subbed-the anime's in japanise, and the SUBtitles are in english
dubbed- the anime was in japanise, but somone got there hands on it, and dubbed it into american
raw a dubb-less and subb-less anime/manga in japanise (usualy better quality)
direct download just what it sounds like..
ova-Original Video Animation
seeders if you use a BT client (and irc?).. there people who share anime they already downloaded. without seeders, there be no anime on the BT network.
there's blood in the anime in its original format before the production edits it all out its called, and i quote, "its somthing 4kids does to anime somwhere during the time the **** up the translation, cut out the good seens, and toatly destroy the anime, just to make it "suitable" for little kids, who dont care about it anyway" (perfect example.. CARD CAPTOR SAKURA)
