An anime, or anime (アニメ), also sometimes called japanime or japanimation, refers to an animated series or animated film from Japan. Anime, like manga, has a large audience in Japan and is easily recognizable around the world.

In Japan, anime means animation in the broadest sense, including foreign, and covers all media (movies, TV series, OVA). In the West, the term anime refers specifically to Japanese animation. However, directors Isao Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki prefer to define their animated feature films as manga eiga, as opposed to the less well-made TV anime.

Anime is very popular in Japan: in 2001, Chihiro's Journey broke the record for popularity in this country, beating the film Titanic. Since then, the record has been broken by the movie Demon Slayer: Infinity Train. Among the successful films are those from Studio Ghibli, founded by Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata, including The Voyage of Chihiro, The Castle in the Sky, The Moving Castle, Princess Mononoke, which can be considered masterpieces of the genre.

Very often, they are related to a manga: either the anime is based on a successful manga, or a manga is created from a popular anime. Sometimes both are created at the same time. Other series, like Medabots, or more recently Tokyo Demon Campus, are inspired by video games. Finally, many anime are also inspired by successful visual novels, such as Clannad, Fate/Stay Night, Ef: A Fairy Tale of the Two and Phantom of Inferno, which were adapted into anime following their commercial success.

History

The history of anime begins at the beginning of the 20th century, in 1917, made by a few pioneers following in the footsteps of Westerners, especially from France. After some experiments, a long period followed where the production was reduced to a few short films, some orders from the army or theaters.

With the end of the war, the industry ceased to be anti-American and became the second largest producer in the world after the United States.

In the 1950s, the Tōei Dōga or Toei Animation appeared, the largest animation studio in Japan. In the same decade, the Japanese industry specializes for the two markets that are the export and the local market.

It was not until 1963 that Astro Boy appeared, an animated series adapted from Osamu Tezuka's manga: Astro, the little robot. It was the first major animated series with recurring characters in a continuous story. Or King Leo (1965), the first Japanese animated series in color. Tetsujin 28-gō also became famous in Japan.

The 1970s saw the explosion of big franchises like Lupin III (1971-1972) and mecha series: Mazinger Z (1972-1974), Yamato (1974-1975), or Mobile Suit Gundam (1979-1980). The 1980s saw a strong development of space opera. We look at Macross (1982), which will be used by Harmony Gold to create its Robotech in 1985, Lamu by Mamoru Oshii (1984). Studio Ghibli makes a name for itself with The Castle in the Sky (1986), two years after Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (1984), both by Hayao Miyazaki, and the otaku appear. We also see Tomb of the Fireflies (1987), Akira (1988) or Kiki the little witch (1989). The OVAs appear, the hentai too.

The 1990s are marked by several shocking works, very sought after: Neon Genesis Evangelion by Hideaki Anno (1995) dealing with philosophical subjects, Ghost in the Shell by Oshii (1995), Cowboy Bebop (1998) or Serial experiments Lain (1998). The end of the 1990s and the 2000s saw a strong return of commercial works, using well-known schemes, essentially targeting a very young audience and having proved their worth: Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh! (1997), Digimon (1999), Beyblade (2001), or even Mahoromatic (2001).

But there is also a recognition of anime around the world: the animated masterpiece Chihiro's Journey received the 1st prize at the 2002 Berlin Film Festival and won the Oscar for best animated film in 2003, and Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence was selected for the 2004 Cannes Film Festival.

Recently anime also aims at a certain reality, especially those with the main theme of sports, from the first in 1984 (Jeanne and serge) to today (Haikyū, Yuri on Ice and other).These are one of the types of anime that are closest to reality in some aspects, for example by the names of the techniques and sports represented. We find the primordial Japanese aspects such as the respect of the hierarchy, of the discipline and the sense of effort. All of this is balanced by comical winks in the serious moments, and over time they have become increasingly well known, to the point of inspiring new vocations.

Features

Japanese animated films can have particular characteristics about the target audience, the sometimes low-cost production techniques as well as gender and violence issues.

The Japanese animation industry targets an adult audience whereas in the West the animation industry targets a child audience.

The Japanese animation industry benefits from low-cost production techniques, such as low frame rates, or fixed shots on characters, which allow for a reduction in the number of images to be produced.

These low costs have allowed it to be competitive for the animation of Western stories. But other Japanese animation films are based on different cultural concepts.

On the issue of gender, Japanese animated films have as many female heroines as male heroes, however, they are very gendered.

On the question of violence, Japanese animated films have, in France, had the reputation of not being suitable for youth programs, because of their violent character. This issue has been defended by ministers like Ségolène Royal.
