noun: a japanese cartooning system that is characterized by very little curviture, exotic colors, oddly shaped eyes that are usually large and disporportional to the shape of the body. Also, many mangas deal with subject matter that aren't found in most other Western-world cartoons.
Many people who do not fully understand or grasp the full concept of anime will oftentimes confuse it with manga. Mangas are the books that eventually turn into anime, and anime are the TV shows that result from a popular manga.
Also, many may stereotype all anime serials as large quantities of porn, although an overwhelming amount of anime have nothing perverted about them. Perverted animes with large amounts of sexual content are called Hentai.

Get the animemug. basically anime is just japanese cartoons that Americans say is "trash" when anime has several genres and different themes-just like cartoons. The distinctive features that anime actually have are realistic animation, a storyline-unlike most cartoons where it is just random episodes, and Japanese customs in the shows. Overall Anime is different from cartoons but when people say it is "trash" they usually call it trash for the wrong reasons.
Dude1:Hey dude do you watch anime?
Dude2:What? No, anime is trash it makes no sense.
Dude1:There are different genres so what you said makes no sense.
Dude2:It is just trash, I have nothing more to say
Dude1:can you at least tell me why it is trash?
Dude2:....

Get the animemug. the best form of animation ever!!! If you don't like anime, you're probably a closed-minded idiot with no real reason to hate it. What's not to like, I mean, the plots are profound and dramatic, the girls are HOT!!! and there is usually a lot of violence and sexuality. Content aside, the graphics are good and the characters are usually broad and creative! I like anime, I don't give a shit if you don't, fool!
