Simply put, it's animation. But, here in the States, it refers to cartoons from Japan. Anime can be classified as having spikey hair, large eyes, futuristic setting, sex, and violence. Some of these doesn't necessarily apply to all animes. People who hate anime tend to have seen only one or just the crappy ones and refuse to open their minds and learn more about it. They have nothing better to do than to put down those who like it. They seem to think that American craptoons are better. Sure, they're good, but nowhere near as good as anime. They also seem to think that they'll get girls because they diss it. Well, they're certainly not getting this girl (that's right, I'm a girl). I prefer people with brains, not close-minded assholes. Anyways, here are some good examples of anime: Cowboy Bebop, Dragonball Z (original version), InuYasha, Lupin III, Trigun, and some of the Gundam series.

1. Japanese word for animation.
2. A word used for animation brought from Japan to U.S. Many anime such as Rurouni Kenshin (my favoritte), Cowboy Bebop, and Hellsing are great. There are some very bad anime however like DBZ, DB GT (I do like the original Dragon Ball though), Pokemon, and Yu Gi Oh. Anime is often misjudged at my school as being for little kids. The people who say this are exetremely ignorant and often very annoying.

A form of Japanese animation that you'll find typically mutilated by American corporations when they "translate" the shows.
Cartoon Network and Funimation are two examples of fuckers who hack and slash good anime into unrecognizable shit.
