What can I say about anime?

Anime is traditionally hand drawn, but computer assisted techniques have become quite common in recent years. It represent most major genres of fiction, and it is available in most motion-picture media like television broadcast, DVD, and VHS distribution and full lenght motion pictures.

As an art form, anime places a large emphasis towards visual styles. They can vary from artist to artist or by studio to studio. Some titles make extensive use of common stylization: FLCL, for example, is known for its wild, exaggerated stylization. To make it more realistic, featuring few stylistic exaggerations.

Different artists have their own artistic styles, many stylistic elements have become so common such that they are described as being definitive of anime in general. Another stylistic element is that use of lines. In anime the lines are often influenced more from a stylistic look from brush work, rather than that of the calligrapher’s pen. This may be due to the fact that Japanese was traditionally written with a brush and has had a large influence on Japanese art, thus how the lines are treated tend to be different from the Western art. The influences of these things can most influentially be seen in the amount of tapering and thickness of the lines involved.

Anime also tends to borrow many elements from manga including text in the background, and borrowing panel layouts from the manga as well.  . However, this does not mean that all modern anime share one common art style. It has many genres typically in any mass media form. Such genres include action,which primarily focuses on battles, war, and physical competition. Martial arts, weapon fighting, or other action oriented material are usually featured. Examples: Naruto or One Piece. The adventure, children’s stories, comedy, drama,which primarily has a high degree of character development and emotional themes. Many center around relationship complications. Examples: Fushigi Yugi or InuYasha.,medieval fantasy, horror which is use darker and/or supernatural themes. Examples: Vampire Hunter D series or Chrono Crusade.,game based which primarily revolves around some sort of card or board game. Examples: Yu-Gi-Oh! or Hikaru No Go.The romance and science fiction, which consists of futuristic elements, particularly featuring future science and technology. They can be drawn from current scientific studies and inventions or created to meet the needs of the world. Examples: Ghost in the Shell or Wings of Honneamise. It has become commercially profitable in western countries as early commercially successful western adaptations of anime.

The basics of anime is based on traditional animation or the oldest and historically the most popular form of animation. In a traditionally-animated cartoon, each frame is drawn by hand. While anime is considered separate from cartoons, anime still uses multiple still images in rapid succession to produce the animated visual effect, like all animation. Anime is often considered a form of limited animation. That means that stylistically, even in bigger productions the conventions of limited animation are used to fool the eye into thinking there is more movement than there is.
