he word anime is the Japanese term for animation, which means all forms of animated media.[1]  Outside Japan, anime refers specifically to animation from Japan or as a Japanese-disseminated animation style often characterized by colorful graphics, vibrant characters and fantastical themes.[2] [3]  The culturally abstract approach to the word's meaning may open up the possibility of anime produced in countries other than Japan.[4] [5] [6]  For simplicity, many Westerners strictly view anime as a Japanese animation product.[3]  Some scholars suggest defining anime as specifically or quintessentially Japanese may be related to a new form of Orientalism.[7]
