      Chapter 1 - The Meaning of Anime

      If you have been watching Bleach, Inuyasha, Studio Ghibli's Productions, you already have an idea of anime.  But if you have been moved by the works of the Japanese animators or Mangakas (Manga Artists) because of their peculiar 'Wow Factor' and are curious to know more about Japanese animation, this is for you.

      Anime is a synonym for this very stylized form of Japanese animation. Why did I use the word 'stylized'?  Well, if you compare Japanese animation to Western animation, the former uses less key frames (depends since Miyazaki's works does not tend to do that), more variety of angles and have that totally different face type with amazing eyes.

      The Walt Disney Production of 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs influenced many Japanese animators in the mid-20th century.  The Father of Japanese Manga, as he is often called, Osamu Tezuka (creator of the famous Astro Boy), simplified the Disney animation technique and a new form of animation evolved out of it. The word anime, henceforth became a banner for Japanese animation worldwide, be it from animated episodes or to full-fledged animation
