Japanese cartoons, or japanese animations. Something people should seriously stop bashing because it's wasting my time.

A style of cartoon originating from Japan. The word itself is an abbreviation of "animation" but is used primarily as reference to Japanese animations. Many (not just fans) claim that anime is not a form of cartoon but is instead its own thing entirely. Although having distinct characteristics and features, "anime" remains nothing more than a cartoon style.
Boy: I just saw a cool cartoon on TV last night! It's called Dragon Ball!
Girl: That's not a cartoon, it's an "anime".
Boy: Really? Looked like a cartoon to me.

Anime (on of many of my definitions) NOT A CARTOON
ANIME is the best animated show since Lilo and Stitch.
Fairytail is one of the best ANIMEs in history.
