As in the West, Japanese animation tends to follow Japanese comic book styles (called ''[[manga]]''). ''Anime'' is divided into the same genres as ''manga'', with a heavy emphasis on violence and romance which blends seamlessly into softcore porn (and beyond).  

Anime is very similiar to Japanese comic books (or [[manga]]). So similiar in fact, that many mangas are adapted into animes and vice-versa. Some anime series are criticized for having overly sexual content, while others are criticized for being very violent. However, many anime series are regarded highly for their social commentary, and deep storyline ([[Paranoia Agent]] for example).
