anime

"Anime" is a Japanese style of cartoons and animations made in Japan and Japan only. Any animating of the same style in different countries is not anime.

In Japan, anime is also associated with manga.

Many manga have been remade in the anime form, such as Bleach, Attack On Titan and One Piece, just to name a few.
Many people are huge fans of anime. Most of these fans like to call themselves an otaku.
Just like the word money, anime has no plural with an 's'.

A 'weeaboo' is a negative term that is also associated with anime and the Japanese fandom.

Many close minded people think anime is either something for kids only or for perverted horny people who masturbate to it. Which is obviously not true.
Only about 80 to 90% of anime/manga is perverted. And about 30-40% is for younger audiences.
Hentai, or ecchi are two types of perverted anime along with harem.

Girl 1 and 2: *they yell* "ANIME IS AWESOME, YOU %$@!^"
Guy: "Okay, okay! Jeez. It's just anime."

Animesexual

Having a romantic affair with a character from anime. Watching "Hentai" is a sign of being Animesexual. You can consider yourself Animesexual when your penis grows in length, or if you are female then it will happen when you start to cum, or the nipples on your boobs erect when looking at the sight of naked anime characters.
I'm Animesexual because my penis starts to get big and cum at the sight of a wet vagina in anime.
I'm Animesexual because I cum, and my boobs get big at the sight of a big cum covered penis in anime.
I like to imagine myself entering the naked anime girl on screen.
I like to imagine myself eating the anime penis, and cumming on screen.

Anime

The word "anime" is the Japanese word for "animation" or "cartoons," adapted from the English word "animation." In Japan, the word is used to refer to any cartoon or animation, whether it be from Japan or another country. But ever since Japanese animation became widespread throughout the world, the word "anime" has developed a different meaning in other countries. In America and most other non-Japanese countries, "anime" is used to refer to any form of animation exclusively from Japan such as animated TV shows and animated movies. However, unlike America's attitude towards animation - that it's only for children with the exception of a few adult comedies - the Japanese consider animation to be an acceptable form of entertainment and storytelling for all kinds of people. Thus, anime is aimed at a variety of audiences and is enjoyed by Japanese, as well as American fans, of all ages and tastes.
All the Japanophiles/Weeaboos love anime.

Gateway Anime

An anime-like show found on Cartoon Network or Boomerang that, though the art style resembles that of anime, cannot be qualified as such due to its non-Japanese origins. However, these shows have the capability of introducing the viewer to the anime art style and general fandom, hence the name "Gateway."

Pokemon and shows of the same type usually found on Cartoon Network also qualify as Gateway Anime, since they have been Americanized to the point of ridiculousness.

In short, Gateway Anime is anything even remotely anime-like that pops up on Cartoon Network, usually early in the morning or late at night.
Two examples of Gateway Animes are:
-The Powerpuff Girls (who can technically be classified as chibis)
-The 2003-2006 version of Teen Titans
