Animecore is an aesthetic revolving around the visual culture of Japanese anime and manga.
Often glorifying Japanese animation styles prevalent in the 1990s through early 2000s as well as Hatsune Miku, Animecore tends to overlap with other aesthetic genres, like Vaporwave, Webcore, Cyberpunk, or Scenecore, due to Animecore's rise in reaction to "cringe culture" that is increasingly prevalent on the internet.
Frequent motifs are magical girl anime such as Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura, and Tokyo Mew Mew, and other anime such as Lucky Star, Vocaloid, anime-related YouTube videos from 2007-2012, pastel manga edits, Touhou, gaudy Blingee-esque edits, and frequently stolen and edited art from the early 2000's that was often parallel to scene and emo culture.
Ball-jointed dolls and anime figures are also popular. Sometimes distortion methods are used to lower image quality to replicate the look of many old web artifacts.
