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.

A genre of animation originating in Japan.
For some reason, it has gained a large following of illiterate prepubescents as well as angsty teens who feel the need to justify the fact that they're watching an animation, normally done by verbally attacking whoever says they don't like it. Usually, this is achieved by feverishly rattling off a list of anime episodes (or whatever the fuck they're called) that supposedly have mature themes. They always seem to think that makes them less pathetic; it really only makes them more pathetic — especially in the case of hentai, which is just fucking perverted. The very fact that there is a well known and established genre of pornography based off of cartoons does not make the non-explicit cartoons — or the people who watch them — look very good.
Moreover, anime cartoons portray most of their characters in a very unrealistic fashion. Most girls have enormous breasts, heads, and annoyingly glittery bug eyes that are supposed to look attractive but really make them look immature and/or stupid.
