Animation for short, anime. It is used for Japanese animation.
In Japanese, animation is アニメーション (anime-syonn)
so they cut off some parts and turned it into アニメ (anime) only.
Person A: Hey did you know anime was just a short for animation and not a word for Japanese animation?
Person B: What really? I thought it was another word!
Anime is a word usually used to describe Japanese-style cartoons or just cartoons in general. It is hand-drawn and computer animation originating from Japan. In Japanese, anime, a term derived from the English word animation, describes all animated works, regardless of style or origin. Outside of Japan, anime refers specifically to animation produced in Japan, or to its common style, which has since been adopted by a minority of works produced in other countries.
However, it isn't commonly known that the Japanese definition of anime is just animation, so by definition, anything that is animated can be classified as "anime".
