Summary/Abstract: The anime culture, a media culture which revolves around the Japanese animation, begins to make its presence known in Romania, after the year '89. The Japanese animation, known as “anime”, has been welcomed by the Romanian public, mainly due to the richness of treated themes and motifs. Some of these motifs come as an exotic element, of novelty, being characteristic to the Japanese culture, universal culture and science fiction. The other ones are familiar motifs to the Romanian public, already existing in the local culture. It is about the themes and motifs in the Romanian literature and folklore, which find their counterpart in the Japanese animation. To these themes and motifs, we shall make reference in the present paper.
