Actually, I meant that some idiot Language teacher is telling that...or anyone else who is telling them that "Cartoon" is the American word for "Anime".... not the person that translated the whole language.
------------------------
I'm also trying to tell you all that there is much more than just the origins that make Anime and Cartoons two very different things! Style!!! Think style!!!! Origin and Style!!!! Origin, Stlye, and Type!!! The list can go for a long time!
But, yeah, the origins should be enough for you to know that they ARE different things and have different names!! And that one is not the other!
-------------------------
I'm not sure what to call animated shows like Hey Arnold! and Kim Possible.... but they're not Cartoons or Anime!
--------------------------
I can't just relax if people are going around saying false things.....
And screaming breaks through that armor called "I'm not listening."
------------------------
Shows like DBZ and Gundam are more like Cartoons because what Cartoon Network did to them.... or rather... how they allowed them to be seen.... wait.... ahhh.... I'm not sure what I'm trying to say.... but I think you can get the idea.....
--------------------------
I just want you all to realize that "Cartoons" and "Anime" are not interchangable words.... They DO apply to two very different things. Animes are not Cartoons, and Cartoons are not Animes.
I like watching some Cartoons, like "Sponge Bob Square Pants", and some "anynomously named animated shows" like "Hey Arnold!" and "Kim Possible". And I really like watching Anime too!! I'm not someone who is embarrassed to say that they watch Cartoons! Yet, I know that Cartoons and Anime are not the same! I'm being very fair and this is still what I'm saying!
(actually, a side-note here... While I'm
not embarrassed to say that I'm OK with watching Cartoons, I'm
very proud to say that I love watching Anime..... And that doesn't alter my judgement about any of this)
