Anime should be banned
Anime was invented in japan. they don't live by the western principles what makes this hemisphere of the world so great, and westerners who watch it obsessively become "weeaboos", which basically degrades them. it brings our own culture down and replaces it with theirs, and the weeaboos don't even understand nor need it properly.

Why would we even want to bring anything foreign over here anyway? if it's foreign it's not as good as what we make, and if we don't make it it isn't worth making.

It's the correct and valid term, where as cartoons isn't (but means the same thing). The actual only real difference between them is Anime can be for adults and kids... where as Cartoons are "kids' stuff (no adult content).
Anime is the Japanese term for cartoon lmao. And cartoons don't have to be for kids, look at Family Guy, Rick and Morty, South Park. If you think they're anime you're retarted.

A cartoon originally would be drawn frame-by-frame on transparent plastic by a cartoonist, where as Anime could be done on a computer or paper by an animator. The term "cartoon" shouldn't even be used these days and isn't actually valid to use anymore, we just still do it for the sake of the kids back in the old days.

You sir are the mistaken one... yes, logically Family Guy, Rick and Morty, and South Park would be animation (anime), not a cartoon. They aren't even created like cartoons, nor are they meant for kids. The closest is only South Park which original had the characters cut out from paper to design the creators, hense how the style appears (but even that is now on computer).

Cartoon (translated from Italian "cartone" or Dutch "karton") is a word describing strong, heavy paper or pasteboard, hense where that word originally came from and what a cartoonist use to do (doesn't exist anymore).



South Park turned from cartoon to anime (just keeping that same appearance).

The definition of anime is "a style of Japanese film and television animation, typically aimed at adults as well as children."

You can't play the racist card when you said Western people are often biased.

It's actually quite a backwards topic.

Anime just meaning animation, where as...

Weeaboo is a slang term for a Western person who is obsessed with Japanese culture.

Hense, he's merely insulting the Western side for getting something completely wrong. Being a Western person, I however won't let bias stand in the way to correct our own silly mistake.

Actually this is not true.

"The word anime is the Japanese term for animation, which means all forms of animated media. Outside Japan, anime refers specifically to animation from Japan or as a Japanese-disseminated animation style often characterized by colorful graphics, vibrant characters and fantastical themes."

If you really think about it, Anime had come about after we had nuked Japan (hmm...), and proceeded to "westernize" Japan. The anime artstyle itself, with the character's huge eyes and small bodies, represents japan's innocence and frail state. Therefore, anime is indirectly the west's fault.

In Japanese, anime is written as “アニメ” (literally, “anime”) and is short for the word “animation” (アニメーション or “animeeshon”).

In English, animation means the same thing... hand drawn or computer generated movement of images. The word ironically doesn't relate to the style type at all.

Rather you are just insulting the correct term over an invalid one which shouldn't exist.

That's looking to far into it. They just wanted to get back at the western world through the culturalisation of westerners, and germany tried to do it by diplomacy (by founding the EU). if those who want to conquer cannot by military means, they can try through culture and diplomacy. it is a form of attack, and should be blocked.

Or maybe you want a word from another language to replace the perfectly fine English one because you're a weeb?
