Morphology

tranime + style

The noun 'style' is fully transparent (manner or aesthetic), but the first element 'tranime' is not a conventional English word and appears to be a coined blend involving 'anime' (and perhaps 'trans-/traditional'), so its exact meaning is not guaranteed. Because learners can partly infer that it relates to anime mixed with another tradition but cannot reliably derive the precise sense without exposure, the overall expression is only partially predictable.

Etymology

The noun tranime style may come from mixing anime and Western art: picture a character with big, shiny anime eyes together with more realistic Western faces and colors. So, the image of those mixed features explains why the term means a style that 'blends' both traditions.
