Okay, so answer the question. What exactly is anime?
Anime spans many genres. Although it can be classified as a type of animation, it has categories as diverse as books. Animation, though directed towards young audiences in America, is equally, maybe even more so, directed towards adults in Japan, unlike animation in the United States and most of the world. It is viewed as an art form, a way of relating a story, a medium, like live action film or books. Anime is usually seen as the stereotypical big eyes, funky hairstyles and color, etc.
