A discussion and message board dedicated to talking about anime, anime that's currently popular, anime that you are currently watching, and all topics surrounding anime.

(Especially whether or not Anime is considered a Cartoon, a Cartoon just with Japanese flavor.)

I don't know, I'll have to think about that. It just seems the most self-explanatory term for it; a picture that is in motion, because its not a play, as you would have with a video game or a live performance. Its not rendered in real time, as is the case with an animation (that is being calculated (on hardware)).
In some cases, it may be a recording (read: a video) of an animation, but that would bring it back to being a motion picture; in which there are a fixed amount of frames, in which still images are being shown. Nothing is being calculated there, unless its rendered. And you can only render things mathematically. Language or location would have nothing to do with it.

Anime is just cartoon with more boobies

[Irene ❤]

Yes it is cartoon.

The word Anime means Japanese cartoon in many languages. It is not a standalone word with a different meaning.

The vocabulary bank is formal. If we claim it's different, then it's just informal.

[AustrAlien2010]

A cartoon would have something to do with humour. I doubt you could call it a cartoon. I'm sure they also have cartoons in Japan.

[Zekiran]

Cartoons are also known as animated, anime for short.

Anime and 'cartoons' imply different flavor text, that's all. They're animated, they're cartoons. Yes the word 'cartoon' implies more light-hearted stuff, but that's baggage from decades of warner bros and the Mouse talking.

[AustrAlien2010]

Disagree, because their animation is only an illusion, unless they are actually animated, live and in real time. They're as much animated as a collection of still images is, that give off the illusion of being animated, for example by flipping pages really fast, where is picture is gradually changing to convey the idea of animation, but they are a collection of still images, and nothing is animated.

[Naedmi]

I've been told the locals in Japan refer to them as cartoons.

[Candyy]

Well, yeah

Animes are cartoons but not all cartoons are anime, so stop saying "Cory in the house/Shrek/Simpsons is my favorite anime", it's never funny.
