Anime (Japanese: アニメ) is a type of animation which basically originated from Japan. Anime is known as animation outside of Japan, but if an animated work is produced directly from Japan, no matter what style it has, it'll be referred to as Anime.[1] If an animated work is produced outside of Japan but it has anime style graphics, it'll be referred to as anime-influenced animation.
More than 400 Japanese studios started producing anime; some of them are Toei Animation, Studio Pierrot, Zero-G, and many more. After 1980, anime became popular among international audiences and started getting subs and dubs, so that international audiences could understand it. In 2016, anime accounted for 60% of the world's animated series.[2]
