| definition of anime can be as wide or narrow it depends on the person.. MyAnimeList considers it anime for database purposes so i guess you could call them anime and you'd be backed up by this very site, but expect some to disagree |
 |
| No, only japan animation is anime. Korean animation is cartoon, where it belong to. |
| This is a grey area that is sort of annoying, animations in the anime style that are intended for an American audience but are done by a Korean studio are considered a cartoon. If it's intended for a Korean audience then, on mal it's considered anime, it's either all anime or none of it's anime imo. |

| Anime is an animated film or series originally made in Japanese language. Simple and clear. No "art style" or similar subjective bullshit. |
| I propose that we call them anihwa, and for Chinese, anihua. |
 |
| Oh boy. Well played op. Well played. |

Xin16 said: Some even have the same art-style, could you call them anime? Or are they something else. Legit serious question. It's not anime, but it doesn't have it's own name. Chinese animation. for example. is called donghua. ReaperCreeper said: I propose that we call them anihwa, and for Chinese, anihua. Up. |
| they are called aeni... they exist on mal for simplicity sake... that's alll... |

| I can physically see my IQ dropping by browsing MAL threads these days. It's kind of amazing when you think about it. |
 |
| Not in the common referral, but MAL accepts Korean and Chinese works in its database at least |

| Not all who wander are lost. |
| Fam, I think you should stop about that kind of thought and just watch your cartoon porn, it'll do you good. |
| Personal definition: Anything designed primarily by studios based in Japan, South Korea/North Korea, or China, is 'anime'. Everything else is a different variation of animation. |

| According to the actual definition of anime, no. According to MAL, yes. |

ReaperCreeper said: How about poophwa or poophua?! I think it fits them moreI propose that we call them anihwa, and for Chinese, anihua. |
| Since I come from an English speaking country, I'll call Japanese anime and whatever Korean anime is called by what I know them as: cartoons. |

| Does it really matter? As long as you find it entertaining than its fine. I don't understand this mentality to classify everything. |
| MAL will only list it if Japanese people worked on it. |
 |
| Noblesse is Korean I believe... And it's on MAL... So I'd say... Yes? |
| As someone mentioned earlier: The term for Korean animation would be Aeni. So that's that. And no, I would not call Korean animation anime per se. But it gets hard to differ if you look closer at the amount of outsourcing in Japanese animation itself. Korean studios take big roles in the animation processes of Western as well as Japanese studios. For example I was quite surprised seeing Koreans involved in the Hellsing Ultimate OVAs. If I remember correctly, their influence was not bound to one Japanese studio in charge of an episode, but over the course of three or four eps at least (and they changed studios a lot from the fourth episode on). Long story short: academics might differ between different (national) animation styles (Jonathan Clements and McCarthy defined anime as "Anime refers to animation from Japan", but argue that it can differ when looked at how much comes "from Japan" or about the nature of animation itself). For myself I pretty much just use the terms anime (Japan) and animation (rest of the world). Btw. a nice and short MAL-article worth a read: https://myanimelist.net/featured/1578/The_Unnoticed_World_of_Korean_Anime |
| Please. Let's not associate Korean shit with anime. I've had enough with anything related to Korea especially K-Pop and K-Dramas. Lmfao. And the answer to your question: obviously no. |

| technically no but since mal is kinda retarded on this I say if its that soutgh korean garbage then NO!! if it was commissioned by the supreme reada then yes, the supreme reada has deemed it worthy so it is anime |

| if you see Anime as Moe Artstyle or Human-like artstyle with crazy hair cartoon, then yes if you see Anime as Cartoon that made Japan, then no |

Being called an idiot is a really tame way of insulting someone infact i'd barely even class it as such. Don't take it personally i just found your comment to lack intelligence therefore i called you an idiot, very simple :) You didn't anger me don't worry i just saw a stupid comment and replied appropriately xD don't take it personally. |

| I personally don't like the art style of Korean manhwa. Japanese manga and even Chinese manhua have a much better presentation style. Hell, even Western comics can come off better than manhwa IMO. |

| I think the koreans need a word for their own burgeoning animation scene like they have for their manhwa comics. It doesn't bother me to have them on this site though. |
