I believe 'literal meaning' and 'widely accepted use meaning' do always align, by definition of 'meaning'.
'Anime' in English means cartoon that is at least partially originates from Japan. Or, a less common usage is cartoon that has the style of the former cartoons (e.g. Avatar). 'Anime' in Japanese or in French can mean different things.
