Okay, look. I flamed you for nothing, and I apoligize. But your definition is wrong. Anime is Japanese Animation. Samurai Jack would be considered american animation.

Hehehehe..... I bet there is one Japan based animation forum where the members argue over American cartoons and how they should be called.

Member 1: Scooby-Doo is animation to the Gaijins, and anime to us!
Member 2: Scooby-Doo is anime all around!
Member 3: Scooby-Doo is animation to us and anime to the Gaijins!
Member 4: Scooby-Doo is the suxxors!
Member 5: I like the Jetsons.

well you can think/say whatever you want, but to me and most (non-japanese) aniem fans, anime is Japanese Animation. But either way, there is no reason to argue about it lol, such a trivial topic

I agree with Nick. The de facto thought that pops up in most Western peoples' heads when they hear "anime" is "Japanese Animation", as well as an image of Speed Racer, a mecha, or La Blue Girl

.

It's kind of a moot argument though, since many East and West animation companies will off load some of the drawing work to Korean studios. I know "The Simpsons" does this, and they even mentioned Asian outsourcing in the episode about the "Itchy And Scratchy" movie. Japan, being even closer to Korea, probably does this also.

From one of my "old forum" posts...

10 print "Anime is JAPANESE animation! Look it up!"
15 print "In Japan, 'anime' can refer to American animation too."
20 print "But we're not in Japan!"
25 print "Being made in Japan doesn't always make it better."
30 print "What about Japan/other country co-productions?"
35 print "Shut up!"
40 print "Screw you, hippie!"
45 goto 10
