Inocentz said: Why are people still arguing with Weeaboo? All they've done since they started posting is argue over dumb little things or made little passive aggressive posts while making things up and claiming them as fact with no source to back up what they say. This isn't the first time they've done this. It's ironic that you would make so many things up while accusing someone else of making things up. Also apparently anyone who disagrees with their flawed logic is an "astroturfer." Why are you lying? I explained very clearly why he is an astroturfer. Obvious troll is obvious. Well I think I'm going to need a source for this claim, if you don't mind. SynysterJesus said: Wait... So you believe all of these people who disagree with you are "anti-anime"? Uwotm8? I mean it's cool if you don't agree with them, but you're not convincing anyone and it's clear no one is convincing you. I'm having trouble understanding exactly why you believe they're all not anime fans... just because they say it's a cartoon... I already explained what makes ashfrliebert an astroturfer. Dare I ask, what's the point of continuing the debate? If people don't want to continue they can leave any time. black1blade said: Anime and cartoons are both terminology for animation.

2weeaboo4u said: ouriel said: Let's make it more simple and make something clear; cartoon means animation, just as anime means animation. So, whether you call anime an cartoon or cartoon an anime they're both animation, the only thing different is that the West uses the term Cartoon to refer to animated movies or series, while the Japanese use the term anime to refer to animated movies or series. Ok, let me start calling cars motorboats. They're both motor vehicles so what's the difference. I'll also start calling laptops smartphones, since they're both computers. Listen, I'm really tired of your know it all bullshit attitude, because both Japanese Anime and Western Cartoon term refer to animation, or rather replace animation for a more convenient word that the general populace would use you uneducated dimwit. So instead of calling Japanese animation all the animated movies that come out from Japan, we use the more convenient word anime, same goes for cartoon. Anime and cartoon are not genres, they're a category under which we categorise animation of various genres. Same goes for your stupid example, because motor vehicle categorises every vehicle that has motor; planes, cars, boats, trucks. And for your information smartphones are pocket computers. No wonder people look down on the Japanese animation because of uneducated stubborn people like you who thinks they are the know it all. |

ashfrliebert said: Thanks.Very well said. @2weeb4u You know what weeb you are really 2weeb for me, nothing I say will get through to you because of your one track mind. 2weeaboo4u said: Examples???It's commonplace even in modern animation. 2weeaboo4u said: How is this and this characters not inhabiting a background.Because you aren't paying enough attention or are in denial. You probably never even thought about this stuff before I explained it to you. This is what it looks like when characters are inhabiting a location and not just traipsing back and forth in front of a backdrop. Or this (notice the many camera positions the room is shown from in the span of 50 seconds). Something I've also noticed about Disney's backgrounds is how often they are very indistinct, especially the very back. They probably didn't want viewers to be "distracted" by anything. 2weeaboo4u said: Music was a very major part of golden age theatrical shorts . Animated cartoons were actually the first music videos. Disney and Warner Bros. used cartoons to promote music from their movies so the cartoon characters would be extremely lively. I rather see a character actually move than just stand like a statue most of the time because you know that movement is a major part of animation. I was talking about gestures, not just facial expressions. In cartoonish animation, the character acting is very exaggerated and full of sweeping gestures, like they're trying to make sure all the children in the audience can very easily understand what emotions and intentions are being conveyed. It's not just about being excessive for the sake of comedy. Disney's animation style in their movies also seem like it has to keep the characters constantly moving any way they can, because it would look awkward if they stopped for even a split second. In anime this isn't a problem because of a different animation style. The overall style in anime is realistic and limited animation, even in comedies. 2weeaboo4u said: Wake me up when anime has a super villain organization as well written as the Light from Young Justice, wake me up when anime has as a unique post apocalyptic setting as the Land of OOO from Adventure Time, wake me up when anime gets the actual BALLS to cleverly use satire like South Park does to reveal problems in Japanese society,culture and politics. Shimoneta mildly does that but it's nothing compared to South Park.Wake me up when American TV has animated shows like Aoi Hana, Wandering Son, Serial Experiments Lain, Haibane Renmei, Zipang, Gunslinger Girl, Kanon, Flag, Welcome to the NHK, Hibike, Shirobako, Psycho-Pass, Charlotte and Steins;Gate. |

Personally, I think the reasons are fairly obvious and discernible. The more engaging discussion is "is it justified?" Few generalizations can ever be true, but I find that such a question gets more to the root stereotypes and misconceptions about anime, and thus has a greater probability of meretricious discussion. |

So instead of calling Japanese animation all the animated movies that come out from Japan, we use the more convenient word anime, same goes for cartoon. We use the term anime because anime is a subset of animation. Cartoons are also a subset of animation, and thus the term cartoon should only be used to describe cartoons, not any and all animation. Same goes for your stupid example, because motor vehicle categorises every vehicle that has motor; planes, cars, boats, trucks. That has been my point all along. Motor vehicles include cars and boats, but boats don't include cars. Animation includes anime and cartoons, but cartoons don't include anime. And for your information smartphones are pocket computers. Nobody calls them that, and even if they did it would be beside the point. It wouldn't mean you could call a laptop a pocket computer. No wonder people look down on the Japanese animation because of uneducated stubborn people like you who thinks they are the know it all. I am vastly more knowledgeable about and educated on anime and related topics than 99% of people in the community. Since people like me are extremely rare, it doesn't stand to reason that we would have any noticeable effect on how outsiders view anime. If someone starts looking down on anime because they say something incorrect about it and I correct them, it says more about them than it does about me or anime. DrGeroCreation said: Examples??? South Park, My Little Pony, Adventure Time, Steven Universe, The Simpsons. It's all over the place. I never said that every shot in every cartoon or cartoon-like animation ever is shot in such a way. It's just extremely common. The first clip has a very high number of shots that look like a stageplay or sidescrolling game. The camera is at a 90 degree angle to the set, and the characters are moving directly left and right and up and down relative to the camera. The second clip isn't a cartoon, it's just an animated comedy. I rather see a character actually move than just stand like a statue most of the time because you know that movement is a major part of animation. Disney's movement is very different from movement in anime. The gestures, body language, expressions and movements of the characters are exaggerated, fast and restless, almost incapable of coming to stop. The character acting in anime on the other hand is realistic, like a streamlined version of live action cinema. That also means characters can come to a complete stop as they would in cinema. The difference being that anime usually removes small movements like swaying, breathing and minute changes in posture. In anime there is the understanding that while animation is very important (in many ways more important than it was in America), it's not everything. Just like characters moving isn't everything in cinema. Wake me up when anime has a super villain organization as well written as the Light from Young Justice, wake me up when anime has as a unique post apocalyptic setting as the Land of OOO from Adventure Time. All you're saying here is that you thought Young Justice has a well-written antagonist and Adventure Time has a great setting. That doesn't do anything to counter what I said. What is your point? wake me up when anime gets the actual BALLS to cleverly use satire like South Park does to reveal problems in Japanese society,culture and politics. Shimoneta mildly does that but it's nothing compared to South Park. You are now awake. There has also been anime that has attempted serious societal criticism of one sort or another, like Patlabor 2 and Gatchaman Crowds: Insight (and I guess the first season too). South Park's satire isn't even a special feature of the show or American animation, but part of a larger tradition of political satire in America. Likewise, their relative absence in Japan isn't a special feature of manga and anime. Also, if you aren't familiar with Japanese society, politics and events, you don't necessarily notice if something is being satirized or criticized. In any case, South Park making fun of current events doesn't counter what I said. You are just grasping at straws here, because you can't come to terms with the overwhelming superiority of anime when it comes to variety in genre, subject matter and tone. |

South Park is anime, not because it doesn't come from Japan, but because it's an animation, but it is also a cartoon because it's an animated moving picture(drawing). Ghost in the Shell is a cartoon, not because it doesn't come from the West, but because it's an animated moving picture, but it is also an anime, because it uses Japanese animation style. Heck, even Manga can be called a cartoon under the literal meaning of the word cartoon. And also, the Japanese use the word anime to refer to all animation. |

The amount of differences between the vast majority of American animation and anime is staggering. There are hardly any similarities between them. Saying that they must be the same because they're both animation is like saying a boat and a car are the same because they're both motor vehicles. However, the definition of cartoon is far broader than the anime and that's because anime only refers to Japanese animation style, while a cartoon has multiple meanings, from comic books, to caricature, to animation and to a painting, which makes anime a cartoon. We are only talking about animated cartoons here. And no, anime still aren't cartoons and never will be. South Park is anime, not because it doesn't come from Japan, but because it's an animation, but it is also a cartoon because it's an animated moving picture(drawing). South Park is an American show with not even any superficial or substantial similarities to anime. It is not anime. Ghost in the Shell is a cartoon, not because it doesn't come from the West, but because it's an animated moving picture, but it is also an anime, because it uses Japanese animation style. Ghost in the Shell is an anime, not a cartoon. It has nothing in common with cartoons. Heck, even Manga can be called a cartoon under the literal meaning of the word cartoon. No it cannot. And also, the Japanese use the word anime to refer to all animation. We use it to refer to Japanese animation only, and we do that because anime constitutes its own form of animation that's clearly distinct from other forms of animation. |
