The Japanese term for animation. And just because something's animated doesn't mean it's automatically targeted at children so they can become corrupted by it. American companies usually butcher the dubbed version so they can make the ones that weren't intended for kids all TV-Y rated. Most anime takes on more mature themes and sometimes sexual content for those people who are into that.
Stereotypical anime characters, usually the younger female ones, have large eyes (to portray innocence, I guess). But not all of them do. Sometimes they have crazy hair and crazy outfits and crazy actions. The voices are high because I guess Japanese people tend to have higher voices than Americans.
The people who watch anime aren't always those stereotypical geek/nerd/dork or whatever you wanna call them. Sometimes the people who do watch anime or read manga (Jap. comics) can get a little too into the culture, but hey, whatever.

The word "animation" is based on a contraction of anim "life" and motion "movement".
Anime may be linguistically the abbreviation of "animation". But around the world, anime is always associated with japanese animation.

Used to describe someone who is just a savage, vicious animal bastard.
(Sometimes pronounced with random excentuated consanants and vowels. Fore example. "You Annn-i-mal!!"
