noun: a style of animation that originated and is still heavily centered in Japan.
The word 'anime' is based on the original japanese pronunciation of the american word 'animation.'
The stereotype of the anime style are characters with proportionally large eyes and hair styles and colors that are very colorful and exotic. The plots range from very immature (kiddy stuff), through teenage level, to mature (violence, content, thick plot). The classification of 'hentai' is given to animes of a stong sexual nature.
Although over 95% of anime has nothing perverted about it, most closed-minded idiots think anime is always a form of pronography.

Get the anime mug.Anime Music Videos are one of the primary reasons that the internet is full of garbage. These peices of shit are churned out by the hundreds each hour onto the internet because all the Japanophiles and Wapanese retards have to much time on their hands. It's a commonly known fact that most AMV's use Linkin Park. It's not really known why all the anime freaks use this music, probably due to high levels of Emo in their songs. The anime music videos that don't use LP most likely use other Emo music, or worse, shitty J-pop.

The term used to describe Japanese animation or the art style of characters borrowed from Japanese animation.
Anime, in recent years, has enjoyed a significant boom in popularity in outside of Japan, namely in the Western world.
Although anime has interesting and unusual themes, sometimes adult (not common in most Western animation), anime doesn't really deserve the mass popularity it has gained. Most anime shows follow similar and repetetive plots and themes to eachother, and as well, anime technique on a whole is very primitive in comparison to the American school of classical animation (eg. VERY static characters, anime has walk cycles of 4 frames) and it seems the Japanese animators take as many shortcuts as possible. Humor in anime for the most part is insultingly simplistic; a character says something stupid, and everyone falls down. The sad thing is, most anime that tries to be humorous borrows the exact same gags as every other "comedy" anime.
However, there are a few artful gems which defy these stereotypes, (Miyazaki's films, namely) but on the whole anime is a overhyped genre thats sadly, killing North American cartoons off television.
