    Just wondering... why DO you even care where it was made? People in Japan don't.


    anime -- pronounced "ah-knee-may" -- is an abbreviation of the word animation. In Japan, the word's used to refer to all animation.

    Anime is a lot like sex. Done right it's a beautiful act of creation that brings a little more light into the world. If it's sick and wrong... it's even better.

    Now, if where the cartoon is made is so important, what about things like Gargoyles? Season one was made in Japan.




    Does that make it anime?
    Nope, because it was simply outsourced by Americans to make production costs cheaper.

    Who writes the show? Who directs it? Who decides what happens in the show?? What language is the show written for?? Thats what you need to look up. If all or most of those are "Japan" then its anime. If all or most of those are- America, Italy, Canada, Germany, etc then its that countries cartoon. People outsource things to other, cheaper, countries all the time.

    Ok, let me ask you this-
    What company is Apple? American? Chinese? Japanese? German?

    Because that defines what anime actually is. I don't care, stop jumping to assumptions. No one is dissing American cartoons.

    I'm just wondering why there is this supposed difference. The styles the same, American cartoons are dubbed into Japanese the same way theirs are dubbed here, up until the 90's most people would have said there was no real difference. Yet everyone keeps finding reasons to act as if there's some line on the Earth where anime can not be made... and then making excuses like if it's made in Korea or if an american made it...



    What about Ninja high school? It was made by an American.

    Tenchi Muyo was based on "I Dream of Jeannie"

    Ranma is based on an old TV show called" Turbo teen".

    Megatokyo is sold on the manga shelves right along everything else... and did you ever see Van Von Hunter? Or the Rising Stars of Manga?





    Seriously, give me a list of the differences besides who makes it and where it's made? Some valid non-race based reasons.
    Because so far all your reasons make you sound like Nazis. Silly Gaijin...

    EXACTLY! The line is all in your head. It's like who owns Roger and Jessica Rabbit, Disney or Warner Brothers? Disney released the Miyazaki films in this country

    And Tangled was given anime features for the characters.





    Is "Kingdom Hearts" anime? If not, why not since that's the Final Fantasy cast int here. If so, what about all those Disney characters running around the place? Sora is a Disney original... yet he appears to be an anime character. Along with his friends.

    Warner brothers
    No, she was given the standard Disney eyes, just in 3D
    Again, a collaboration between a Japanese and English developers.

    And the point I was making is just because "they got the idea from X" doesnt mean anything. Half of Disneys movies are based on childrens stories from OTHER countries, but its produced, written [for movie format with adaptions] and developed by Disney.

    Cinderella? French
    Bell too...in fact, the movie is based in France
    Hunchback? Also French
    Mulan? Chinese
    Alice? British
    The Black Couldron? Welsh
    Little Mermaid? Danish

    One day Disney will make a Japanese princess... or have they already and I am just forgetting? I think they still need Russia (Anastasia wasn't them) and Japan...

    She was Atlantian. Most people peg Atlantis to have been around places like: Egypt, Greece, Italy, etc.

    Also, Afro Samurai was based on a *manga* and made into an *anime* that was dubbed by Samuel L Jackson.

    I disagree. Japan IMO has stronger animation, but that doesn't mean American animation sucks.

    Just about every Japanese person I went to school with refered to all animation as "anime".. Even Disney Movies.

    Same with Manga and Comics. Spiderman was Manga to them.

    Who writes the show? Who directs it? Who decides what happens in the show?? What language is the show written for?? Thats what you need to look up. If all or most of those are "Japan" then its anime. If all or most of those are- America, Italy, Canada, Germany, etc then its that countries cartoon. People outsource things to other, cheaper, countries all the time.

    Ok, let me ask you this-
    What company is Apple? American? Chinese? Japanese? German?
    So if a Westerner living in Japan directs an Anime that was based off a Western tale (like Animes sometimes are) and he has a Japanese studio do the animation. It doesn't get outsourced to Korea or where ever is it still Anime?

    Sort of along these lines, is Knack a Japanese Video game? It's director is Mark Cerny, but he's living in Japan and SCEJ is doing it and it looks very Western and Pixar like.

    Again, it becomes a collaboration.

    So if a Western Animation Director happens to get hired at Studio Ghibli or Toei and does something it's never going to be "Anime"? Just a collaboration?

    No, because its Studio Ghibli. Unless hes *directing* it it really doesnt matter.
