The Japanese animation industry has attracted much interest in the West, with English-speaking fans avidly adopting Japanese terminology such as anime (short for "animation").
The best known anime director in Japan is Hayao Miyazaki, famous for "My Neighbor Totoro" and "Spirited Away".
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).
