About Anime

Collection of Anime Wallpapers which is free to download. This Anime Gallery we will be update in near future. We're already prepearing expanded section with many subcategories of Anime Wallpapers.

The word anime appears from written form in three katakana characters a, ni, me. Etymology was generally traced to an abbreviation of the Japanese transliteration of the English word animation. Internationally, anime once bore the popular name Japanimation, but this term has fallen into disuse. It saw the most usage during the 1970s and 1980s, which broadly comprise the first and second waves of anime fandom. The term survived at least into the early 1990s but seemed to fade away shortly before the mid-1990s anime resurgence. In general, the term now only appears in nostalgic contexts.

The term Japanimation is much more commonly used in Japan to refer to domestic animation. Since anime or animeshon is used to describe all forms of animation, Japanimation is meant to distinguish Japanese work from that of the rest of the world.
