I would like to make a case for Avatar to be included

[TheDevian]

If the rule is only Japanese and was being enforced that way, then that is fine, it just 'seeeemed' like that was not the case, so I thought I would try. (tho still, it is far closer to Japanese than is A&S or Code Lyoko, and I maintain that position), but it would be nice to have a place for other stuff like it.



As for 'your case' Roku is also a Japanese word (the name of the last avatar), as is almost everything in there from the Fire Nation (even if some were spelled wrong). Lots of words are Japanese. It doesn't make it relevant to the discussion.

and actually the word Anime, is NOT a Japanese word, but a borrowed word from English that is a shortened form of Animation. If you go to Japan, then every animated anything is called anime. (just for the record)

"Japanese" as in "Japanese production or co-production".

If you think it would be nice to have a place for animate (not anime) music videos - go and make it?
I also think it would be nice to have a place for people who like to roleplay silver-haired girls with flat chests, but don't insist it should be here. And if I ever feel the need for such place would be cool, I'll go and help make it ;x

And I think most of the people here are familiar with the etymology of the word "anime". Thanks for those who didn't know anyway~

Yes they use the word 'anime' to describe anything animated, however if we were to use it that way we'd have to allow Spongebob Squarepants because the Japanese call it anime.

I bet the other kids in your Anime Club think you're sugoi.

The more important bit is that TEKnician is a moron and nothing he wrote in this thread is relevant.

More to the topic at hand, thank you for pointing out the videos that shouldn't have been there, the site has some safegaurds in place, but we need the occasional sweep of the system by self-styled rules lawyers looking for validation.

^^agreed code

and an edit button for this guy, in fact...how about for everyone! :O

if avatar's animation was done in japan would it be allowed here? isn't that the case with afro samurai?

Not too sure... but probably yes, depends on how the thing is organized.

isn't that the case with afro samurai?

No, afro samurai is based on a manga to begin with.
You could rather pull out Animatrix and some Studio 4°C stuff as examples, though...

[gotegenks]

oh, well then isn't that the case with animatrix and some studio 4c stuff then?

[mirkosp]

Hahah, I gotcha for real!
Nope, it's not even the case with those, actually, though they are closer examples that often get pulled off in these occasions. Animatrix as well as various other 4°C "grey" zone things were coproduced, whereas Avatar was only outsourced at most.
