Such seminal frames from the east (5)

I believe the answer is:

anime

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the east' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

'such seminal frames' is the wordplay.
'ANIME' is hidden backwards in amongst the letters.
However, I'm uncertain how this is indicated.

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for anime that I've seen before include "style of Japanese film" , "Drawing style" , "Japanese cartoon film genre" , "Japanese cartoon style" .)
