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.

uh anime is obviously cartoons, only that it has a way different perpective than the one from cartoons such as looney tunes,which is the perspective americans cartoons have. Anime always intends to create stories with powerful meaning and themes that tends to be directed to teens. That's what i think tho, many ppl might have a different view to that topic.

That depends on the imagination of the developeers if it has a good gripping story or not. The style in which it is animated does not really determine how good the story is or how mature it is you seem to be trying to pull them apart but yet saying they are the same Kind of a contradiction there man no offense.

Sometimes people get up in arms over anime being called a "cartoon" because they assume people are insinuating that it is a childish medium and they want to argue that it's for adults or it's a work of art or it's porn or whatever else. But when you get right down to it, anime is a type of cartoon. Sometimes it's Saturday-morning fare, and sometimes it isn't, but it's always a cartoon.

There are anime intended for little kids, pre-adolescence, teens, and mature audiences

If you think you that inqoute " Anime always intends to create stories [...] that tends to be directed to teens " then you haven't watch enough anime and cartoons or doesn't fully understand the concepts of both institutions

Of course, you have not. You nitpicked Looney Toons as the prime example of cartoons.

Though she does have a point when she said "Anime always intends to create stories [...] that tends to be directed to teens" The majority of people who watches Anime are teenagers or young adults but me agreeing to her doesn't mean I'm ignoring the number of Adults who watch Anime. Those people will forever have my respects.

When most western people say anime they're referring to Japanese animation, and when most people say cartoon they're referring to western animation. Sometimes cartoon can even mean western children's animation.

However, animation is just animation to me. I don't get mad when people call say... Dragonball Z a cartoon because that's just a western term for something that's animated. Also, anime in japan encompasses all animation from Adventure Time to Death Note. I wouldn't worry about it if I was you. I think cartoon is an acceptable term for all things animated no matter where it's from or age group it belongs to. Some anime fans just get upset when you refer to it as a cartoon because they think you think you're lumping it in with Spongebob or something when a lot of it is aimed toward adults.

So when I say: Anime are cartoons. Anime fans get upset because they think that I think i'm referring to something like spongebob ?
When in reality, I know the argument better than anyone ?

coz you are insinuating that what they are watching is for children.(not spongebob in particular) as for the argument of is anime really a cartoon or vice vrsa what argument is there really to be made? both of them are animated, both have plots, both range in story the only difference is where they were actually made.

But I didn't argue that anime is different from cartoons. Even back from the part one thread, I didn't argue that anime is not cartoons. I was in the Anime = Cartoons all the time.

But you however said " even if anime is more mature then cartoon "

Your defense was " Anime always intends to create stories [...] that tends to be directed to teens "

The only cartoons you know though is Looney Toons and Spongebob. You don't know what you're talking about dude. Like I said, have you seen the cartoons they air on fox and adult swim ?

Thu Jun 27, 2013 8:11 pm

the number of children"s cartoons outnumber adult cartoons so that why i picked them.. i based my argument on what first came to mind when someone thought about the word cartoons so i picked looney tunes as my subject and not family guy, the clevelend show, the simpsons, american dad etc. i picked what people watch growing up and what they are used to.

It's like you're comparing that anime has lots of mature themed titles than cartoons. This is what you are trying to say. Am I right? And you're basing maturity on that. Just like what Mazinkaiser said in post #33, the style (anime or cartoon) does not determine how mature it is. I would agree to you if you said that anime has more mature themed titles than cartoons but that would be another topic. lol xD

Fri Jun 28, 2013 10:29 pm

I was once convince that anime and cartoons are totally different but then I watched the anime Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt At first I thought it was a cartoon but after researching it(LOL) It was actually produced by a company called GAINAX
Since then I don't judge any anime/cartoon on how they are drawn or where they were made from..... I don't know if this is related to the topic but I just wanted to share my experience.... Please don't hate .T_T
