ANIME... not cartoon...

Anime is a cartoon.
I think that some people here have forgotten that not all cartoons are for kids. Has any one here seen Spawn? And I wouldn’t say that anime is more realistic either. I’ve never seen a mech walk down the street, or someone explode because someone else thought at them. Daria was more realistic then most of the anime I’ve seen.

You guys wrote alot of things... and as much as I wanted to respond to everything... I'm just going to write this...

First off, MAKE SURE THAT YOU READ EVERYTHING THAT I SAID!!

Now, if you wanna keep this simple:

Anime means Japanese Animation.
Cartoon means American Animation with comic mischeif and such.
American Animation without the comic unrealistic mischeif is just gonna called a "Show" unless you got a better word.

-----------

Ahh... I've got time!!! I'm gonna respond to some things afterall!!!

I know what Dragon-Half is about. I would call that a Funny Anime!!! Or maybe someone knows the Japanese word for "Funny Anime"..... I sure as hell would never call something like Excel Saga a Cartoon!!

The comedy of Dragon-Half and Excel Saga is alot deeper than the comedy of Cartoons anyway!!! THEY ARE FUNNY ANIMES!!!!
--------

Like I said in my second post, NeoHentaiMaster: If you don't know enough about Cartoons and Animes to realize that they are not the same, you DO NOT know enough to say they are the same. You know that they have two different names, so even if you don't give a shit, just knowing that they have two different names is enough!!!

-------

That's right OmniStrata!!! Show them Cool Devices!!! And if they still say it's a Cartoon, don't show them again! They'll come back begging for more!

-------

Very convincing messge Digital_Sakura! I don't have time to respond right now, but I will definitely later!

-------

I ran of time.... ahh... I'll add more later!

Japan considers everything they import into their country (Disney, Beavis and Butthead, South park) anime as well.

EXACTLY.

And like I said, that's only cause some idiot translator is telling them that "Cartoon" is the Japanese word for "Anime", and vice-versa!

--------------------

"Anime" does mean "Animation" in Japan, but that doesn't mean that they are Cartoons!! Like I said, "If you truly believe that Cartoons and Anime are the same just because both are animated, then you are a primative fool who can only grasp the most basic of concepts!"

I don't care what "Anime" and "Cartoon" technically mean.... I know that they are not the same!!! You think "Gay" means "Happy" anymore?!!! NOOOOO!!!! IT'S THE SAME THING WITH "ANIME" AND "CARTOON"!! Since new words have came, they have different meanings now!!! They are both types of animation, but that's where the similarities end!!!! The word "Anime" is used to for the Animation from Japan with that certain style that we have all know, there's no real definition, but we know what Anime is.... or at least, we can recognize when something actually is Anime. And "Cartoon" is for those certain animated (or still-framed) comic-mischeif skits. GROW UP ALREADY!!! Don't you have anything better to do than terrorize true anime fans with your jealous, envious, wannabe talk?!!!!

I know Cartoons are not just for kids!! Spawn is not a Cartoon or Anime, by the way! It's a animated movie!!!

I don't care about how realistic "Daria" may be..... Anime still is alot more imaginative and breaks reality with creative material very ahead of its time!! Daria isn't a Cartoon or Anime anyways!! That just goes under "A show".
------------------------

Now to continue where I ran out of time ealier! (I was writing it in school!)

Anime Jedi, the breasts of the average Cartoon char are no match for the breasts of the average Anime char.... that's what Digital_Sakura was getting to.

I find it hard to consider Hamataro and Hello Kitty as Anime... despite there origins.

--------------

I can talk about Digital_Sakura's huge post now that I have time!

First off, that post is very entertaining!! I would've laughed out loud if I wasn't in school when I read it! Those's Cartoon Vs Anime references are very funny!!

I'm sorry...

IT'S JUST TOO FUNNY.... I can't respond to anything.... Very well said Digital_Sakura!!!! That's a way to get those immature blind freaks!!!

-------------

If you actually read all of this, I must congratulate you!

AHHHH!!!! TYPO IN FIRST SENTENCE!!!

This is what I should have said:

That's only cause some idiot translator is telling them that "Cartoon" is the American word for "Anime", and "Anime" is the Japanese word for "Cartoon"!

One idiot translator duped an entire country; thank god you brought this to our attention.

I don't even know how to respond to that.

This is a basic concept. The fact that anime and cartoons are the same thing is just about the most basic, simplified, no assembly required, just add water concept there is. The only difference is which side of the planet they are made on.

If it's out of Japan use a Japanese word to describe it, like anime. If it's out of the states use an English word to describe it, like cartoon.

If it's not live action 99.9% of the time it's a cartoon. Just because it’s serious doesn’t mean it’s not a cartoon. What else do you call an animated program? And don’t say show, because every thing is a show.

PS: please calm down Clara, it’s not that big a deal.

Sounds like somebody is embarased that they like cartoons.

Sure bugs bunny isn't anime, and Jin Roh isn't just a cartoon but so what!
I just think of it as Anime actually has a story line and usually plot, cartoons are just enjoyable to watch and don't have a story line.
Thats why shows like G Gundam, and DBZ are more of a cartoon and shows like Akira and Cowboy Bebop are Anime.

Actually, I meant that some idiot Language teacher is telling that...or anyone else who is telling them that "Cartoon" is the American word for "Anime".... not the person that translated the whole language.

------------------------

I'm also trying to tell you all that there is much more than just the origins that make Anime and Cartoons two very different things! Style!!! Think style!!!! Origin and Style!!!! Origin, Stlye, and Type!!! The list can go for a long time!

But, yeah, the origins should be enough for you to know that they ARE different things and have different names!! And that one is not the other!

-------------------------

I'm not sure what to call animated shows like Hey Arnold! and Kim Possible.... but they're not Cartoons or Anime!

--------------------------

I can't just relax if people are going around saying false things.....
And screaming breaks through that armor called "I'm not listening."

------------------------

Shows like DBZ and Gundam are more like Cartoons because what Cartoon Network did to them.... or rather... how they allowed them to be seen.... wait.... ahhh.... I'm not sure what I'm trying to say.... but I think you can get the idea.....

--------------------------

I just want you all to realize that "Cartoons" and "Anime" are not interchangable words.... They DO apply to two very different things. Animes are not Cartoons, and Cartoons are not Animes.

I like watching some Cartoons, like "Sponge Bob Square Pants", and some "anynomously named animated shows" like "Hey Arnold!" and "Kim Possible". And I really like watching Anime too!! I'm not someone who is embarrassed to say that they watch Cartoons! Yet, I know that Cartoons and Anime are not the same! I'm being very fair and this is still what I'm saying!

(actually, a side-note here... While I'm not embarrassed to say that I'm OK with watching Cartoons, I'm very proud to say that I love watching Anime..... And that doesn't alter my judgement about any of this)
