Anime, is short for the English word animation, it mostly 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.

Anime is often influenced by Japanese comics known as manga, variations also shows women with big tits and shiny eyes... that's Cartoon Porn  

Quote:
Sometimes confused with anime, manga is the Japanese word for comic book (or Graphic Novel, if you prefer) and is used in English to mean Japanese comic books. Manga and anime are very closely related, as artists frequently crossover, as do the characters they create. Usually the manga is created first, and if it becomes really popular then the market it deemed capable of supporting a much more costly animation based on it.

Animated material which does not fit the traditional conventions of Western animation, such as Japanese anime are often confused with the definition of cartoons. Anime comprises an entirely different genre in and of itself, giving it a distinguishable quality setting it apart from cartoons.

Yep, thats it, Anime is a style, often confused with Hentai, and of course the Anime Porn (Refer to my post above).
I don't like the Anime style to be honest, or the story lines, maybe it's because Eastern people have bad vision and can only draw simply, with those horrible sharp lines, and barrel distortion.

Hentai IS anime porn.

But anyway, anime's simplistic style is so because it was created post war, and at that time, they didn't have huge resources to create their animations. So simplistic drawing styles were the order of the day and have stuck through to the present.
