  1. No. Not because of it not being Japanese made - I don't consider that as the sole reason for something to be an animé. It definitely has a large impact but it's not the only reason.

    My main reason is because the art style isn't Japanese. I believe it's Korean, though I might be wrong - I'm not expert! Speaking in English, being overall American, having a non-animé style and not being made after a manga/game (though the last one has a lot of exceptions nowadays), leads me to not categorise it as one.

    ... Even though it has all of the aspects that I like animé over cartoons - plot, good characters, good animation....

  2. {{Georgi Borisov The animation style itself is meant to be Japanese-influenced, according to the creators, but the reason I don't consider it anime is just because it's American, not Japanese. It's the same reason why Voltron (American) isn't anime and Killing Stalking (Korean) and Attaque (Korean) aren't considered manga.}}

  4. the def for anime according to Google is:
    a style of Japanese film and television animation, typically aimed at adults as well as children.
    so no as Georgi Borisov and Alfredo Sauce F. Jones said

  6. I think it is because it is done in the anime style. I draw a little bit of anime myself, and I still call it anime, even though I am as far from Japanese as you can get. also if this is a segue into ATLA week I am so excited

  7. Randomness Incarnate well with that logic, you could say 19 Days or Killing Stalking are manga - they were made in the "anime/manga" style, but they aren't japanese made.

  8. I don't believe there considered an Anime… more like the Area where Pokémon, Digimon, B-Damon, Blayblade, Bakugon are kid friendly type of shows.
    Avatar & Korra would be caterogize with those shows. Kid friendly Anime.

  9. {{Jess Pokemon, Digimon, Beyblade, and Bakugan are all Japanese-made, while Avatar and Korra are American-made. What you're saying doesn't really make sense.}}

  13. {{I meant to say that the term "anime" is exclusively meant to be used for Japanese-made animation, but that doesn't mean that "anime" and kid-friendly shows are mutually exclusive terms.}}

  14. It's not an anime because anime can only be Japanese

    // Doesn't have to be classified as Japanese... It's popular in China and S.Korea as well.

    Anime isn't just for Japanese people. //

  18. {{Just because the product itself is popular in a certain country does not mean it belongs to the country.
    Likewise, just because the "anime" style is used does not mean it's anime. Anime is strictly Japanese-made animation, and nothing else.}}

  19. It's just popular in Japan. Anime/Manga is Asian Based stuff. Probably a good chunk of non-Anime fans knows that.
