Anime, the animation art style founded in Japan many years ago has seen steady growth in overseas popularity. Recently, it has seen an exponential boom in American media.
Anime, known primarily for distinct action sequences and epic plotlines has come to America in many different forms. It began as adaptations for children with shows such as Gigantor, Astro Boy, and Speed Racer. However, over time, America has adapted other anime with more mature themes and suggestive elements. Anime itself has become so influential of an artform that we have American filmmakers such as the Wachowski Brothers creating films such as The Matrix which are rife with anime influence in both visual and scripting
And American media continues to import popular creations from Japan with distributors such as Viz media or Tokyopop and several other, dedicated to publishing classic Japanese creations for American masses.
