Although anime started in Japan, it has moved from east to west and now, anime is made all over the world. When was anime invented?Īnime is simply just the shortened form of the word ‘animation’. The Land of the Rising Sun was the birthplace of anime and plenty of young individuals and even adults have found themselves addicted to watching anime television series, films, or reading anime graphic novels.


In Japan, anime addiction has been given the name Otaku and the word is used to describe anyone suffering from the affliction. The truth is, anime addiction is very real and can be dangerous (like videogame addiction) to those suffering from it.

How can someone seriously be addicted to anime? The same thing was once said about videogames. Anime addiction is treated by many individuals with a laugh and a roll of the eyes.
