Your Definition
Animation created outside Japan that [deliberately] adopts the visual style, storytelling methods, or production sensibilities of anime, but has no direct roots in Japanese studios, creators, or [source material]. Examples: Canon Busters, Castlevania, [Devil may cry] (Netflix series), Lord of Mysteries In short: Anime’s twin that grew up outside Japan. Personal note: Coined as a universal term to clearly separate anime (Japanese animation) from anime-inspired works made in other countries. “Paranime” comes from para- (parallel) + anime, meaning it runs alongside anime without being the same.
