But yeah, saying that Cartoons are Anime is alot better than saying that Anime are Cartoons. But's it still a bit inaccurate.

dammit, its not inaccurate. anime are cartoons, cartoons are anime, period. and they are not different types of animation. do the simpsons and, say, beavis and butthead have the same style of animation? no. anime (american definition) is one style of cartoon. it all looks the same, its one style, one part of a whole.

Red and Blue are both types of Colors.... wow...and I always thought that they were two different colors.... but I guess they the same exact color after all...

It wouldn't matter if I called you "Blind" or "Jhpqw", cause what's it matter, THEY'RE ALL LETTERS.... so they all must be the same....

I guess Rap and Rock are exactly the same too.... I mean.. they are both Types of music.

I guess Sound Effects and Music must be the same too, since they're both types of Audio....

Cartoon is one style of Animation. Anime is another. "Anime" is much more than just the Japanese word for Animation.

If you really wanna go by the idea of Anime just being another word for Animation, then Cartoons are a stlye of Anime, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!

And if really think that Japanese Anime and American Cartoons look the same, then you are obviously blind and shallow.

The idea of calling one Anime and the other Cartoon is about more than just the way it looks anyways. It's about WHAT THEY ARE!!

ok...im not saying they look the same. i am saying all j-anime is drawn alike, so it can be considered one style of cartoons, not many. im not saying all cartoons are the same in style, just a-anime. since the definition of j-anime=animation=cartoon, then EVERYTHING is a cartoon, and the ones from japan are just local ones to them.

You know what's cool, reading all 6 pages each one right after another (so, in a few minutes). This way you really get the feeling on how the discussion is being fought out. Almost scary to do it that way.

Anyways, I've been gone for a day, and this whole thing hasn't really advanced. How about the old settlement, to agree to disagree?

Maybe I'll just choose to never use the word cartoon again. I'll just say animation from now on. Animated show, animated feature, anime... Actually, I don't think I'll ever be able to do that.

Don't worry Tsuji Mania, I got what you're saying, but the word's already way too used and well known. It's hard to go back now.

But I kinda like that whole art deal..

Right on Jedi, this is futile. Every body stop now, please. Just let this thread die.

a = anime
b = cartoons
c = art

a + b = c

Everything comes back to art. Let's make that the comon denominator.
