n. A style of animation developed in Japan, characterized by stylized colorful art and often adult themes.
cartoon
noun
1. a humorous or satirical drawing published in a newspaper or magazine
2. a film made by photographing a series of cartoon drawings to give the illusion of movement when projected in rapid sequence
According to this the only difference is where its made. So anything made in Japan is an anime. But then does that mean there can't be an american made Anime? hmm.

Yeah but in Simpsons they just get randomly revived the next episode or next second like nothing ever happened!
In Dragon Ball Z if Goku dies there has to be a whole sequence of episodes to get all the Dragon Balls and revive him.
I mean yeah you could explain it like that but anime gives more personification to the characters and puts them in a world where it's possible to get hurt in MOST anime's.
Or you could look at it like cartoon character's are actors in a movie that don't really have storylines and such but in anime it's like real life but with people with energy blasts and prehistoric beasts running around all taped by zombie Einstein with his esteemed colleagues Frankenstein and Santa Claus.
You get what I'm saying?
