Anime is japanese cartoons made more for adults/teens than children. They are more action filled. They have more adult themes. I guess you could say they are similar, but not the same.

I don't want to insult you, so I will put this a kindly as I can. That statement is amaizingly false. There is anime for very young girls, and there is anime for middle aged perverts. You are right that most anime that makes it out of Japan, is intended more for an older audiance, but look at things like pokemon. No insult intended, if I did insult you. I can't realy tell anymore. You made no mistake. It's just a small amountof missinformation.

Ya. Anime could be considered a subcaigory of cartoon. Cartoons are the broad term, and Anime defines the style. The second part, I can't answer because I realy don't know. I have heard people call american cartoons, with the same style as japanese anime, being refered to as anime, but I don't know weather that is right or not.

Anime, is primarily Japanese. While cartoons are more from everywhere else. Anime uses a style of image, that puts alot of focase on eye size, and hair in anime defys the laws of physics, as well as being colors which hair can not be naturaly.

No expert, just a nerd, with a bit to much free time.
