This is kind of difficult to explain, but I can give examples.
_Anyway_
>I hate studying for exams, but I did it anyway.
(In this case "anyway" means "regardless")
_After all_
>I thought you might be good at English. After all, you are an English teacher.
(In this case, "After all" is used when you want to support what you said in the first statement, in the second statement.)
_Anyway_
>Anyway, I need to go study now.
(In this case, "Anyway" is used almost as a filler word, it doesn't mean anything in particular, but it ends what you were previously talking about and it's used to change the subject of the conversation, or it's used to end the conversation.)
_After all_
> I am so hungry! After all, I didn't eat anything for breakfast.
(This is the same usage in the first sentence.)
