Greetings! :)

Is there an 'American Guide to Anime' that has some definitions and
explanations about what happens in Anime, as in language and customs?

I've got no idea on this score. Sorry. :/

More immediate questions are ...
	What does 'Ranma no baka' mean?

More or less, "Ranma you JERK!"

	What does 'baka' mean?

Idiot or jerk.

	What does 'kawii' mean?

Kawaii = Cute! ^_^
