Bob882's definitions
Okay, there are a lot of definitions for this word, and most of them are crap. I'm going to give you the complete, unabridged, truth:
Definition 1: Anime is the French (yes, French) word for animation. Simple, no?
Definition 2: Anime is a word used in Japan for any animation. It is taken from the french word.
Definition 3: This is the definition that is most commonly used and encountered in the United States. It means 'animation made in Japan, or by Japanese people'. That's it.
So, there are three definitions. I hope we're all clear now.

French guy: Ze anime is good, yes?
Japanese Guy: The first anime, Gertie the Dinosaur, was made in 1912.
American Guy: Anime is animation from Japan.
Three different definitions, got it!?!?

Get the kagome mug.A really crappy ISP. This 'lawyer' who is trying to sue urbandictionary is just a stupid idiot who doesn't realize that this is a site where anyone can post their definition, and a lawsuit against it would abridge free speech.
