Anime refers to Japanese animated cartoons. It should be pronounced "Ah-Nee-May". (Perhaps someone more competent than me should consult the Nupedia pronunciation guide for a better representation of this?)

Anime is a medium, not a genre. It consists of various genres. Anime is known for its variety of genres and unique artistic style. Anime, unlike most American cartoon?s, are not strictly for children (although there is a lot of children's anime). Anime is also for both genders, with there being well defined shonen (boys) and shoujo (girls) genres. In the US, most translated anime tends to belong to the shonen genre, including titles like Tenchi Muyo, Gundam, Trigun, etc.

Examples of anime include [Dragon Ball Z]?, Star Blazers, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Robotech, Pokemon?, Ranma 1/2, [Serial Experiments Lain]? (which talks about the 1940s paper As We May Think by Vannevar Bush, [Dougles Engelbart]?, etc.), the work of Hayao Miyazaki ([Princess Mononoke]?, My Neighbor Totoro, Laputa Castle In The Sky, Kiki's Delivery Service, The Raccoon War).
