1Fanime (a portmanteau of “{{fan}}” and “{{anime}}”) is a type of WebAnimation typically created by young amateur artists that originated on Website/YouTube around 2006, a year after the site's launch. The definition of fanime has become increasingly nebulous over time.

3In the past, many fanime were {{animesque}} cartoons based on pre-existing anime, especially ''Manga/TokyoMewMew'' and other MagicalGirl shows. Tracing was also common. Instead of using animation software, creators would usually draw frames in MS Paint or Photoshop and composite them in Windows Movie Maker.

5Over time, creators began to create their own original works, and the fanime creators of today make up a diverse community who create typically original works covering a wide range of genres and styles. There is no standard animation program, and it’s still common to use a combination of art program and video editing software to animate.

7As fanime was predominately created by very young artists inexperienced in animation in the beginning, it gained a reputation for being bad. This drew trolls in who contribute ingenuine works to the community, attempting to poke fun or replicate the SoBadItsGood effect. Following the mainstream popularity of ''WebAnimation/NyanNekoSugarGirls'', this type of fanime dominated the community for a long time, but creators attempting to create genuine shows still remain and the community has grown increasingly talented and creative throughout the years.

9Not to be confused with the yearly anime convention of the same name.

Also, this list is for TV Tropes pages only. Please do not link to an outside site.'''
