An animated work originated in Japan, regardless of the artistic style. It's from JAPAN. The meaning just crumbles down with that reasoning for your ownneonat wrote:
......Origination is still Japan isn't it? Since Japanese people. Not like it was by some Englishman.

If we don't stop fussing over it, we'd get OCD or smt like that.

What the Fark. It doesn't crumble. So an American decides to invent something and he isn't in the States, it doesn't become an invention from USA? Japanese is Japanese. He comes from Japan, its origin is Japan.

There's only a very few people who'd consider a 3D American action movie whatever an anime like you. Anime IN GENERAL must be 2D Japanese.Ichi wrote:
Anime is the cartoon animation made in japan, For instance Avatar (the american cartoon) has an anime style, the plot, characters, drawings, and many characteristics of typical anime are there. Avatar is considered an anime to me, so an anime would be any animation which has the characteristics of the japanese animation, which is a certain drawing style, a specific type of humour, characters and such. I mean c´mon if you watch anime you know what i mean. Anyone can freaking tell an anime from a cartoon like South Park. My little pony is not an anime, Pokemon is...
Sounds pretty ridiculous but... what if it's made in Japan by Chinese who can speak the native level Japanese and imitate anime style of drawing & animation to the point you can't tell any difference? Would you expect people to say it's not an anime?DaddyCoolVipper wrote:
if it's animation produced by the Japanese it's "anime"
note: Japanese call all animation "anime" and it's understandable if you call all animation "cartoon" instead of making a distinction. But for the sake of this thread, yeah, it's animation created by the Japanese
So I can say that there's no way DBZ & SnK would be anime in my freaking opinion.Excuse me, but they are anime, and that's a fact. Why don't think you so?

Personally, I'd say it's each person's perspective that really matters, every one may think of anime differently on their own way. So I can say that there's no way DBZ & SnK would be anime in my freaking opinion.
