(As I was told por my mother a few years ago, it could totally be wrong...) The word 'anime' was once a Spanish word (again, I could be wrong) and the Japanese coined it to mean their own animation. animê isn't just animation, what determines animê is who wrote it/animated it. So for example, Young Justice and The Front may look akin to Japanese anime, but since Americans (or just non Japanese) wrote it, it wouldn't be considered anime. animê can look any way it wants, there's no specific style of which all manga-ka/animators use, like I said, it's really about who wrote it that determines it. So just because something is animê or written por someone Japanese doesn't necessarily mean that their eyes have to be big or drawn a certain way, though it is known that the most detail is put into the eyes and the hair. And my last, last last thing that I have to say about the difference between animê and desenhos animados is the quality. As my un-bais opinion, I feel as if desenhos animados are directed mostly to children/younger teens, albeit Adult Swim and the like. animê comes in many different ways, different plotlines, art, age group and what-have-you, it's not just DBZ and naruto and pokémon and all that....there's an animê for everyone, whether you're into Shounen, Shoujo, Ecchi/Hentai, Yaoi/Yuri, Moe, you name it! Everyone has an animê that's theirs.
