Anime is such a specific use, and this is disappointing for anyone with that use in mind. Naming things is hard I guess????

Anime (アニメ) is literally short for animation (アニメーション, animeishon).

literal meaning and widely accepted use meaning do not always align.

if I said Anime, would you think Tiny Toons, Family Guy, Toy Story, or Lion King? Or would you think DBZ, Akira, One Piece, etc?

Very cool, are there any comparisons with other animation libraries like gsap (which is proprietary)?

Framer Motion is a good modern alternative https://github.com/framer/motion

Im not really interested in react only solutions

Anyone recommend a good animation library to create 3D builds for watches as an example as I need it to be very detailed? I am about to start investigating and this is looking really interesting for the purpose.

The round: parameter demo appears broken.

Thanks for making this! I used it before and it is very good. Can recommend it for everyone who needs slick js animations.

To be fair the library name may be based on Japanese usage, where the term just means anything animated (including all the works you mentioned).

Anime is nice, however you should likely use Framer Motion these days if using React or Motion One if not (both are by the same creator but for different use cases).
