"Japanimation" is antiquated and no longer in use by anyone as far as I can tell. The term Anime, in general English use, has evolved into being a shortened form of animation, just as it is in Japan and Europe.

Let's not even get into how an English term that is a French loaner-word to describe a product from Japan that is well accepted to be heavily influenced from America to produce the likes Crayon Shin-chan which can be considered Anime while shows like Robotech can not be is anything but beyond ridiculous.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with referring to this production from the Middle East as "Anime" exactly like the Japanese would and pretty much everyone else in the world would refer to is as.
