The term ''anime'' is derived from French "dessin animé" for ''cartoon'' drawing, and "l'animation"; it was then adapted to Japanese, short for "animeshon", [[Engrish|the Japanese pronunciation of the word]] "animation". This is because, [[Older Than They Think|before the Americans]], the French were more familiar with Japanese cartoons and manga and for a time were Japan's primary consumer. Of course, once this art-form carried over the Atlantic, the rest was history.
