongeBob," but can you really say something like K-On has the same art style as something like Dragon Ball Z or Death Note, or something like SpongeBob has the same style as Watership Down (though it is British, hehe)?

Does anyone know, when anime goes into the direction we know today. In 1920-1940 it looked just like the american cartoons, which were made at this time.

[naruanimefan3]

Anime is ONLY JAPANESE CARTOONS U FOOLS, im sick of people getting it wrong, AMERICAN CARTOONS ARE JUST cartoons, or forms of animation,, THEY WIL NEVER BE ANIME, because Anime/Manga is a specific drawing style, far more sophisticated, just compare  the anime" bleach" to spongebob, i think u will all see how different and better anime is, JAPAN MADE ANIME, the U.S. never made an anime
