1. 'Anyway' most often means 'what was said before does not matter'.
I can't remember when Shakespeare died. Perhaps it was in 1614 or 1515 - anyway, I know it was around then.
'What about going out this evening?' - Oh, I don't know. I've got a bit of a headache. And anyway, Tomas's coming to see me, so I ought to stay in.'
2. Do not confuse 'anyway' and (in) any way (= any method'). Compare the following:
Can I help you in any way?
S/he wasn't very polite, but anyway, I helped her/him.
