Maybe I've been holed up in Montana too long. I keep seeing Anime come up every now and then and I don't have a clue what it is. I don't even know what category to put this question in. Can you enlighten me?

'Anime' is a contraction of Animation Media and means, simply, cartoons. The anime projects that currently get the most attention are animated short-films (the kind that show up in annual festivals), series cartoons (Flintstones, Animaniacs, The Simpsons) and longer length, feature films (Lady and the Tramp, Toy Story, Akira). The original anime projects were made in a painstaking process of moving and filming paper cutouts laid on a drawn or painted background. The majority of today's anime is done on computer a la CGI (Computer Generated Imagery).

Anime (アニメ?), which is short for the English word animation, in the western world most popularly refers to the medium of animation originating in Japan, with distinctive character and background aesthetics that visually set it apart from other forms of animation (e.g. Walt Disney films, Warner Bros. short cartoons). In Japan, the word anime is used to refer to all forms of animated film from around the world. While some anime is entirely hand-drawn, computer assisted animation techniques are, in recent years, quite common. Storylines are typically fictional; examples of anime representing most major genres of fiction exist. Anime is broadcast on television, distributed on media such as DVD and VHS, or included in computer and video games. Anime is often influenced by Japanese comics known as manga. Some anime storylines have been adapted into live action films and television series

Anime is short for Japanese Animation or Japanimation.
Easily recognizable by the Big Eyes Small Mouths of the characters.
