Define: Anime

I wouldn't call it stereotyping. More like turning the slang into the word. Language changes and meanings are given based on the culture's view of it. I see no problem with it..

though I doubt that will stop the anime vs cartoon arguements on forums anyway. I don't see this as being worth losing sleep over.

I already said that.

You put it differently.

But yeah.

Totally unrelated, but OMDW, you changed your avatar. And yet...it's the same.

It's an experiment for Halloween ^^

I'm sorely tempted to keep it.

An experiment? The hell? I just figured you wanted to keep the same pose as your Kare Kano avatar

. I liked that one better BTW

Well, I did choose it because the pose is spookily similar.

And sorry to drag this even farther off topic, but which one do you like more exactly?

I liked the Kare Kano one more. It's kind of like how everyone was used to my Soujirou avatar. I was just used to it...you hotty you.

kthulhu wrote:Seems accurate, for a start, but it needs to be expanded. Perhaps a better definition would be:

"Japanese film and television animation, encompassing a broad range of genres and themes, and sometimes including violent or sexual content."

I like that definition, its clear and concise. Here is an addition.

Anime = from asia, like Japanese, China, and other asian countries

Cartoons = from the united states.

Too bad that generalization is WRONG. Anime is a term from the Japanese and thus is for Japanese Animation.

Korean and Chinese Animations have been called just that Korean and Chinese Animations.
