A form of animation from Japan.A.K.A.
Japanese Anime, Japanese Animation...
It's usually dubbed by American companies. Anime is very different from American animation. It is detailed artistically, and has very good plots. Unappreciative people complain about the dubs.

"Right on!"

A type of animation originating from Japan. Can be characterised by oversized eyes, spikey, outlandishly coloured hair, and so on. Even without these things, the style of Anime is easily distinguishable from the inferior western cartoons. All inferior, apart from Futurama, which rocks. But the rest of the stuff we make is crap compared to Anime.
Anime is usually bursting with Japanese culture, including Japanese backdrops, Japanese food, Japanese attitudes, etc. We are most familiar with anime for children like Pokemon. But the really good stuff has adult content like violence and nudity. This type of anime isn't really comparable to any western cartoons.
Anime seems to have many consistent elements between shows - such as cats. People with cat ears seem to be very common in Anime aswell, for some reason. Also, even if you find the type of Anime which focuses on relationships between characters, chances are it still involves magic powers, people becoming robots and things of that nature.
"ok so first of all my head would have to be a little bean with real big eyes get rid of my thumbs make me all shiny, and my boots would be a whole lot cooler, like robot boots. And i'd have blue hair... you've gotta have blue hair."

Anime is the japanese word for animation. in the west it usually refers to the japanese way of animating, (often with large eyes, sweat drops for embarrasment etc, but not always) there are genres within anime, just the same as any other entertainment type.
it is often heavily edited and 'dumbed down' when dubbed by america, as it is assumed americans will not understand.
the subbed versions are pretty much a straight translation, so it is better if you want the original storyline.
e.g. anime such as: Bleach, Full Metal Alchemist, Card Captors, Spirited Away, Sailor Moon, etc.

Anime is essentially Japanese animation, but it is also a word the Japanese derived from French to just describe animation in general. It is very popular in the states, and it has a wide range of age groups that it targets, from young children to young adults. Anime and manga have various styles, some better than others. The fanbase is very large, and at times, very annoying, but it really is an interesting phenomena.
Japanese animation and comics are very interesting. However, that is not to say that some American animation and most American comics aren't.

-A style of animation developed in Japan, characterized by stylized colorful art, futuristic settings, violence, and sex.(from dictionary.com)
-an awsome type of art that was drived from the word "animation". Duh. Anime is made in Japan and other places. Japan is the first thing that comes to mind in many people when they hear this(if they know what it is.if they dont and u just read this, now you know). Characters often have perfect bodies(i envy them), can have colorful hair, cool eyes, and are usualy hot =)(like Crim from .Hack//SIGN. there are other characteristics too.
some cool animes are Witch Hunter Robin, .Hack//SIGN, Cowboy Bebop, zoids, Gundam, and the list goes on.
