Description

This article is from the misc anime FAQ, by nikkou with numerous contributions by others.

1.1. Isn't 'anime' a French word?

Well, it is, but the Japanese 'anime' is a loanword adapted from the English word 'animation'. The Japanese use it to refer to all animated works, but 'anime' has been adopted by the majority of English speakers to refer only to Japanese animation. Geddit? Please don't make me repeat that again...

The range of Japanese animation made is rather like that for TV. It is used for both education and entertainment, some are a happy medium of both. There are programmes made for children, teenagers, young adults to those of a certain age. *ahem*
