- JAPANIMATED! Japanese culture is not lost in translation with today’s kids
JAPANIMATED
adjective; blending
Taken by the culture of Japan. The writer was looking for a catchy way to get his point across in an article title. This word is short, but very catchy. It is also a humorous play on words, since the article goes on to state that the primary way children are introduced to the culture is through Japanese cartoons, or animation.
Etymology : Japanimated. Blending of Japan, country name, -animated, brought to life
