    In the early 90s, some companies in Japan wanted it renamed to "Japanimation" to emphasize the national origins of anime. They failed (partly because it makes you say "jap", but mainly) because the fanboys prefered the shorter "anime", because it was the "real" term, and it signified transcultural reinterpretation ( disney style animation -> anime (japanese) -> anime (english)) and also happened to be nation-neutral. There's international anime today, and the aesthetic is international, so, the fanboys chose the best usage.
