It's not so much what differentiates anime from hentai; anime after all is specifically an art style or way of drawing figures, not a specific genre like hentai. Anime can like Western animation be used in any genre ranging from children's films to serious dramas. Anime (or Japanese animation) can tell a story just as well as a Western animated film or a live action film. But in general conversation Anime also refers to Japanese animated films and shows that are made for general audiences.
Hentai is basically the live action film equivalent of pornography. The same drawn elements found in Anime: body proportions, over exaggerated eyes, and tendency for over stylized facial expressions apply in a hentai but have overt sexual themes ranging in explicitness. Hentai is usually reserved for adult audiences only and may or may not have plot, just like in live action pornography.
