Anime, while meaning both foreign and domestic animation in Japan, is used by Europeans and Americans to distinguish specifically animation from Japan.
There is a general belief that anime consists of bright colors, big eyes, and scantily clad woman, yet that is typically only the case of older anime (and craptastic American comics). However, there is no exact one style of anime. Each artistic has his or her own inique style (anime is generally drawn first as a manga and then turned in to an animation).
Anime has seen an increase in popularity in recent years. Many people, especially of the late 1980s have seen the artistic beauty of anime. While your art teacher may debate this, ask them if they can draw a good "anime-style" drawing. Also, such movies as Spirited Away, have even won oscars for their creative genius and novel music.
In short, while there are nerds who watch anime, there are also nerds who watch football. Anime is not something that should be considered nerdy, but rather an alternative creative outlet (or genre) in the film industry. Also, anime ranges from PG to R and macabre horror.

Get the r/animemes case mug.Related Words
Noun referring to a style of cartoon. Derivitive of the word "animation" it usually denotes cartoons that use a similar style of art. Loved by many, maligned by many, it will probably start WWIII in some way.

Get the animesexual mug.Okay, there are a lot of definitions for this word, and most of them are crap. I'm going to give you the complete, unabridged, truth:
Definition 1: Anime is the French (yes, French) word for animation. Simple, no?
Definition 2: Anime is a word used in Japan for any animation. It is taken from the french word.
Definition 3: This is the definition that is most commonly used and encountered in the United States. It means 'animation made in Japan, or by Japanese people'. That's it.
So, there are three definitions. I hope we're all clear now.

French guy: Ze anime is good, yes?
Japanese Guy: The first anime, Gertie the Dinosaur, was made in 1912.
American Guy: Anime is animation from Japan.
Three different definitions, got it!?!?
