I sometimes say anime is Chinese Cartoons, or my personal favorite Mongolian Moving Pictures as a joke

my only point is. If a new term is used for a sub-category, don't reuse that new sub-category for everything else

there's no reason for people to call an american cartoon, **an anime**

Manhua for Chinese/Taiwanese comics.

yea I agree Belial

unless they are trying to profit from that group

with ill intent

Ultimately normies will call it whatever the first thing that comes to mind is tbh

Prefer referring to anime as "Japanese Children's Cartoons" as my joke name for it.

i usually just go with ching chong cartoons

Which is why Kill la Kill is my favorite Japanese Children's Cartoon.

Lol

and my favorite ching chong cartoon is cory in the house

Anime can be offensive term, please refer to it as cartoon for autistic children. Thank you

Cory in the house is anime of the century prove me wrong

@Tohob can't wait for an american studio to call their cartoon a **ching chong cartoon**

also, is shelter anime? i remember that one getting people banned from r/anime

yes

70's Japanese Children's Cartoon

was done for the japanese market (also for the outside, but still)

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Best opening in the world

so if japan made something for a non-japanese market, it wouldn't be anime?

Jaden Smith's .. thing.. ??

cuz they've been globalizing the hell out of anime recently

We posting Cutie Honey OPs now!?!

Well good luck because I already posted the best one.

It's not even close after that.

@Tohob the problem with defining the boundary is.. what's your intent on doing so?

Jaden Smith’s..........thing uuuuhghghhh

Nooooooooo

Re:Cutie Honey suuuuucks.

i'm actually making the opposite point, when you try to define a strict boundary it starts getting ridiculous and convoluted and you might as well just leave a big fuzzy border where things can be anime or not

Take dat bak U!

Mean.

also i would post the best ED in anime, but iirc youtube removed all instances of it

if you don't want strict term, just use animation
