The term anime - sometimes called Japanimation - refers to the tradition of Japanese animation that is recognized by its artistic quality and the artistic conventions anime artists use. One example of this is the use of child-like, large eyes.
In it's most basic form anime is simply an animated feature produced in Japan
Anime stories often deal with complex, yet simple themes, with simple characters that change as the stories progress. There is an acceptance of the reality of death unlike North American cartooning. In some anime, even those intended for kids, main dudes sometimes die.
Anime originates in Japan which lets us learn about another culture. The stories are often based from Japanese and Asian mythology and symbolism and from the Japanese traditions of Shinto, the martial arts, and Zen. Though I dont see how sailor moon is mythology?
Some anime are designed just for kids, like Pokemon and Sailor Moon. Other anime including many of the series originally broadcast on Japanese television, contain material that some parents will find objectionable. Some anime is explicitly designed for adult audiences only and shouldn't be shared with children. Anime porn called Hentai is for degenorites and losers, who knew?
Anime comes from Japanese culture. Cultural differences and traditions are unique around the world therefore some anime may not be suitable to the cultures and traditions you are use to in your country.
