Definition

  • Anime, Japanese animated films, although technically similar to the child-oriented cartoon offerings of American animation studios, are distinguished by their adult themes and complex story lines. The word anime, sometimes written as animé to make the pronunciation clear, is a shortening of the English word animation. [Source: Encyclopedia of Children, Adolescents, and the Media; Anime]
