The audience for anime in Japan is huge and the distributors are not restricted as to their distribution and are permitted to distribute anime to television, video, theatre and the Internet. East and Southeast Asia were the first to watch anime online and recently it has gained popularity in the West where you can now watch free anime online..

In spite of the obvious difference in styles people see all of the styles as anime. The most common characteristics of anime are specific features such as large eyes, big hair and short or elongated legs. Japanese calligraphy and painting has a strong influence in anime.
