Well yeah. Stateside if it follows the anime art style it's considered anime. Same goes for manga. I could go out and write a manga (if I was any good, which I'm not) and get it published by Tokyopop or Del Rey or whoever and it would be labeled a manga, I could even use a Japanese pen name and then nobody could tell the difference. Unless they traced the source and found out it was never released in Japan. You know the saying "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"? Well the same could be said for whether something is anime or not. But there is a need for a strict definition regardless, because if not, we'd have hundreds... no thousands of non-anime AMVs or sort-of-anime AMVs floating around the org.
