I mean to travel around diversion in the east (5)

I believe the answer is:

anime

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'diversion in the east' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.

'i mean to travel' is the wordplay.
'to travel' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'travels' mean this).
'i'+'mean'='imean'
'imean' anagrammed gives 'ANIME'.

'around' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for anime that I've seen before include "Japanese cartoon style" , "Japanese cartoon film genre" , "Drawing style" , "style of Japanese film" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
