is family guy a anime?

[Ruthlessant]

think about it, what even is a anime? a cartoon so a cartoon can be classified as a anime

[󠀡󠀡󠀡󠀡⁧⁧Kei]

anime is an animation

[DarkCrystalMethod]

If the artwork was done by Japanese artists in Japan for an audience in Japan then yes.
Though most of the world is now more accepting of a less strict definition.

[ṼṏẌṏḭḊ]

No.

[kingjames488]

anime is japanese style animation is it not?

like... steven spielberg is a fan of anime and I feel like he tried to make "we're back" in a sort of anime style for a western audience... but it's not really anime, is it?

[Neurotic Panda]

anime died back in like 2001 ish when Japanese artists gave up the 'art' form and said screw using cels.

anime is just a short trendy word for animation now.

it's cartoons. period.

its like when adults who like comics call them graphic novels to make them feel better about their 'hobby'. like it makes it more adult or distinguished.

fun fact : it doesn't.

So yea sure, family guy is anime. who cares anymore. its a cartoon.

[Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...]

isn't most of the animation done in korea?

No. It's mass psychological warfare.

[ImSoCool599]

[Mighty Alien Dwarf]

In Japan, yes.
In the rest of the world, no.

I think that to make a real anime you have to be of Japanese ethnicity. South Koreans have also done well.

The issue with tugging at this thread is that anime isnt just an art style- it has cultural differences that can't be replicated by Western creatives- no matter how much they try.

[Vendicator Senpai]

Nah

Well, not really.

Cartoons are mainly aimed at kids. The Japanese, traditionally target more audiences with more subject matter, so a better translation of anime is "animation".

Many people don't realise that, because they haven't taken a closer look. They just think that anime is the stuff that is mostly popular with young boys.

Oh, and the term generally applies to a specific artistic style, or production in the far east. It's a little vague on those points though.
