ACG is the abbreviation of Anime (Japanese Animation), Comic (Comic) and Game. This word was first put forward by AIplus, a fan of Taiwan Province Province, and was applied to the naming of the animation section of BBS station of Sun Yat-sen University. Subsequently, this word was introduced into Hongkong and Chinese mainland.
ACG refers to the animation, comics and game industry in Japan, in which games mostly refer to games with beautiful girl elements. These three kinds of works are often adapted from each other, and comics can be adapted into animations and games;
Games can be adapted into cartoons and animations; Animation can be adapted into comics and games. It can be said that ACG is a big family. In addition, this word is only used in Chinese-speaking areas, and there is no such saying in Japan and other countries. Japanese common law calls it a "secondary element".
However, in China, the network culture or vocabulary produced or influenced by ACG hobby circle, or even the jokes produced and used by domestic fans, cannot be called ACG jargon, because it does not belong to the category of ACG culture bred by Japanese culture, but is only a domestic network vocabulary influenced by ACG culture. There are often some ACG hobby circles and fans calling themselves ACG circles in China, which is misinterpreted and misused.
