Anime in English usually refers to a style of animation originating in Japan,^[1] heavily influenced by the manga (Japanese comics) style and typically featuring characters with large eyes, big hair and elongated limbs, exaggerated facial expressions, brush-stroked outlines, limited motion and other distinctive features.

The word comes from Japanese アニメ anime, meaning "animation" in general, and is typically pronounced /ˈænəˌmeɪ/ (help·info) or /ˈænəˌmə/ in English.

While the earliest known Japanese animation dates from 1917,^[2] and many original Japanese cartoons were produced in the ensuing decades, the charateristic anime style developed in the 1960s - notably with the work of Osamu Tezuka - and became known outside Japan in the 1980s.

Anime, like manga, has a large audience in Japan and high recognition throughout the world.^{[citation needed]} Distributors can release anime via television broadcasts, directly to video, or theatrically, as well as online.

Anime gained early^[when?] popularity in East and Southeast Asia and has garnered more-recent popularity in the Western World.^{[citation needed]}
