A disgusting bastardisation of Japanese culture and childrens television to provide really bad entertainment for adults.

Pronounced 'aneem'.

See also Hentai?.

(Perhaps you might tell us why tv shows and movies such as Evanglion and Akira are a "disgusting bastardisation" and are "really bad entertainment". They are the only good non-comedy cartoons for people older than 12 and many people enjoy them. -- SimonCrosby )

Because grown ups can imagine, and picture real people in the jobs of real people, without having to have them have little yellow sidekicks or robot backpacks that fly them to the stars! :)

Because it's the artform that bought the world Sailor Moon, Dragonball Z and Pokemon.

Because I want to dislike it. Hmph.

(Chalk another one up for 'inappropriate use of the wiki' :)
