Anime is a term derived from English, which itself is an abbreviation of "animation". It was coined by Japanese artist Osamu Tezuka, often referred to as the "God of Manga", and gained widespread use after World War II. This term specifically refers to animation originating in Japan, but it has since evolved to encompass animated works produced outside of Japan that adhere to the style or genre's conventions. Anime can range from action-adventure to comedy, drama, horror, and sci-fi, appealing to a diverse audience worldwide.
