| Most anime will have Japanese characteristics, but what if that anime will have its scenario set into, let's say, USA? With American characteristics and so on? People say anything made on Japan has to be considered an anime, but would that happen at those extreme cases? |

| It's natural for a person to deny he's a failure as a human being. That's why he searches for somebody who is more miserable than himself. That's why so much animosity exists on the internet. Those who aren't able to find a more miserable person, turn to the internet and call other people losers, even though they've never met. Just to make themselves feel superior. isn't that pathetic? There's a sense of security that comes from speaking badly of someone else. But that isn't true salvation. — Tatsuhiro Satou YandereTheEmo said: The only thing more pathetic than quoting someone you know nothing about, is quoting yourself. |
| If it fits MAL's guidelines then I consider it an anime. YandereTheEmo said: It's still an anime with Japanese characteristics. The Japanese main character, dubbed in japanese, some of the character stuff and other things.Black Lagoon. |

| There are plenty of anime that have a non-japanese setting. Of course I will consider it to be anime. |

| What the hell is with the stupid thread. There are anime that takes place outside of Japan... What the hell exactly is "Japanese characteristic"? I don't get the point of arguing if a certain show is anime or not. Its kinda like the pronunciation of GIF argument. Would it made the Simpsons any special if it was considered anime? No it wouldn't. Would it matter if someone pronounced GIF with a G or with a J? Nope. |

| What's up people? lupadim said: Most anime will have Japanese characteristics, but what if that anime will have its scenario set into, let's say, USA? With American characteristics and so on?? The most interesting aspect of this question: No Japanese studio can ever portray an American story and setting properly. Why? Because they don't understand squat about American culture. Yet, they seem to try, by which there's nothing wrong with that. However, looking at the OP's avatar. Baccano was still interesting it is own right. If anyone watched this series in Japanese but not in English, they missed out the proper application of the New York accent in some of the main characters. === Anyways, here's a thought experiment to you "anime from Japan only" parrots: How would you envision an "anime" version of Game of Thrones or Walking Dead? (If you want, choose another American live action show.) |

| Click on this. I dare you. | MAL Fantasy Football League | Currently Watching List RWBY Club. RWBY is anime. Deal with it. |
| Yes. Of course that would make it american then. Likewise if it takes place in Europe (i.e. Monster is obviously german). Ancient Rome? Why Roman, of course. Moon? Lunarian and so on... |

| there's many anime's that set into somewhere else than Japan like black lagoon or kuroshitsuji.. etc lupadim said: So, if Simpsons were made at Japan, it would be an anime? OBvio lol |

| Shingeki no Kyojin is a good example. The majority of the characters are Westerners, only two Japanese appeared so far, and one is already dead. |

| No. For me anime has to have a cerrtain feel to it something that makes me feel yep this is anime. If the animation feels like an american animation tough I personally wont consider it anime. Closest that comes to mind would be panties and stockings with garterbelt. That simply feels like an american cartoon with the same kind of toilet humor and I will consider it as such, a cartoon. |
