@Atkins that's what I said though

I only like animation with good plot

Personally, I don't treat the term "anime" as a sacred cow since it is a term used outside of Japan to distinguish it from other animation, whereas in Japan it is used for all animation. But I will up hold as technical term to distinguish anime as a spicific subset of cartoons made by the Japanese (disregarding that they sometimes cheaply outsourced labour) usually for the Japanese primarily (even if it might not be exclusively). *I type slow*

anime is a western definition

PLOT

good plot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSVkprXlc6k

use it with the intent it was created for the west

Diddies

otherwise call them "cartoons"

I think when it comes to art that trying to make concrete 100% definitions to define and categorize is often futile and pointless

where is the line between comic and manga

More PLOT

Manga is written the opposite direction

Same as anime, made by the Japanese for the Japanese

there are korean comics you couldn't distinguish from japanesse by anything else but names of characters

would you consider them manga ?

Only ever read them on Webtoons

And tbh knowing that, that might be what Korean ones are considered idk

The are called manhwa, like manga & anime, they are only distinguished for where itis made from.

Ah

The more you knoooow

manga is japanese

manhwa is korean

comics is everything else

simple

There is also one for chinese comics.

no doubt, every (almost) language has word for comic

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
