the new crunchyroll series i definitely wouldn't call anime, it just looks like an american cartoon

specially when they market as in "pay for this to save the anime industry"

and try to guilt trip everyone into paying

and while i don't go nearly as far as Geoff "steven universe is anime" Thew, i do believe that anime can be made outside of japan

Yeah, I've seen how a lot of their staff acts online towards people who dare to watch anime in ways they don't approve of and it's pretty humorous

That Guardian Spice thing looks very Steven Universe.

ways they don't approve of?

anime is anime because of distinct art and animation style, having one or the other alone doesn't make it anime

ergo that shit from crunchyroll can't be anime

They'll hound people on twitter for watching anime on pirate streaming sites despite that being how they started

well, the art and animation is one part of it, i would say there is more that goes into it than just that

broadly speaking

Yeah, there's more to it than that for sure. There's a lot of anime with unique art styles that most wouldn't think of when they think of as anime, but it's still anime

also i've got an interesting question that's strangely on-topic

is panty and stocking with garterbelt anime

Yes

Yes, duh

yea

why

It's Japanese animation

Is Avatar and Legend of Kora anime

And it follows in that tradition as well

No.

actually most of it was animated in the us wasn't it ?

And Steven Universe is animated in Korea, but it's not Korean

The lines are a bit blurred sometimes I’d say

Also the French make good stuff

Wakfu is a great not-quite-anime

Or as my friend calls it “bread anime”

Wakfu is my one of my faves

i mean, P&S is as inspired by american animation and culture as avatar is by japanese animation and culture

I’m watching the newest season

I’ll only watch in subs though cause the French voice acting is better for some of the characters

Like Nox

He sounds better in French

More evil crazy broken guy

if it isn't made for the japanese market, it isn't anime

simple

English one is generic villain af
