Introduced in the 1960s with Osamu Tezuka's groundbreaking Tetsuwan Atom (Astro Boy), modern animé (Japanese for "animation") has risen above being labeled a niche genre, capturing the imaginations of viewers worldwide. In fact, animé continues to attract new fans every year with its epic themes, furious pacing, and universal appeal.
