in Japanese culture, anime/aen3mei/ is a revered/rivird/（受人崇敬，推崇的） artistic medium, enjoyed by men women, young and old, and more recently, on every continent.
anime transcends（胜过，超越） cultural boundaries and can be used as a vehicle（传播媒介，媒介物） to tell any kind of story imaginable.
great anime aren't just quality entertainment, they also offer cutting（尖酸刻薄的？锋利的，尖锐的→敏锐的） social commentary, philosophical musing（沉思→反省？） and much much more.
not your grandfather's Saturday morning cartoons, to be sure.
