Anime means "animation" in Japanese.

If you came here to see me call anime:
cartoon porn which is hentai, wannabe white person cartoons, or a nerds favorite hobby, then just give me the thumbs down already because my definition is precise.
Anime is a form of Japanese cartooning which either televised or on DVD or video. The comic books are called manga. Yes, there is a very big difference. If you walk into Borders/Barnes and Noble/etc. and ask for Anime, you will be sent to the DVD section. Shojo is a girl's type of anime (stories of love, achieving dreams and the type) while shonen is the boys type (wars, samuri, card battles etc.)Usually anime is much deeper than the average American cartoons. It can be funny, tragic, romantic, adventurous, sci fi and more. Stereotypical ideas: Nerds and geeks are not the only people who like anime. Not all aniime has the big twinkly eyes and extremely out of proportioned heads. It is NOT porn. See hentai. It is NOT only for kids.
Cartoon Networks's Adult swim has lots of Anime, like Witch Hunter Robin, Inuyasha, Wolf's Rain, .hack//sign, Sailor Moon, Hamtaro and more.

n. The distinctive factors which characterize an individual animal. Akin to personality, it refers to the temperament, lifestyle, and social nature of an animal.
People often refer to their pets or other animals as having "personalities," but animals are not people or persons. "Animality" avoids personification and anthropomorphism, and thus is a more targeted conception of the unique characteristics of individual animals.

a common term for japanese animation, usually based off of manga (japanese graphic novels). it often recieves hate here in the western world because some people havent really seen it or they think all animation is for children. usually, with the exception of studio bones, the animation itself is very lack-luster. something comon i've read here on urban dictionary is that its, "the legal way to jerk it to an 8 year old.", this is not true, while many anime's do actually have quite a bit of sexual humor, you cant call it that. however it has recieved much popularity here for the teenage demographic as well. also another thing is people known as weeaboo, people who get WAAAAAAAAAY over obsessive over anime, and otaku, the japanese term for a geek, or in america's case, people who are really into anime but dont exactly cross into weeaboo terratory, are shut ins with no life, again not true.

Anime is an ongoing 2D series featuring Blake Shelton, Elton John & Oprah.

They all fight to stop Simon cowell from having to much cowbell… (Anime’s currency)

If you see you see someone watching anime, make sure you say
Yaegar Erin”

Referencing a side plot about a guy named one piece who is trying to catch them all…

Another common thing to tell anime watchers is

“I wrote your name in my death note book”

It is how Weebs say I love you…
Death note is a book that grants immortality…

(Also if you wanna make a girl who watches anime happy, tell her that she is a short haired love interest)

They always end up happy with the MC 🥰
Anime is my favorite TV show

You act just like Isabella from Anime.
