What's on your mug?

Okay, there are a lot of definitions for this word, and most of them are crap. I'm going to give you the complete, unabridged, truth: Definition 1: Anime is the French (yes, French) word for animation. Simple, no? Definition 2: Anime is a word used in Japan for any animation. It is taken from the french word. Definition 3: This is the definition that is most commonly used and encountered in the United States. It means 'animation made in Japan, or by Japanese people'. That's it. So, there are three definitions. I hope we're all clear now.

French guy: Ze anime is good, yes? Japanese Guy: The first anime, Gertie the Dinosaur, was made in 1912. American Guy: Anime is animation from Japan. Three different definitions, got it!?!?

A deity that travels between good and bad as fast as Sword Art Onlines ratings decline and even faster than the time Eren spends is episodes preparing to fight titans

Attack On Titan is a great anime, if you like Sword Art Online you aren't even 1% decent person

Anime; japanese animation that allows basement virgins a brief escape from reallity if they are too afraid to take drugs. This is not always porn as not to damage the child psyche.

I would watch anime but I was already high and had a girlfriend.

1. The word 'animation' in japanese. 2. A word that usually refers to Japanese animation. Many people might hate it because of what they see on television. Americanized anime is from japan, but is usually edited, dubbed, and screwed up in other ways in the process of putting it on tv.

1. In japan, many children enjoy watching anime on television. 2. Dude, how much anime must cartoon network ruin?

Japanese word for animation. The word, when used by non-Japanese, usually refers to animated films of Japanese origin. Distinguishing features of anime include large, detailed eyes and, for the most part, awful dubbing. The quality of anime varies wildly. Some anime is better than most of what Hollywood puts out, and some's crap. Examples of popular anime include Neon Genesis Evangelion, Princess Mononoke, and Spirited Away.

I went to the theater to watch some anime a few days ago.
