Unlike cartoons in other countries, intended mainly for viewing by children, most of the produced anime is designed for teenage and adult audiences, and in many respects due to this it has a high popularity in the world. Anime is distinguished by a characteristic manner of drawing characters and backgrounds. It is published in the form of television series, as well as films distributed on video media or intended for film screening. Plots can describe many characters, differ in a variety of places and eras, genres and styles.Sources for the plot of anime series are most often: manga (Japanese comics), light novel (light novel) or computer games (usually in the «visual novel» genre). A film adaptation usually retains the graphic style and other features of the original. Less commonly used are other sources, such as works of classical literature. There are also anime that have a completely original plot (in this case, the anime itself can serve as a source for creating book and manga versions of it). The meaning of the term «anime» may vary depending on the context. In Western countries, anime is the object of research by cultural scientists, sociologists and anthropologists — Eri Izawa, Scott Macleod, Susan Napier, Sharon Kinsella and others.
I first watched anime around 2020 and my first anime was Fairy Tail. Then there was naruto, and many other anime. I love anime, because anime has good drawing, a lot of cool moments. Many people think that anime is cartoons and it is for children, so I think that this is not so. If the anime would be for children, then why is it written on them that <<this is a format for viewers over sixteen or eighteen years old>>? This means that there is a lot of blood or adult things that children do not like.
