Another form of story telling that uses animation as its medium. Just like how books use text, movies use actors. Anime uses animation to tell the story, and can be very serious or very funny.
Either way anime is just another way of telling a story, all stereotypes attached to it are unnecessary.

Have you watched Monster? That is one of the darkest anime I've ever seen... It really goes deep into the humanity of good vs evil.

Animation originating from Japan containing the best imaginary women possibly, badass guys, and beautiful music all in one package. Plenty of anime shows out there though not all of them are awesome as well not all of them suck. Not to be confused with hentai which is... porn.

A fabulous album, where Pink Floyd shows that it sometimes only takes five songs to be fucking amazing. It demonstrates different figures of society, which are described in the form of animals (sheep, dogs, and three different pigs). Listen to this album all the way through, i swear it will blow your mind.
Dogs:
Who was born in a house full of pain.
Who was trained not to spit in the fan.
Who was told what to do by the man.
Pigs (three different ones):
Bus stop rat bag, ha ha charade you are.
You fucked up old hag, ha ha charade you are.
Sheep:
Wave upon wave of demented avengers
March cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream.

1. Japanese animation.
2. Yet another thing that americans managed to completely fuck up, resulting in poor translations, unnecessary censorship, horrible dubbing, and people who don't know any better hating Japan for it.

Unlike American cartoons, anime usually has one episode connecting to the next. This would give allowance for a story that is long and can express a good plot and elaborate on characters.
In American society, long-term stories are usually given to shows like Lost, Flashforward, and The Event.
Anime is long-term stories that are cartoons, and are usually cheaper to make.
There are good and bad ones, ones that are horrible at plot and characters, and ones that are good at plot and characters, just like American shows.
A great number of animes are based off of Japanese Comics (a.k.a. Manga).
In short, not all anime is gay and not all are awesome either. You have to dig for the good ones, and then BAM you have something to spice up your boring, monotonous home life when you've had enough of going outside, or can't go outside, or are worn out from studying, etc. Heck, it makes waiting for texts easier.
Of course, like anything, there are addicts... and anime isn't necessarily a good thing to be addicted with, especially if it gets in the way of your life.

Animes that easily appeal to the masses are: Death Note (psychological thriller), ToraDora (about growing up), Code Geass (about war and injustice).
If you can handle the movie Saw and want to get mind blown like Inception, watch Higurashi.
A safe site to watch anime on is Anilinkz, and there are some other sites too. Animeshippuuden is an unsafe site.
Albert: Did you watch Death Note?
Bob: Yeah, it's cool how even though they are so close to each other that they can even shake hands, if one figures out the true identity of the other through wits and smart talking, the other is dead.
