First of all I want to thank you for bringing that up because I'm going to personally make sure that is fixed.
characterized by stylized colorful art, futuristic settings, violence, and sex.
First of all, let's look at the socalled "characteristics".
Colorful art-
So animation from America is not colorful? And since this is a characteristic, what about animations from Japan that are not colorful?
Futuristic settings-
Likewise, are you saying there are no futuristic animated epics from the rest of the world?
Violence-
Heavy Metal, Dog of Flanders
Sex-
Heavy Metal again and any Japanese animated program that doesn't include sex.
Perhaps even more important is that you neglected to see the source of this definition.

This is the 'highschool drop-out' of English language dictionaries. Now had this been in a Websters or Oxford dictionary, which are considered to be the premier dictionaries for the English language, then I would have to change my view, but a definition that trite would NOT appear in such dictionaries because they're of high standards and have the least amount of errors.
That definition is awful really. No offense to you whatsoever, and like I said, I'm really glad you posted it, but how can one characterize an entire country's work.
