There are already a fair amount of images in the article to visually explain what's being described in prose. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 20:34, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

then can you add names of famous animes? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2405:201:c010:e00e:9528:cf2d:e0ad:3168 (talk • contribs) 14:32, September 7, 2021 (UTC)

Similarly to what user:ScottishFinnishRadish wrote in the previous response, we already mention several several famous animes. Many more are available in History of anime. Meters (talk) 19:17, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Origin of the word "anime"

Currently the article explains the word "anime" as being originated from the English word "animation". But most online sources i could find suggest that the word originated in the 70's form the french word "animé" meaning animated or lively. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.199.84.198 (talk • contribs) 13:21, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nah, it’s a myth.

Most Japanese dictionaries say that アニメ comes from アニメション which itself comes from the English word “animation”.

For the anecdote, the French dictionary Le Petit Robert gives as an etymology: « mot japonais, abréviation de animēshon […], emprunté à l’anglais animation », same for the Petit Larousse: [1].

As for English dictionaries, they pretty much say the same thing: Oxford / Merriam-Webster. --Thibaut (talk) 14:22, 16 August 2021 (UTC) According to me, anime is one of the best things ever.
