Anime is what's called a loan word in japanese, a word borrowed from another language but pronounced using the extent of the japanese alphabet, and anime happens to be the equivalent of our word animation. So if you want to get technical, animation has always been anime. They call looney toons anime, we call sailor moon anime.
