| What I learned in this fascinating book: http://www.amazon.com/The-Soul-Anime-Collaborative-Experimental/dp/0822353946 is that roughly 90% of the actual animation work, all the "in-between" or not super crucial material, is outsourced to animators in China, South Korea, and the Phillipines. This is done b/c as everyone already knows, studios are strapped for cash and young animators make ridiculously low salaries and have a very high turnover rate. So a big chunk of the work gets shipped overseas. The book and the author are completely legit. Ck it out if you want details on author's background and sources. does this answer your question? heh. NO! But it felt like a good place to drop that lol |

NO! But it felt like a good place to drop that lol That does seem interesting, so anime even though Japan acts like the mascot, we can say there are many countries that get involved in anime then. Like you were hinting anime is a business as they need to some how make money out of their productions. exactly. i mean the vision, the story boards, the core production, the direction - all from Japan. Grunt work - usually overseas! I was slightly disappointed when i read this, but there is no doubt that the Japanese are in complete control of the creativity and direction of their productions |

| Even if alot of counties created anime it might not be the same as has Japan does it hehe xD also I use to think avatar was anime but its created by Americans I think, that was a good show anime or not :3 |

| RWBY is the answer.. |
 |
plenty of artists myself included make anime style drawings in america, but when it comes to cartoons and what actually gets produced, it tends to have less of the exact same style. i think over time that might change, however. i hope to see anime influence american cartoons more and more. |

| I do know for a fact that korean cartoons are more anime-like as well. In fact, there are a few korean cartoons that are listed in myanimelist database. I cant rmr all of them but here's one :X Dae Jang Geum: http://myanimelist.net/anime/1778/Dae_Jang_Geum:_Jang_Geums_Dream There are also other chinese cartoons that highly resemble anime in terms of animation and art. I know it because i've watched them :X Chinese cartoon: Kuiba - http://myanimelist.net/anime/16756/Kuiba Reflection of the Moon (BL) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBXfyoIYVlA (Dunno if it has been released yet or not.) |

| Various countries put out their own animation but I dont think an entire company soley for replicating anime style is out there except possibly some other asian country like Korea. I am aware japanese studios sometimes work i collaboration with some western shows in the past. I am also aware of various shows who used an anime style and story style. I think its best when someone uses their own flavour to the production methods rahther than just being a copycat because by being a copycat trying to replicate anime its very artificial and wont always turn out very good results. If you do not live in japan you will have a different cultrual view so everything done will come out differntly. A good example is nosebleeds in anime it is based o old wivestale of japan and obviously makes no sense outside of japan unless you already are aware of it from watchig anime . I think a good example of using the style independantly would be The Boondocks because it uses an animation style that is similar to anime but it never tries to be anime at all but rather mirrors the culture of the country it origiated from. Unlike something like RWBY or Avatar (the later did better at it though since its not as obvious being its only similarity is style and asian themes and uses less anime tropes than RWBY). |

| I'm sure there are a lot of non japanese people that may create a far better "anime" than most japaneses together, but I doubt they would allow that, in fact, I'm sure they would do anything to avoid a non japanese person to create an anime. |

| One of the first terms I heard to refer to Japanese cartoons was Japanime. Jap-anime. Japanese animation. Maybe if we started referring to US cartoons as Amanime then everyone would chill out and peace would come to the world. |

It is the highest compliment to them if other people want to use the same style. |

| Why do people always confusing outsourcing with actual origin of productions? |
| I know Russia made one, but it's not very good. |
TheRick said: Can anime be done in the West? I think so but I think Western animation schools discourage their students creating anime because they consider it inferior and unoriginal :(. I agree it's a bit unfair that Western art and animation schools dismissing anime art styles all together. But most anime are indeed unoriginal. There's no denial of it. |
| To answer this question tell me what the fuck you define anime as. The way it story-tells or just the superficial quality like the big fucking eyes and the nose the size of atom? |
| "After I finish fucking you. I am going to kill you." |
| *AHEM* Why does nobody consider Avatar: The Last Airbender an anime show? |

Chili-Changa said: iSheep said: *AHEM* Why does nobody consider Avatar: The Last Airbender an anime show? I believe its because it wasn't made by the Japanese. That said, it really depends upon how you define anime. If you define it as either a style or animation made in Japan, then Avatar could be called an anime. If its just animation made in Japan, then Avatar isn't an anime. If its a style only, then maybe Avatar is an anime, maybe it isn't. (anime, while generally looking similar, sometimes have different art styles, some especially unique). It's because you can't really define styles. I can also mimic Japanese drawings, it doesn't mean I'm making Anime. That's why what the Japanese make is Anime, otherwise it's a cartoon. |

| Well according to KyuuAL logic, if RWBY is anime then Spongebob Squarepants, Fairy Odd Parents and Adventure Time etc must be Anime aswell. This site is called MyanimeList for a reason ya know. Anyways RWBY is pretty shit. |

I know this is old but the US has The Legend of Korra. France has Code Lyoko and Wakfu but I prefer Wakfu's brother, Dofus.  Its less anime-y but it has hips. EDIT: KiteTheAzure said: Well according to KyuuAL logic, if RWBY is anime then Spongebob Squarepants, Fairy Odd Parents and Adventure Time etc must be Anime aswell. This site is called MyanimeList for a reason ya know. Anyways RWBY is pretty shit. RWBY was pretty lame I'd agree. In my opinion anyways. That said, you aren't really understanding KyyAL's logic. RWBY fits to him because of its art style. The story and action help too. Its got this very animey style. I'm not sure you'd call it anime, but its not quite the same as Spongebob etc. Also, its occurred to me that I already mentioned Dofus and Korra, and recently too. Oh well. |

| We have a Japanese Steakhouse in our town; it is run by a Chinese man, and the cooks are mostly Latino. We don't get hordes of enraged weebs pouring through the door every day to remind them that this is not a legitimate Japanese restaurant just because the food isn't actually prepared by Japanese people. That's pretty much how I feel about RWBY too. |
