| The definition needs to be objective, no subjective. Even if RWBY is subjectively an anime, Tsumiki no Ie subjectively isn't so this shouldn't be the rule we go by. There would be a lot more arguments if anime were added because "they seemed anime-y enough" or were removed because "eh, it's really that anime-like". If that were the case it would have to be left to a vote and the entries might not even be static, which would be very confusing. It's best left the way it is. |

| Also how does anime look like? Think back of the first anime to appear, it was inspired by Walt Disneys cartoons and looked pretty similar. |
| Trying to watch all available anime series so you won't have to anymore, the list of anime I can recommend is still in progress, tho |
| the term "anime" is only used to describe asian cartoon or asian animated series; simply bc they pronounce the word "animation" as "anime". if this wasn't the case then you'd find voltron here. |
| You lost me at your grammar. Just kidding, but I see others have already explained it to you. |
| Still don't get why Korean and Chinese animation is classified as anime, it should only be listed if they had assistance or funding from Japanese animation studios. The argument for why the entirety of Western animation isn't on here is because it's not from Japan, yet some random CG Korean children's cartoon can be on here because it's Asian? If this argument holds, then Indian or Thai animation should be anime too, no? There's too many inconsistencies in this argument, it should be revised in a similar fashion to Manhwa/Manhua guidelines requiring physical publication, such as having Japanese production or staff involved. |

If this argument holds, then Indian or Thai animation should be anime too, no? The argument for excluding Western animation is that it's not from Japan/Mainland China/Hong Kong/South Korea/North Korea. Not just Japan. Japan just happens to provide 99% of this database so it's easier to just say Japan. See here for why other Asian countries are excluded. Jerkhov said: There's too many inconsistencies in this argument, it should be revised in a similar fashion to Manhwa/Manhua guidelines requiring physical publication, such as having Japanese production or staff involved. If xyz anime needs Japanese production staff then there's no reason to include Korean or Chinese anime in the guidelines because then it would fall into Japan co-production territory which accepts any country already. Such as Oban Star Racers which is Japan+France. Since Korea and China are no longer special then the entire manhua and manhwa database would be removed because we no longer see Korea or China as equals. The manhwa and manhua guidelines for physical releases is to combat web portals like Naver where anyone can post their shitty stickfigure webcomic and call it manhwa. Japan is pretty strict and doesn't have that issue to begin with (digital magazines being the same as print one with editors, legality, copyrights, registration with the government, etc.) --all the same the guidelines already reject such items anyway under the doujinshi clause so a manga from Pixiv wouldn't be accepted either even though it looks hella well-made and might have a bajillion people reading it. Until that manhwa/manhua gets a physical release by a reputable publishing company (so no self-printing) it is no different than the bajillion doujinshi in Japan. |
