The anime also broadcasted across channels in Europe and Africa in Spring 2016, after the anime became a success in North America.[1]

## Subject: Anime

Anime is short for the Japanese word for "animation". The word is typically used to describe Japanese cartoons, the majority of them being modern 2D CG animated, but this stereotype is not necessary. Other countries have created their own shows that are considered anime among the general anime audiences. A few of these are Miraculous LadyBug (France), The Legend of Korra (America), Balala the Fairies (China), and Winx Club (Italy).

Anime is divided into ratings, just like American cartoons. Each rating has an equal amount of content, more or less. Some examples: TV-Y would be Hello Kitty, TV-Y7 would be Pretty Cure/Pokèmon, TV-14 would be Sword Art Online, R (kind of the same as Tv-14 in Japan) might be something like Sailor Moon (for various reasons) or something less tame with violence, like Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

You can find them on Netflix, YouTube, Hulu(I think so), App Store, ect. I draw Anime, so yeah it's a hobby of mine.

Anime is normally found on Crunchyroll because Netflix usually has the English dub. For example, Saban dubbed Pretty Cure into English under the title "Glitter Force" and is widely criticized for its poor script, voice acting, and overall edits to the original series. Saban is infamous for its unnecessary editing.
