Anime are Cartoons pt 2.

First topic message reminder :

OK indeed this is part 2 but will be explained in greater detail so i can get it into the heads of those who oppose this.

First of all lets define what a cartoon is shall we.
1. It is 2d.                                                                                   Can mean hand drawn

2. It is entertainment                                                             or computer animated
3. Cartoon is referred to be only western.                  

 


Now lets define anime


1. It is 2d
2. It is entrainment

3. Anime is referred to be only be Japanese

Sound similar don't they?.
Because they are

Anime is a style of cartoon.            (A STYLE)
Just like cg animation is basically a type or genre of cartoon.
Calling anime a cartoon is not an insult.
Sure Japanese people call western cartoons , cartoons because of where it is from. BUT REMEMBER these are styles. For example the rare occasion of a Chinese anime. Its called anime because of the style that it has been made in.
which is the traditional Japanese style.

And don't try compare things like better animation and story.
STYLES HAVE DIFFERENT STANDARDS OF QUALITY.
This concludes a more detailed explanation if needed i will edit and explain more.
Red = don't get offended Green= important Blue = eye catcher.

They are just the same

Cartoons just came from the west

I tried explaining this to my friends but they wouldn't listen...

atleast now I know that I'm not the only one who thinks this

Topic Moved: From Anime Discussion to Members Chit Chat

Hell it is. Early Anime Companies got inspirations from the Old Disney that happens to make Cartoons. And...is it just common sense? I mean, come on, anime = cartoon.
