Word that came from japanimation which was a style of animation that originated in japan but soon americans started using the style and to compensate, anime was used to substitute for the name of the style. Usually containing Large eyes,pointy noses, exaggerated expressions, and small mouths or more detailed characters and backgrounds Animes range from childish to mature to even "x" rated shows and have shows that contains just about every category: action, comedy, mystery, horror, romance, etc. Most animes contain perverted old men used for comical sense i.e. DragonBall, Naruto, Chrno Crusade The better animes usually contain large complex plots with unexpected twists, character development, and highly detailed drawings. Just because you dont like something doesnt mean you have the right to flame it; thats like saying its okay for racists to be racists which obviously isnt okay

Inuyasha, Gundam, Naruto, Full Metal Alchemist, Cowboy Bebop, Yu Yu Hakusho, Case Closed/Detective Conan, and Read or Die are examples of japanese anime Samurai Jack and Ninja Turtles would count as american anime

The Japanese style of animation, first started in the the 60's. Since then, many many anime series have been started, and the style has evolved to be something completely unique. Even between the anime artists, there is an definite difference in the animation styles. It covers the same range of genres as live television or movies for the rest of the world, except being animated, it can be a lot more creative and artistic. It is not uncommon to see Anime movies for older audiences in film festivals. It is inaccurate to confuse it with traditional cartoons (Warner Brothers, HBA, Disney). Toonami (American Animation Network) is aimed at a young audience, and does not represent the entire anime culture, instead the ones which are believed to be most popular for those around the teen age - or most compatible with merchandising. While it may not be for everyone, those who do not like it should really indulge further, or simply refrain from speaking of which they do not properly know.

Anime. Debatably better than any other animation style. Whether you chose to believe it is up to you.

Japanese animation that's rapidly becoming popular in the U.S. A lot more mature than American cartoons containing sex, ultra violence, blood and swearing.

Cowboy Bebop is a cool new anime.

A Japanese cartoon usually about love, superheroes and other stuff like that.
