I found this in my camera roll and now I am highly disturbed. Let me tell you the story behind it... (This is a dream, by the way) So, it all started out in my mom's office. I was with Ron, Hermione, and Harry and we were all kind of talking and stuff. Then all of a sudden, Harry starts writhing on the floor in pain, screaming, "My scar! Voldemort is here!" And then he kind of calms down and we wait nervously for a few moments when..... Voldemort comes inside the room in a red sparkly party dress (which, by the way, did not complement his complexion. Yeesh) and smiles and says "I'm here! Let's get this party started!" So he turns the desk into a table with party snacks, the sofa into this cool lounge thing and the chandelier into a disco ball. So yeah, I had a party with Harry, Ron, Hermione and FREAKING LORD VOLDEMORT IN A RED SPARKLY PARTY DRESS. ~Radi the Air-Nomadic Auror on the Argo II
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.
ReplyDeleteMy 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....
{{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.}}
ReplyDelete{{Αиαѕтαѕια Lιтνιиєикσ But they did?}}
ReplyDeleteWe need some Fairy Tail.
ReplyDeletethe def for anime according to Google is:
ReplyDeletea 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
While it is anime style animation
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't from Japan
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
ReplyDeleteRandomness 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.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe there considered an Anime… more like the Area where Pokémon, Digimon, B-Damon, Blayblade, Bakugon are kid friendly type of shows.
ReplyDeleteAvatar & Korra would be caterogize with those shows. Kid friendly Anime.
{{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.}}
ReplyDeleteWell legend of Korra was actually animated in South Korea, so...

ReplyDelete^^^^^
ReplyDeleteWell. That settles it. Its not really an Anime then
Alfredo Sauce F. Jones
ReplyDeleteSo is Rwby and, it's an Anime.
All I was saying is that it's a kid friendly type of show-
{{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.}}
ReplyDeleteIt's not an anime because anime can only be Japanese
ReplyDeleteRabiya03 Guliyeva
ReplyDeleteOr Chinese + Korean
{{Jess Chinese and/or Korean animations are not anime.}}
ReplyDeleteAlfredo Sauce F. Jones
ReplyDelete// 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. //
Alfredo Sauce F. Jones yes it can only be Japanese
ReplyDelete{{Just because the product itself is popular in a certain country does not mean it belongs to the country.
ReplyDeleteLikewise, just because the "anime" style is used does not mean it's anime. Anime is strictly Japanese-made animation, and nothing else.}}
It's just popular in Japan. Anime/Manga is Asian Based stuff. Probably a good chunk of non-Anime fans knows that.
ReplyDelete{{Well, a good chunk of non-anime fans obviously don't read the dictionary.}}
