I'm not sure what exercise you call "Anal Breathing". May be it is a wrong name. I can think of a few techniques that can be to some extent called such a name.
First of all the Kegel's as described above. Then yes, you can breath with your anus as with any other part of the body. Of course you do not inhale oxigen, it's just a form of meditation. You imagine air or energy entering your body and exiting it from a certain spot. This draws attention to the spot and can help with healing, improving control and other objectives. I don't remember if there is any specific purpose for breathing with the anus, but there might be some.
Then there is contracting and building strength of anal sphincter. It is good for health and helps to improve control of pelvic muscles. At some point of another I've done all of these techniques and found that each works as advertised.
