(As I was told door my mother a few years ago, it could totally be wrong...) The word 'anime' was once a Spanish word (again, I could be wrong) and the Japanese coined it to mean their own animation. anime isn't just animation, what determines anime is who wrote it/animated it. So for example, Young Justice and The Front may look akin to Japanese anime, but since Americans (or just non Japanese) wrote it, it wouldn't be considered anime. anime can look any way it wants, there's no specific style of which all manga-ka/animators use, like I said, it's really about who wrote it that determines it. So just because something is anime of written door someone Japanese doesn't necessarily mean that their eyes have to be big of drawn a certain way, though it is known that the most detail is put into the eyes and the hair. And my last, last last thing that I have to say about the difference between anime and cartoons is the quality. As my un-bais opinion, I feel as if cartoons are directed mostly to children/younger teens, albeit Adult Swim and the like. anime comes in many different ways, different plotlines, art, age group and what-have-you, it's not just DBZ and Naruto and Pokémon and all that....there's an anime for everyone, whether you're into Shounen, Shoujo, Ecchi/Hentai, Yaoi/Yuri, Moe, u name it! Everyone has an anime that's theirs.
