I would say it is used when the speaker wishes to change the topic of conversation either slightly away from its present course or on to a completely different topic. "Anyway" and "anyways" are pretty much interchangeable, though in a purely grammatical sense there is a right way and a wrong way to use each word. In practice there is little difference.
"Anyhow" is a less frequently used word that means essentially the same idea. "Anyhoo" is a very informal, somewhat slang way of saying/writing "anyhow" and is best served in being used in an informal setting or in writings of informal tone.
