42! wait but I'm only 19, ok nevermind.

I think a big point of difference is the fact that can and are are completly different.

By saying "Anime can be cartoons" does not mean "Anime are cartoons"

Yes, that's right.

I've said many times, "I'm just saying that Anime are not Cartoons". But still, even though some Anime may contain "Cartoon-like" material, I don't think that makes them able to be called Cartoons, because comedy in Anime didn't come from Cartoons. The comedy of funny Anime and Cartoons may be similar when they are mischievious/slapstick scenes, but somehow, that doesn't mean that a funny Anime can be a Cartoon.

I wouldn't go around generalizing now. There's good cartoons and horrible anime.

It would probably help everyone out if everyone posted what they thought the difference between "Anime" and "Cartoons" was... Like definitions or something.

Personally, I see no difference. Anime covers such a range of subjects and quality (both in animation and story) that if you call "Cartoons" kiddie-friendly animation, there's plenty of Anime that falls into that category. If "Anime" is just japanese animation, then it's just a regional kind of "cartoon." Personally, I like all animation (especially weird obscure stuff) so it makes no diff to me.

We've discussed the definitions many times. But it all comes down to the fact that Anime and Cartoons aren't the same, regardless of the definitions.

Wish I could say something, but the pic is just not coming up. I think my internet is screwed up right now. :( I can't even see the emoticons. But I'm sure it's great. I'll tell you when my computer will let me see it. :evil:

Cartoon includes comics, and animation, ALL ANIMATION. Animation includes that which is done by hand with computers or using clay. Anime is a name given to all Japanese animation therefore since it is animation it is a cartoon. I want to so GO TSUJI MANIA for yelling at all the nimrods who cannot get it thru their skulls that anime is a type of cartoon sure its not Sat. Morning stuff but they are 'toons. I adore anime and I study cartoons daily as it is my passion and life so I see the anime people getting bashed for "watching cartoons" as that is what they are doing and they do what these people are doing calling it anime and pretending that it is different. Anime for the most part (not including Pokemon, Yu-gi-oh, ect.) is considered to be for adults. Going by the definition many have stated that Anime is for adults/teens and cartoons are for children, how do you classify Simpsons, South Park, Baby Blues, Home Videos, Futurama, Dilbert, or King of teh Hill?

I'm so sorry Anime Jedi!! Ahhhh.. it's my fault the Emoticons or My Sig isn't showing up. I think if I change my Sig to a JPG instead of the Bitmap that it now, a-m-v.org might not have trouble loading it. Since it never finishes loading my Sig Pic, it won't go on to the rest the stuff (Emoticons) SORRY!!! :oops:

--------------

And RogeRgal, ANIMATION INCLUDES CARTOONS!!! Not the otherway around! :evil:
