The word Anime first came from Japan around 1917.
This word defines animation, otherwise known as Japanese animation.
Animation would be considered to be cartoons.
The little models in these cartoons move seamlessly, so they are animated.
Some fans had called anime Japanimation at one moment, but this name is hardly spoken of now.
In the past, there was a person who showed folks how to sketch cartoons and make them appear as if they had come alive.
This was done by drawing many cartoon shots on several pages and then they were synchronized into a book.
When the pages in the book were flipped, by using the thumb and grasping it with the fingers, the images changed just enough as each page turned and the cartoons were anime.
Now this can be done by utilizing computers.
This animation comes in many forms now.
They are on TV, videos, video games, and on the world wide web.
Back in 1917, there was an anime clip that was only 2 minutes long.
It was concerning a Samurai who had a new sword and the clip reveals how he was trying the blade on an object and the clip reveals that he did not end up victorious.
This was the starting anime clip to exist, created by the Japanese.
When these films first came out, there was no sound with them.
Now there is voice to go with the animations.
Walt Disney is one of the most popular companies who showed a multitude of anime cartoons.
One of the first ones was The Seven Dwarfs, a very popular one today.
