Anime is for everyone, covering all themes and genres. For some audiences, the terms ‘anime’ conjures up scenes of post-apocalyptic worlds, fetishised characters and ultra-violence, but in its simplest form this is a term that can be attached to all animation made in Japan, covering multiple genres and telling contemporary, fantastical or other-worldly stories. Some of these titles are based on manga (comics and graphic novels), and many are uniquely Japanese-authored stories, often employing high-quality hand-drawn techniques long since abandoned by much of the industry. In this two-month season we present a number of anime classics alongside work by contemporary auteurs, and a small but increasingly important group of women working in anime who are helping bring the form into the 21st century.
