japanimation is just a shortening of japanese animation (i hope you could figure that out

) i know it was used on cartoon network a long time ago and i know a few 20somethings that use it.

side note: a few years ago, cartoon network showed some "japanimation"...does anyone remember what they showed? it was pre-toonami.

Excellent point Angel! Never thought of that. But we don't need to get rid of all barriers. Not communicating is a barrier, right? Never mind, I have been beat by Angel

Chef:
Don't worry, I knew what it was for.

I just didn't think it was an actually used word. Sounds too weird. I actually prefer to say japanese animation.

SUICIDE IS THE ANSWER

I didn't think japanimation was a word

It is. And it's used in Japan as well. Not as frequently as "Japanese animation" but when you see enough promos, you'll come across it.

from Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy Radio Scripts

I agree no more barriars would rock even if it did have setbacks. AND HITCHHIKER STUFF ROCKS!!!!! For those of you who have not read the books or read/heard the radio show it is very insiteful and will answer such pressing questions as the one above so you may want to do so. Also for Chef, I had never thought that calling Japan's animation somtin special would insult them. I hope it doesn't as in my opinion anime means high quality animation either in storyline or in graphics or in both. Suicide is never the answer, life is the answer and the answer to life (as stated above) is 42.

I don't care about how Cartoons and Comics and Animation and Anime and Mangas and all of that is related. I'm just saying that Cartoons and Anime are not the same. Cartoons are not Anime, Anime are not Cartoons, regardless of this Anime=Animation=Cartoon idea, or what the translations of the words are, or what the official textbook/dictionary definitions are.

Besides, I don't think that the writers of the Webster's Dictionaries (or any dictionaries) are Anime fans or even know anything about Anime, so their opinions don't count.
