Japanese Anime: Anime is the Japanese abbreviation of 'animation'. The definition sometimes changes depending on the context. In English-speaking countries, the term most  commonly refers to Japanese animated cartoons. While the earliest known Japanese animation dates to 1917, and many original Japanese cartoons were produced in the ensuing decades, however the anime style we know was developed in the 1960s. Both hand-drawn and computer animated anime exist.
