what is anime'?

So we are loving all about anime' and stuffs that includes perfect figures, beautiful eyes, long and wavy swinging hairs and almost perfect personalities, but we never knew where the hell anime' came from. Here is a short background:

anime' -
          - Japanese for "animation,"
          -a Japanese style of motion-picture animation, characterized by highly stylized, colorful art, futuristic settings, violence, and sexuality

Let's also define manga (to be able to differentiate it with anime')

manga - is Japanese for "comic book, graphic novel," but anime largely are based on manga and until 1970s, anime were known in Japan as manga eiga or "TV manga." The two terms are somewhat confused in Eng.

Hope you get the difference.
