It's not my opinion that Animes and Cartoons aren't the same, IT'S PLAIN F

CKING OBVIOUS!!!
No one has ever made fun of me for watching "cartoons". Anyone who knows I watch Anime also knows that it
is Anime and not Cartoons. The others have made fun of Anime itself!!!! Calling it "Japanese" cartoons and then being apathetic and hateful of it because they're racist little bastards or because they make that Cartoon=Kids connention and look at all Anime as Pokemon or something!! I wish to eradicate this horrible and incorrent connatation that Anime has undeservingly recieved. Anime does not deserve to be remembered or known as Cartoons, and Cartoons do not deserve to be remembered or known as Anime.
When I watch Excel Saga, I am watching an Anime. When I watch Sponge Bob, I am watching a Cartoon. Alot of teens and even adults like watching Sponge Bob. It's actually very rare to see anyone being made fun of because they watch Cartoons. So, this "being made fun of" idea has nothing to with anything that I've said in all of these 14+ pages of this thread. (I'm sure that it has nothing to do with anything that
anyone has said here.) Saying that an Anime can be Cartoon makes it very pointless to call them Anime in the first place. They are different, and so each has recieved a different name, and shouldn't be called the other.
