(correctly pronounced "ah- nee-may", but most people say " anee-may"): Japanese animation. Actually, the word animé is strictly Japan's word for animation in general, not just their own (so to the Japanese, Disney stuff would be "animé" too), but fans generally like to use the word to distinguish Japanese animation (which many fans are loath to class as mere "cartoons", being that the media is more the equivalent of America's movie industry in terms of depth, age range and genre range) from Western, kiddy-centric, animation. Animé is occasionally referred to as Japanimation by old-timers and ill-informed critics, and sometimes wrongly referred to as manga by non-fans.
