A person who uses a computer or physical objects to create animations, cartoons, movies, games, etc. An animator is usually "that kinda of guy" who stares at people walking; and when asked what the heck he is looking at, he simply states hes "observing real-life movement". Animators are usually the most undermined in the movie/game field, but the most valuable. Not to mention animators are usually single for a very long time and find it hard to find a mate due to their "weirdness".
"Did you see that latest movie?! That monster looked so realistic!"
"Yah I did! The animators did a good job!"
-OR-
"Hello, what do you do for a living?"
"I'm an animator."
"What is that?"

A style of Japanese animation that has become increasingly popular in the pop culture of many Western societies in recent years. It has a number of genres from all ages and has created a large fan base as well as many people that are opposed to it. You can find many stores selling anime merchandise in American stores as well as many American anime conventions.

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.

Although most people stop watching 'cartoons' in their early teens, there are 'animes' for all age groups.
