Anticipation is sometimes a pause before a big action or the slowing of a movement so that the viewers can be prepared for a fast action such as like the anticipation in road runner, like when road runner is about to sprint off, road runner hangs in the air for second or two so that the viewers know that he is just about to sprint off because if he just sprinted off then it would be too quick and people would be wondering what happened. The video is below:
Also for referencing i used a video of me jumping:
I did a stickman jumping from one side to the other, below are the tests.
I didn't really like this test because it doesn't really look like a jump, you can tell its a jump but the start it seems to glide and there not much anticipation it in. The spacing needs to be worked on because that it flows too much, there is no ease in or ease out. 
This test does look better than the first since ive held some of the frames a bit longer like when the stickman bends his knees to jump and when he reaches the ground after the jump he slowly gets up not like on the first test where he shoots up. 
For the final animation i have took some frames out so that it doesn't look like the stickman is gliding, also i have redrawn some of the frames at the start that the stickman is more closer together when he goes to jump which looks better. I have also played about with the spacing a lot more and held the frames at the start to show anticipation before the jump but not so much that it wouldn't look realistic. Theres not much that i would change about this final piece except that i would want to make it more real from the fact that when he jumps the angles wrong on the way down, when you jump like that the angles more straight but i did that for more of an cartoony effect.
