To understand the origin of anime it is necessary to take a trip back to the Second World War. In the 1930’s the Japanese government began enforcing cultural nationalism. This also led to a strict censorship and control of published media. The government “encouraged” animators to produce animations that enforced the Japanese morale, and nationalism.

    Manga is a Japanese word that is generally used to refer to comics or cartoons while Anime is a term used to refer to animation, also originating from Japan. The origin of manga can be traced to the 18th century. The word was used for the first time in 1798 in Japan to describe Shiji no yukikai, a picture book.
