The term used to describe Japanese animation or the art style of characters borrowed from Japanese animation.
Anime, in recent years, has enjoyed a significant boom in popularity in outside of Japan, namely in the Western world.
Although anime has interesting and unusual themes, sometimes adult (not common in most Western animation), anime doesn't really deserve the mass popularity it has gained. Most anime shows follow similar and repetetive plots and themes to eachother, and as well, anime technique on a whole is very primitive in comparison to the American school of classical animation (eg. VERY static characters, anime has walk cycles of 4 frames) and it seems the Japanese animators take as many shortcuts as possible. Humor in anime for the most part is insultingly simplistic; a character says something stupid, and everyone falls down. The sad thing is, most anime that tries to be humorous borrows the exact same gags as every other "comedy" anime.
However, there are a few artful gems which defy these stereotypes, (Miyazaki's films, namely) but on the whole anime is a overhyped genre thats sadly, killing North American cartoons off television.

A fighting game that was developed by Rare and published by Nintendo. It was debuted in the arcades and received AWESOME reviews; the game included graphics unlike any seen before, and a cool fighting system based on combos. The first KI game was released at around November of '94.
Rare & Nintendo released its sequel in 1996. The graphics were downgraded, among other things, but the infamous combo system was boosted to make it all the more entertaining.
The first KI was originally going to be released for the Ultra 64, but instead it was released for the Super Nintendo on August 30th, 1995. The reviews of that game were decent; the game wasn't much of an arcade replica but all the gameplay elements managed to get fit in. Killer Instinct 2 was released for the Nintendo 64, under the title "Killer Instinct Gold". It had some slight downgrades but once again all the gameplay elements were fit in.

"Killer Instinct is a game that lives on in my memory forever. Long live Nintendo's glory days..."

An ingenious horror game developed by the company that brought to us all kinds of great games like Metal Gear, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Contra, Castlevania, and countless others......yeah that's right. Konami. ^.^
As this is defined there are 4 games in the series, each with different storylines (actually, the first and third SH's are linked). Whatever the case, Silent Hill represents some of the finest in psychological terror, complete with realistic graphics, disturbing background music and sounds, and a deep storyline provoking food for thought.
