For the origin of the word "anime", although I've read better, but left my bookmarks at home...
But the word "animation" is not used in French to refer to "cartoons" like in English, which is why I said Japanese took the word from English. But that may sound stupid to argue about that, as "animation" is a Latin word that exists in English, French, Spanish or Italian, so it could come from any of those, except that the pronunciation is different and only in English does the 2nd "a" in animation sound like a Japanese "e" (anime). If it was the abbreviation of the French word, it would be "anima". Fair enough ?Literal origin from the French, (short for "animation").
