  1. Anime is Japanese Cartoons

    "is animation in Japan and considered Japanese animation in the rest of the world.[1] Anime dates from about 1917.

    Anime is widely viewed in Japan and is now widely viewed throughout the world. Anime itself is considered a form of limited animation. Anime can be broadcasted either through television or released directly to video, which are often called OVAs or OAV (Original Animation Video).

    Anime can be hand drawn or computer assisted. It is used in television series, films, video, video games, commercials, and internet-based releases, and represents all genres of fiction."

  5. Japanese animation, but generally speaking it can't be described as cartoons as it has a far greater range. It's not just for kids either, there are some very mature animes out there, such as the very moving 'Grave of the Fireflies' and 'Ghost in the Shell'.

  8. Wow i never met anyone who didn't know what it was, o well itThe term anime refers to a distinctive tradition of Japanese animation that is almost immediately recognizable by its superior artistic quality as well as by the somewhat mannered artistic conventions anime artists employ, such as the preference for child-like, large eyes. But it's not just the art that grabs one's attention. AND WHOLE POINT ITS GREAT U CAN CHECK WHAT U LIKE

  15. anime is Japanese Animation with mostly adult themes

    unlike american cartoons, anime can be (and is more likely) viewed by adults (my cousin, who is like 26 watches animes)

    another thing that makes anime different from other cartoons is that anime have characters with huge eyes.
