Japanese animation. The word is derived from the english word "animation" :D
Not necessarily better or worse than American cartoons, both have their good and bad series/shows. In fact, one of the founders of Anime and Manga (comics) was influenced heavily by such american DISNEY films as Bambi.
When imported to the US, much of it is edited, though it is not always so. Many times, it may be edited for violence, sex, or nudity, but this does not apply to everything. Sometimes there is a subtitled, unedited release alongside a dubbed,edited version, or a DVD might carry it unedited and with an option of subbing or dubbing.

1. The Japanese word referring to animation in general.
2. What foreigners (Usually those from the US) call Japanese animation. Many people become over-obsessive of it, but they are NOT all 35-year old men with no life or friends. (I am a girl with possibly no life, but I have friends) (They always run out of 90% off lives at the department store) Anime is usually based on manga, but sometimes it is original. Sometimes, the animators alter the storyline so the story of the anime is different from the story of the manga. Anime is both the singular and plural form of the word. Many people dub it, usually changing the story to make it more for kids, but some keep it the way it is, especially on anime DVDs.
