Japanimation. Anime. Japanese cartoons. Eastern cartoons. Eastern animation. Japanese Animation. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, JUST PICK ONE!

The world would be a lot better off if politcally minded people, wait, no, stupid people altogether would just shut up sometimes.

They are all CARTOONS/ANIMATION....BUT:

We use cartoons when referring to american animation mostly, and anime when refering to japanese animation. Some people say anime refers to more mature animation. This is entirely untrue. *cough* Hello Kitty is anime *cough*

Am i right or wrong?
How bout we change that to reading anime is eastern animation. There are a number of shows out there from other countries in Asia, although it's mostly just from Japan, that are considered anime. Narrowing it down to one specific country rather than a larger, more generalized area is too much of a tunnel-vision type syndrome...thing.

Saying Japanimation is acceptable, but mostly only to newbies. That guy from the Daily Show once said something about a widespread Japanimation invasion. I found it hilarious.

Calling somebody a Jap is like calling a caucasion a cracker, a native american an ingine(or something like that), a spanish person a Spich, etc., etc. It doesn't matter if the slanderous word is part of the original word, it's a deragatory term that was widely used after the Pearl Harbor incident. Besides where would they have come up with the slander if not from the name?

I'd like to see you go up to a group of Japanese people and after your concussion goes away then tell me how many broken ribs they gave you!

Hmm do you think they would like it better if they were called by their old name Japos? Besides unless they know karate I dont think I have to worry about a bunch of half pints kicking my ass.

It's funny how people think every asian person can fight. Kinda like the stereotype that every black person can play basketball, heh.

Don't you think that just MAYBE that's why he said "unless they know karate"? Nah...that would make sense. Goodness knows that can't be it.

Blame the simpsons for that. You can't bust a stereotype if Carl is that good at basketball. All you've done is spread the lie. Look what you have done to these people...

By the way how about Clerks? The ending of one of the episodes was finished in a Korean studio. Or so they said.
