The word anime, which means animation in Japanese, is hand-drawn and computer animation hailing from Japan. Outside Japan, anime refers to animation from Japan or as a Japanese-inspired animation style that deals with colorful graphics and fantastical themes. The most popular anime series’ are Naruto, Manga, Bleach, Pokemon, Sailor Moon, and Dragon Ball, to name a few. Though they have different themes and audiences, what connects animes is their typical production of animation, including storyboarding, voice acting, and character design. Since the 1990s, computer animation has been used more frequently to improve the efficiency of the anime production process. Body proportions of human anime characters tend to reflect the proportions of real human bodies. Music — specifically Japanese pop or rock songs — also plays a big part in anime series.
