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

let people choose their community. There's people that only like American Cartoons

let them

I like Anime and French Animation mostly

American hasn’t impressed me lately

sure, just don't call everything "Anime"

It's totally OK for people who only like one type of animation to just like that one type. I don't think anyone is saying otherwise.

But saying this Crunchyroll thing is anime just isn't true.

I don’t really

@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*
