Anime refers to the Japanese version of animation/cartoon. It has very distinct style and characterization from U.S. version of animation. Unlike U.S. cartoon, anime is not strictly meant for children. It comes in many genres for all sorts of people. In anime, it is very common that some of the main characters die in the story even if the particular anime is intended for children. This is not a common practice in U.S. cartoon where it tends to protect children from death.
