The definition for Anime that I personally use is "Animation written and targeted for a Japanese Audience", as there are aspects of Anime that are traditional/cultural that makes this style unique among the world. This will cover all the Anime features with in-between work done in Korea, China, and India, and would cover outside of Japan works, (such as the recent 'Highlander' Anime feature, which was made in Hong Kong, but produced by a Japanese director), though even this definition would have trouble with features such as 'Afro Samurai' which written, directed, and animated by Studio GONZO, but ordered and paid for by a US cable company
