The art ranges from the spiky hair seen in some anime to the heavily painted drawings seen in anime like Proxy to the movie adaptation of blood pluss.  There is a long range of style between there. Stories range from silly and light to serious and heavy tone. Heck, the really deep stories they can't even show on american television because of their realistic nature.  Some have heroes, some have heroins some have loose translations of antiheroes thats as close to anything to root for during the series. Anime is traditionally heavy on dialogue, something you don't find in a lot of media that has action in it.  The writing, even in the light stuff, is traditionally heavy as the explanation is often as important as the actions.  This primarily is what separates one anime from another.  What would separate a save the universe anime like dragon ball z to a save my home anime like Naruto (to use the most popular american adaptation).  For fans its the difference between slayers and Record of Lodoss War. Then there's the genre which I think alot of people on here are confused about, because there are at least 4 or 5 different sub genres. First, we can seperate them in fantasy and scifi. Then they break out into those that are pg and those that are r. Those that are x is hentai and not considered anime.</blockquote>
