| | Anime |
 | | Anime is characterized by stark, colorful graphics and stylized, colorful images depicting vibrant characters in a variety of different settings and story-lines, aimed at a wide range of audiences. |
 | | Anime is often an explicitly commercial art form; producers and marketers aim for very specific audiences, with focused categories for shonen (boys) and shojo (girls) genres, as well as for teenagers and adults. |
 | | Most TV series anime episodes will have opening credits, closing credits, and often an "eyecatch", a very short scene, often humorous or silly, that is used to signal the start or end of the commercial break (as "bumpers" in the United States are used in a similar fashion). |
