What is animation?

Animation &; Comics), "Animation = Animation+Comics", that is, the collective name of animation and comics, refers to the collection of animation and comics. Combining the first word of these two words into one is not a technical term. It is also often called "cartoon" in Taiwan Province province.

The word "anime" was first used in formal occasions, and it was first published in 1998+065438+ 10, a monthly magazine of animation information in Chinese mainland. This word was later spread by You Man magazine and became popular in Chinese mainland because of its generality.

The emergence of the word "animation" is mainly due to the close relationship between Japanese animation and comic industry. Therefore, in the process of Japanese animation and comics spreading in China, the magazine Animation Times, which integrates Japanese animation and comics consultation, appeared.

Therefore, "anime" was originally used by Japanese anime lovers to refer to Japanese comics and cartoons. However, with the development of animation industry in China, there are more and more occasions to mention animation in China.

There are many English versions of "Animation", and "Animation Age" is "Animation &; Comics ",Comics of China Animation Publishing Association &; Animation ",China International Cartoon & Animation Festival is known as" cartoon &; Animation.

Now in Chinese mainland, many people confuse the concepts of "animation" and "animation" and think that animation is animation, which is actually a wrong view. "Animation" can indeed be simplified as "animation", but "animation" is actually a combination of "animation" and "comics", not all animations.

However, due to the fuzziness of parts of speech and the dual attributes of words themselves, people will have different misunderstandings, resulting in various differences. Therefore, in the use of specific works, we should use "comics" and "animation" or "careless correction" and "original comic animation" to distinguish.
