X-men is not anime.

Dear "Charles Xavier",

Hello. Alright, hold the phone.

This site is meant to archive anime music videos, am I right? Whether they suck or not, etc., Phade's idea was to find some area where all these works can be archived. As such, music videos which contain anime set to musical pieces of any form are the ONLY music videos that should technically be here. Again, that being said, even Video game music videos are sitting on the fence with this issue...but at least the art in the video games, is in general, that of japanese creation, with all the characteristics of anime...

X-men, in no way, shape, or form LOOKS like anime. When an X-..person opens their mouth, there is not just the colour pink inside. Huge sweat drops dont fly from the sky, people do not collapse stiffly out of nowhere at the sign of some strange comment. Their eyes do not do this: ^_^, this was drawn, created, and distributed firstly, and STRICTLY in America...although of course the comics are available in Japan I'm sure as well, as is the show. Okay? Good.

So, just like you aren't supposed to include Polish works in a library to archive the history of the city streets of New York , you aren't supposed to throw music videos set to normal American cartoons, on a site that has a clear cut purpose to archive ANIME music videos. An art is being preserved here, and it does not need to be tainted by the inclusion of different materials.

If my example made no sense, you can probably figure it out yourself. Just cut out this shi'ite, and end the display of non-anime music videos on this site, as well as their promotion/hosting. Take it somewhere else.

Thank you,

Ian

Technically, the show was animated in Korea and Japan.

But when a show is animated for an American audience, it doesn't matter where it's created... it's American. It was conceived, scripted, storyboarded, etc. in America for an American audience. The fact that the animation job was outsourced has no relevance to an "It's anime!" argument.

If you want to take it literally, since anime is simply french for animation, anything animated is anime, so how bout we let this thread die already?

Because in the case of this site, "anime" is defined as "Japanese animation," which is anime created primarly and foremost for a Japanese audience ^^. I find it pretty silly that people try and jump around that issue just to get their videos hosted.

When people try and make excuses for EVERYTHING to be "anime," it just gets very counter-productive. Spend that time making anime music videos, instead ^^;;.

IIRC part of the animation (or all) for x-men evolution is done in Japan. Obviously Xavier saw similarities and there for as he was told made the decision himself, as ari, the only person making sense currently, already pointed out.

P.S. If everyone is arguing the fact that this is a video announcement thread, why arnt you discussing the video being announced instead of nitpicking and taking the role of a backseat admin? Xavier has perfectly and clearly followed the rules.

I have previously viewed his Linkin park X-men video and it was quite good, so ill probly give this one a look in a few.
