people might wonder what does the word “anime” mean? what is the difference between anime and cartoon? in anime for kids?
to answer these question we have to first identify the meaning of anime. “
Anime is hand-drawn and computer animation originating from or associated with Japan. The word anime is the Japanese term for animation, which means all forms of animated media”. so anime is similar to cartoons in a sense but it is still different. anime is mainly targeted to more older ages as well as children. The major differences between anime and cartoons are the background, the character, and the plot. cartoon is more intended to make people laugh and made in a comical way, like SpongeBob. while Anime concentrates mostly on life issues or things tied closer to human emotion. that doesn’t mean that all anime shows are serious and focus on life issues, but a big portion of it does. there are a lot of shows that concentrate on super natural powers, super natural events and even to make people laugh as well. it simply comes in ALL genres just like regular movies.
