| I hella liked the original and I watched the 1st part of the 1st episode of Z and it's aight so far but now they're more mahou shoujo instead of being naturally gifted with superpowers like the original. Also being that Z is based off an American cartoon should it be considered anime or not? This is a first as far as I know, of Japan making an anime of a cartoon that was made in the U.S. |

| For me its not what I would call Anime, but that is just a very subjective term I use, for what I have become to think anime has to have a certain style, feeling to it to be one. But if I was completely correct, than the word cartoon and anime are both complete bullshit, animation is the way to go. If you want to be more specific you can say american animation instead of cartoon and japanese instead of anime, or you could just call it all animation. As for Powerpuff girls I never really liked it anyway, it wasnt bad when you didnt have anything else to watch but thats about as much as I liked it, so naturally I wont give Z a try. |

We have anime based off of comics like Blade and Iron Man, games like Mass Effect and Dragon Age, why would it being based off of cartoons be any different? |

| Anime in my definition = Must have the distinct art style that anime uses, and also look like a laggy computer cinematic game. Origin doesn't matter in its say so. |

mitch3315 said: Would you call this anime? Anime never looked that half realistic. mitch3315 said: What about this? Wait, that's clay animation. Its not anime at all. Dunno about Shin-chan, but I think they're cartoons of Japanese origin. With P&S with Garterbelt having the occasional anime style scene. |

I grew up with Shin Chan thinking it was a "Zeichentrickfilm". It never was anime for me. I never thought of Panty and Stocking as anime either, not only is the art completely cartoonish it also has a vile american toilet humor to it. Both no. In a perfect world we would call it all simply animation and be done with it, but I can understand why some would want to seggregate cartoons from anime. I myself am rather displeased that european and americant animation is often lumped in togheter, as even european ones usually have a bit of a more distinct style. I stopped seggregating by nationality but more by style. Anime is sort of what most of japanese animations look like, with a few from china and the west that also fit. Cartoon is the like that look "weird" aka mentioned powerpuff girls and those kind of shows, pixar is a own style for me which basically means all cgi movies/series that look similar, and "Zeichentrickfilm" is everything that looks like the old Walt Disney movies and some european drawn animations like "Der kleine Eisbär!". In the end it doesnt matter tough, as that is only my personal categorization and honestly, "officially" we shouldnt categorize them at all. Just call it all animation and be done with it. Film is just film no matter where its from after all. |

NeoAnkara said: This remind me that Astro Boy movie. I consider that as anime but MAL isn't. The art style does look like anime in this one. Dunno what's the choosing method of MAL, whether the country of origin HAS to be Japan, or if the art style is the one the Japanese use the most. It appears its the former choice. mitch3315 said: It's animation from Japan, which makes it anime, it has nothing to do with the art style. It is not in the traditional anime art style, hence its not anime. Let's be clear, if this art style never appeared in the first place, would you call this claymation "anime" regardless? You would've called it "claymation." Its the art style that makes anime anime, not that the country of origin being Japan. |

| Yeah we should always refer to series based on where the source material/inspiration came from. That would definitely NOT make things unnecessarily complicated in EVERY area of entertainment. Please guys, if you want to call non-anime animation anime at least make up coherent theories and not something that is completely useless for practical use. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |

| This is the JRPG argument all over again. I would rather not complicate it too much and just go by country of origin. If it's in the MAL DB, it's anime. |
| Regardless of its source material's country, it was produced in Japan so nothing more appropriate than calling it anime. |
| Anime=made in japan Cartoon=made somewhere else Hello Kitty>>Powerpuff girls - by the way |
 |
| I rather have new episodes of the original series on CTN. |

You call that anime? Anime = the art style. Now try convincing me that if Cartoon Network suddenly decided to make a western cartoon for the west from inside Japan (for unknown reasons) with all makes the western art style a western art style, that this cartoon is "anime." What follows the anime art style is anime. What doesn't isn't. The country of origin? Why should I care about the country of origin as much as the art style. |

You Because it originates from Japan! The art style be damned. Me: Because its the anime art style! Who made it be damned. I think its personal preference in here... However, I think that considering a claymation being an anime because it originates from Japan is a little too far... |

This is a first as far as I know, of Japan making an anime of a cartoon that was made in the U.S. It may not seem like it, but MAL does have some pretty well defined rules about what is and what isn't an anime. http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=141101 The country where the source material comes from isn't part of the guidelines. There's also the Marvel Anime and some hidden gems. Not to mention a boatload of old kids shows by Nippon. http://myanimelist.net/anime/1638/Peter_Pan_no_Bouken http://myanimelist.net/anime/2577/Tom_Sawyer_no_Bouken http://myanimelist.net/anime/2825/Sindbad_no_Bouken http://myanimelist.net/anime/2572/Fushigi_no_Kuni_no_Alice But yeah, PPGZ was probably the first (and only) original american cartoon that also got a japanese version |
