Origin:

The origin of an anime is  different from that of a cartoon. Anime originated in Japan.  The trend of anime arose early in 20th century. The early works of Japanese animation (most of which were destroyed as a result of 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake) are quite different from the anime of contemporary times of today. With the passing time, the techniques that have been implemented to produce an anime have also evolved. Many animators in Japan were inspired by the success of Walt Disney’s ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’ and one of them is the famous manga (Japanese comic books) artist and animator Osamu Tezuka who has successfully used Disney animation techniques by modifying them in a simple manner to reduce costs and limit the number of frames for production. Since 1970s, ‘mangas’ have become so popular that they have been adapted into an anime at an enormous scale. And this trend of adaption is still being practiced in Japan and has further evolved by producing these ‘mangas’ and ‘anime’ in live action movies.
