Term that describes Japanese animated cartoons made in the 1980s or earlier, usually television series made on small budgets resulting in Bullwinkle-style art and as much story as possible crammed into a half hour. This term has been generally replaced with the word anime since the 1990s.
Kyojin no Hoshi, Heidi of the Swiss Alps, and The Flanders' Dog are the most well-known japanimation titles within Japan.

The japanese art of translating with the japanese person's mouth moving exageratedly not proportional to the tanslated word, usually in cartoons.
The Japanese person was saying "Hi", but japanimation made their mouth move like they were saying "Hello, my name is Kiko and I welcome you to my house that is here in Japan in the Pacific ocean right next to China with the capital being Tokyo and where our money is the yen."

n.
(juh-PAYN-uh-MAYSHUN)
Another word for Anime which is admittedly much more fun to say. It is an addictive and awesome artform when it is not being used to either tell depressingly boring stories (unless, of course, they feature those cute demon boys.. grrowl) or is used primarily to get illogically big-breasted women into small shirts.
