That's no reason to specify that the cartoons are Japanese. Especially when they're not even always Japanese. Lots of cartoons come from China or Korea that get called Anime.

It's very often relevant. Anime has a significant following in the US and it's useful to quickly differentiate it as an interest.

It's technically incorrect to call anything but Japanese cartoons anime, but colloquially it can be understood that they come from different countries.

If you wanted to, then you would abbreviate it as anima

Anima already has a different meaning in western culture.
