What Is Anime?
The word “Anime” is a short term used to denote the Japanese word animēshon, which means “animation.” Many people misinterpret them as cartoons, but in actuality, all anime are cartoons, but not all cartoons are anime.
The rich graphics, fruitful designs, vibrant colors, thematic songs, and incredible storyline make anime a dynamic center of entertainment. However, sometimes, they can include scenes that are intended for adults.
Anime can be movies or series based on manga of the same name or related. Generally, there are seasons of series containing chapters and volumes from the manga (anime book).
For example, the Demon Slayer: Hashira Training Arc is based on chapters 128–136 of the original manga.
