Line 27:
* Another difference is while Western studios might animate something which would be impossible or extremely expensive to created with live-action, plenty of anime are [[Slice of Life]] and include no particular effects elements which would require animation. They're animated because anime costs less to make than live-action Japanese TV shows.
One thing that anime isn't is "made in the iconic anime style of art." There is no "iconic anime style" - ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'' doesn't look a thing like ''[[Hello Kitty]]'', but they're both anime... Conversely, ''[[Teen Titans Go! (animation)|Teen Titans Go!]]'' and ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'' are Western animation that are [[Animesque|mistaken for anime]].
Anime can be shown on television, or released only on DVD. DVD released anime is called an OVA ([[Original Video Animation]]). The closest analog to Western animation is "direct-to-video" or "direct-to-DVD", but without the negative connotation. Usually, [[Original Video Animation|OVAs]] are of superior quality to anime produced for TV, as many time and budget restrictions are lifted. There are also plenty of anime movies. Anime which are completely original and not based off of some other work often gain manga or light novels based on ''them'' if they prove to be popular.
