| ''"I've heard that some people complain about the large eyes and small noses and mouths in Japanese manga. But I don't see a whole lot of difference when I look at Disney characters."''

| '''Anime''' are, to put it simply, cartoons from Japan. However, English-speaking anime fans often object to the use of the word "cartoon", as it really doesn't conjure the right image.
| |
|
| |
| Anime bears various qualities distinct from western animation, a few of which are easily recognizable even to the uninitiated westerner. Anime's more recognizable characteristics include, but are not limited to the following:
| |
|
| |
| *A distinctive artstyle, often characterized by [[BESM|big eyes and a small mouth]].
| |
| *A varied emotional iconography, including such (in)famous symbols as the cross-popping temple vein and the lascivious nosebleed.
| |
| *High graphical detail, but low framerate.
| |
| *A wide range of genres and topics, everywhere from shows starring [[Loli|preteen female superheroes]] who put on frilly dresses and [[Paladin|smite evil]] to shows starring testosterone-drunk, hot-blooded [[mecha]] pilots, to [[/d/|hardcore fetish pornography]].
| |
|
| |
| Mainstream western animation has started to take cues from anime within the last decade or so, with shows like ''Avatar: The Last Airbender'' and ''Teen Titans''.
| |
|
| |
| Being a fan of anime does not necessarily make one [[weeaboo]] under the stricter definition of the term, but if you are weeaboo you are almost certainly an anime fan, so most normalfags do not bother to make the distinction. A very, ''very'' large proportion of 4chan's userbase are anime fans, including many of the denizens of /tg/. As a result, anime-related images are frequently posted to /tg/. They also generally have very little to do with the topic itself.

|
| |
|
| |
| Here is a list of some /tg/-[[approved anime]].
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Many, if not most [[Drawfags]] will draw their females in a vaguely or obviously animooted style this tends to increase "fappable levels", if only just to make it more appealing to the <s>general crowd</s> weeaboos. Since 4chan's userbase is, as noted above, composed of 90% weeaboos, no one really complains about this.
