Noun: a style of animation that originated and is still heavily centered in Japan. The word 'anime' is based on the original japanese pronunciation of the american word 'animation.' The stereotype of the anime style are characters with proportionally large eyes and hair styles and colors that are very colorful and exotic. The plots range from very immature (kiddy stuff), through teenage level, to mature (violence, content, thick plot). The classification of 'hentai' is given to animes of a stong sexual nature. Although over 95% of anime has nothing perverted about it, most closed-minded idiots think anime is always a form of pronography. Urban Dictionary

Another form of story telling that uses animation as its medium. Just like how books use text, movies use actors. Anime uses animation to tell the story, and can be very serious or very funny.

1. Japanese animation. 2. Yet another thing that americans managed to completely fuck up, resulting in poor translations, unnecessary censorship, horrible dubbing, and people who don't know any better hating Japan for it. Urban Dictionary

Unlike American cartoons, anime usually has one episode connecting to the next. This would give allowance for a story that is long and can express a good plot and elaborate on characters. In American society, long-term stories are usually given to shows like Lost, Flashforward, and The Event. Anime is long-term stories that are cartoons, and are usually cheaper to make. There are good and bad ones, ones that are horrible at plot and characters, and ones that are good at plot and characters, just like American shows. A great number of animes are based off of Japanese Comics (a.k.a. Manga). In short, not all anime is gay and not all are awesome either. You have to dig for the good ones, and then BAM you have something to spice up your boring, monotonous home life when you've had enough of going outside, or can't go outside, or are worn out from studying, etc. Heck, it makes waiting for texts easier. Of course, like anything, there are addicts... and anime isn't necessarily a good thing to be addicted with, especially if it gets in the way of your life. Urban Dictionary

Shounen being anime more action-oriented targeting boys, and shojo more romance-oriented targeting girls. 3. Not always hentai. Urban Dictionary

A style of cartoons that originated and have become heavily popular worldwide. The biggest difference between anime and American cartoons is that Anime has a plot and are made for a variety of audiences. Most people believe it childish to watch anime as a teenager because of it being a cartoon but those people should stop watching family guy which most likely 9 out of 10 of them is a fan of. Anime comes in a variety of genres such as action, adventure, romance, drama, comedy, supernatural, horror, fantasy and etc... Urban Dictionary
