Limited animation proved to be particularly popular in [[Japan]], such that the Japanese word for animation, ''[[anime]]'', entered the English lexicon as a [[loanword]] for the distinctive style of Japanese animation that took root there.<ref name=greatdeception>[https://www.tofugu.com/japan/anime-vs-cartoons/ Anime's Great Deception-The Difference Between Anime and Cartoons]</ref>  Anime features scenes of mouth moving with occasional eye blinks, rendered long shots of detailed backgrounds, a low [[frame rate]] (especially in earlier productions) and rare use of 2D fluidity on motion-blur filled action alongside reused drawings, using [[Manga iconography|style conventions from Japanese comic books]] ([[manga]]). It also has the benefit of lower cost productions and stylized content as opposed to realistic animation.<ref>[https://www.animatorisland.com/is-anime-a-legitimate-form-of-animation/?v=7516fd43adaa Is Anime a Legitimate Form of Animation?-Animator Island]</ref><ref>[http://showmetheanimation.com/features/animation-styles-what-makes-anime-unique/ Animation Styles: What Make Anime Unique-Show Me The Animation.com]</ref> As was the case in the United States, television was a major impetus for the growth of anime in Japan; the country's recovery from World War II led to economic prosperity and a boom in Japanese television ownership, and the development of anime allowed Japan to compete in an animation field where they had, in the era of the [[Golden Age of American animation]], been lagging well behind.<ref name=greatdeception/> By the 1980s, the Japanese animation field was equal to or better than the American industry, making it cost-effective to send American television series episodes to Japan to be animated, then sent back to be finished; such Japanese animated work was not done in the same style as anime, instead being a hybrid style that was not quite full animation but fuller than the limited animation of anime or late-20th century American television animation.<ref name="Honey">{{cite news |last=Winfrey |first=Lee |date=September 16, 1988 |title=ABC hoping Pooh can pull more than honey out a jar |url=http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1876&dat=19880916&id=CqgeAAAAIBAJ&pg=6729,251354 |work=[[Spartanburg Herald-Journal]] |publisher=[[Knight Ridder]] |page=A9 |via=Google News Archive}}</ref>
