Anime-influenced animation

Anime-influenced animation refers to non-Japanese works of animation that emulate the visual style of anime.cite web|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/editorial/2002-07-26|title=What is anime?|date=2002-07-26|accessdate=2007-08-18|work=ANN] Due to Western culture, the term "anime" has been coined to explicitly refer to Japanese animation. [cite web|url=http://www.animenation.net/news/askjohn.php?id=1318|title=What is anime?|date=2006-05-15|accessdate=2007-08-18|work=AnimeNation] These works are created in North America, Europe, and non-Japanese Asia. With the rise of anime's popularity in Western civilization, it has become an integrated part of western animation produced.

Background

In the West, particularly in the United States, the term anime has been generally accepted to describe animation produced explicitly in Japan. [cite web|url=http://www.animenation.net/news/askjohn.php?id=1318|title=Ask John: How Should the Word Anime Be Defined?|date=2006-05-15|accessdate=2007-08-18|work=Animenation] As anime became increasingly popular, Western animation studios began implementing some visual stylizations typical in anime-- such as exaggerated facial expressions and "super deformed" versions of characters. In particular, works like Teen Titans and Batman Beyond displayed some characteristics of anime.cite web|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/answerman/2003-10-17|title=Ms. Answerman: The Internet Question Massacre|date=2003-10-17|accessdate=2007-08-09|work=Rebecca Bundy, ANN] Particularly for Batman Beyond, some of its production processes were outsourced in Japan.

The advent of anime stylizations appearing in Western animation questioned the established meaning of "anime".

Resemblance to anime

Due to anime influence, Western animation adopted some techniques and features from anime. The resemblances to anime were strong enough to question whether these works can be deemed as anime or not.

There are several Western animators who collaborated with anime creators while producing Western animations. For example, production on "The Animatrix" began when the Wachowski brothers visited some of the creators of the anime films that had been a strong influence on their work, and decided to collaborate with them.
