| 1 | A fan animation ([[InconsistentSpelling also spelled]] "fan-animation" and "fanimation") is what happens when a {{fanart}}ist decides to put their pictures into motion. |
| 2 | |
| 3 | Fan animations are typically original animations. Some, however, are [[RecursiveFanfiction based on other fanfics]] while others are animations set to music. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | Most animations are either hand-drawn or computer-drawn, however, using UsefulNotes/MikuMikuDance is also an alternative for people who want to create {{All CGI Cartoon}}s easily. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | Fan animations are usually ignored by publishers and creators, and they may be even [[ApprovalOfGod praised or encouraged]], but sometimes they're [[FanworkBan met with cease-and-desist orders]]. However, this usually only occurs when animators try to make a profit off of fan-animations or when they're [[Rule34 too sexual]]. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | Compare to {{Fan Art}}, {{Fanvid}}, and {{Fanfic}}. Can overlap with FanFilm. Super Trope to the MultiAnimatorProject. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | Other popular terms include: |
| 12 | * "MAP" refers to a "MultiAnimatorProject". Not to be confused with an MEP (Multi-Editor Project), which is a similar term used by {{Fan Vid}}ders. A "MAP" is an animation where several animators each do different parts. |
| 13 | * A "PMV" is a "Picture Music Video". Not to be confused with the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'''s fandom's usage (Pony Music Video), which usually refers to {{Fan Vid}}s. They're usually lumped in with fan-animations, however, they don't actually include much, if any, actual animation. [=PMVs=] are commonly {{Lyric Video}}s. |
| 14 | * Some {{animesque}} fan-animations can also be considered {{Fanime}}, however the term "fanime" is usually used to describe original works done in an "anime" style. |
| 15 | * In Japan, there is a sort of fan-animation known as the "MAD" (which can also apply to {{Fanvid}}s). [=MADs=] usually contain still images instead of proper animations. |
| 16 | * An "animatic" is essentially a storyboard set to music, similar to the Japanese MAD. |

The fan short was made as a kind of protest from the fans for not having new anime adaptations of the manga (the last one was in 1989), especially the Hades Saga, the final manga arc unadapted until then. Probably triggered by this short, Creator/ToeiAnimation decided to finally adapt the Hades Saga in the format of OVA in 2002, which was not-so praised by the fans as the original short. |
