They are both animation.

---- Here's what's different about anime:

Anime is a form of cartooning. The term is applied to the shows originating from Japan and to shows with a cretin artistic/plot style

At the end of world war two the US government assigned some top military people to help rebuild the nation of Japan. To the people of that nation these men were all but gods/emperors and the population treated there every word as such… When it comes to the attitudes of such men regarding censorship entertainment/films/TV shows/and pornography… It doesn't take rocket scientist to figure out that these men had a VARY right wing attitude about censorship especially so in comparison to the former Japanese culture. Consequently, what is acceptable for a live actor/actress in modern Japan is vary restrictive. But no such restrictions apply to Japanese cartooning. To further add to the popularity of the cartoon genre, It's a LOT easier to illustrate a sword slicing, your starship in half in a cartoon than it is in a live action medium.

The most common "differences" between Japanese Anime and American cartooning include

A. Culture references are more ashen of course… IE. Inuyasha's origin as a "half human/half demon wolf". Is a vary Japanese concept of a demon. [Had this show been plotted using "Western mythology he would most likely have been written as a lycanthropy.]

B. Plots are normally vary involved and frequently address much more mature questions/topics. IE: Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex addresses such questions as where is the real difference between Artificial Intelligence and cybernetics, and where do the two cross each others paths and the machine become as human as the person? Anime can also address topics normally considered taboo by US standards. IE RANMA½ address the subjects of gender, "Gender jumping" Trans gender, and even the topic of fetish.

C. Artwork/Anatomy: The anatomy of the characters is more detailed and accurate. Yet the faces remain vary stylized, with minimal mouth/jaw line, and nose, detailed hair stiles and LARGE expressive eyes. In fact it could be argued that the oversized and expressive eyes have become the signature of most anime.
