Anime has been influenced by traditional cartoons, so the question should be responded in that context. Anime creations tend to use variations of old techniques occupied before in old cartoons. Both genres share basic elements in any case, going from the way in which the story is told by the artists to the quality of the drawings. In a more traditional cartoon, the plot starts in a clearly marked point, then unfolds and usually will end at the final portion of one single episode. In anime on the other hand, the plot can last several episodes and is often separated into individual sagas that are connected to the many characters involved in the overall narrative and some of it could include content geared towards adults.
