Japanese animation. The term applies to many different forms of Japanese animation, not just the kind with over-proportioned eyes and heads, exaggerated features, and revealing clothing.
This term sometimes refers to non-Japanese animation using similar styles.
Anime is NOT:
Japanese animated porn: See definition on hentai.
Only for nerds/geeks: Would you say all cartoons are for nerds/geeks?
Strongly masculine/feminine: Some are masculine, like Fullmetal Alchemist, and some are feminine, like Princess Ai.
