(tho still, it is far closer to Japanese than is A&S or Code Lyoko, and I maintain that position), but it would be nice to have a place for other stuff like it.
As for 'your case' Roku is also a Japanese word (the name of the last avatar), as is almost everything in there from the Fire Nation (even if some were spelled wrong). Lots of words are Japanese. It doesn't make it relevant to the discussion.
TheDevian wrote:and actually the word Anime, is NOT a Japanese word, but a borrowed word from English that is a shortened form of Animation. If you go to Japan, then every animated anything is called anime. (just for the record)

In the org FAQ:TheDevian wrote:What constitutes an "Anime" as far as this site is concerned?
What kind of videos can I put on the database?
The simple answer is ‘anime music videos that you have made’. If the source footage is entirely made up of non-anime sources, then it doesn't belong here. ‘Anime’ here is essentially defined as Japanese animation, including things like cutscenes from Final Fantasy games and so on. Non-Japanese animation and non-animated source are not allowed although we are lenient with anime-inspired original animated or drawn creations that the members have made.
Any videos that break any of the site rules (including but not limited to abuse of other members) are not allowed. Videos that contain pornographic footage of any kind cannot have a direct download link on the database. All such videos should be indirect and have an advisory warning before downloading the video. Further information about requirements can be read on the "Enter a New Video" page.
If you are not sure whether your video meets these criteria, do not enter the video. Instead ask in the forums (in Site Help), giving a rough account of what your video contains. The administration withhold the right to remove any videos deemed inappropriate for this site.

TRUE ENOUGH. This WAS their best attempt to date. But I really hate Nickelodeon, period.TheDevian wrote:Avatar actually captures the style and feel of a real anime. Other than having been in English first, it is more 'Anime' than any other attempt made in the west
and what would THEY know about it? (again, sorry, I had to say it.... I tried to resist...we'd have to allow Spongebob Squarepants because the Japanese call it anime.
TheDevian wrote:The problem is the line gets thinner every day. Things like Avatar, Puffy Ami Yumi, Dragon Age movie [being made in Japan but based on an American game, produced by an American company in a Japanese studio, in the style of the original art, but in Japanese, in conjunction with an American dubbing company...], South Park's 'Good Times with Weapons' episode, (could even include things like G-Force in the 'fine line' category), so many fine lines and people just walking all over it (or maybe we should say the line got so wide that all these people can now drive on it).
