anime (countable and uncountable, plural anime or animes)

A frame from Momotaro's Divine Sea Warriors (1944), the first full-length anime film.
  1. (uncountable) An artistic style originating in, and associated with, Japanese animation, and that has also been adopted by a comparatively low number of animated works from other countries.
    I can draw an anime version of you, if you want.
    • 2019 July 28, Emiko Jozuka, “Japanese anime: From ‘Disney of the East’ to a global industry worth billions”, in CNN‎[1]:
      Touching on themes as disparate as sex, death, science fiction and romance, manga and anime catered to all ages and tastes. Commercial hits like “Pokémon” and “Dragon Ball Z,” meanwhile, projected a new image of Japan to the world.
  2. (countable) An animated work that originated in Japan, regardless of the artistic style.
    • 1998, “One Week”, performed by Barenaked Ladies:
      Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon / 'Cause that cartoon has got the boom anime babes / That make me think the wrong thing
    • 2005, Peter J. Katzenstein, A World of Regions, page 165:
      After three months of successful sales in manga form, it was made into an anime for television.
    • 2005, Joan D. Vinge, The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror: Eighteenth Annual Collection, page cix:
      Usually the manga comes first, though it may be an offshoot of a novel, and an anime may be inspired by a video game.
    • 2006, Thomas LaMarre, edited by Tomiko Yoda and Harry D. Harootunian, Japan After Japan, page 363:
      These anime prepared the way for Otaku no video, a two-part Original Video Animation (OVA).
    • 2014 March 11, Ben Huh, “10 classic memes that owned the Internet”, in CNN‎[2]:
      Originally found in the opening dialogue sequence from the 1989 Japanese space shoot’em up game “Zero Wing,” this awkward translation of the phrase “all of your bases are under our control” swept across gaming message boards and forums in the late 1990s, giving rise to one of the first epic-scale “Photoshop memes” based on poorly translated quotes from Japanese video games and animes.
  3. (rare, countable, chiefly proscribed) An animated work, regardless of the country of origin.
