Explain what you believe anime means.

Well gee it was made in Japan by a Japanese studio by a Japanese director for the Japanese public. It must be a french cartoon.

>>137187418
Nope, its live action.

>>137187468
>>137187478

I just asked because the animation style was way different than any other typical anime and it looks more like a western cartoon

>>137187544
It's called parody.

>>137187568
Or in its case it was more of a homage to Western animation as a whole.

>>137187478
This is probably the most concise definition of anime I've ever seen. I should tell this to people who think those Japanese-inspired American cartoons are anime.

Definitely!
Anime is a very subjective term.
In my opinion this is a French animè inspired by Russian animation with arabic voice acting intended for the Guam market.


Are you fucking retarded? Anime is just animation produced in Japan.
Art style, writing, intended markets have nothing to do with it.

Do nips call western animation anime, since anime is supposed to be short for animation in the 70's?

>>137187708
>Do nips call western animation anime,
They do actually, but at this point you might as well consider anime an English word borrowed from Japanese to refer specifically to Japanese cartoons.

>>137187708
The ones I've known have.

>>137187708
I think regardless of the country Japan call it anime.
Some fans seem to think it's an English word use to define Japanese animation.
It's not, it's the Japanese word for animation.

>>137187708
Yes.

anime = animation.

>>137187750
>Some fans seem to think it's an English word use to define Japanese animation.
Do you also believe a baseball cap qualifies as a sombrero? Because it means hat in Spanish, but in English we use it to refer to a very specific kind of hat.

Language changes based on usage.

The title characters look like Blaineley and a humanized Twilight Sparkle respectively.

Do they use they still use the word Doga?

In the past, it's called "TV manga".

>>137188268
You could say it about monogatari

>>137187418
It considered as Gaynax trolling.

>>137187936
One of the best.

It's missing that one track that plays sometimes with scanty and stockings, I think it played in the episode where they are introduced when they enter the school cafeteria and later in their underground place walking down the stairs

>>137187478
So what, wakfu isn't an anime then?

>>137187544
Ping pong doesn't look anything like an anime either, so I guess that makes it western?

>>137190678
Why would it be?

>>137190623
Pretty sure it's on the WORST ALBUM.

>>137190678
well, they discuss it on /co/, not /a/

>>137190623
"Ghost Town" on The WORST ALBUM.

>>137187544
The term Anime, outside of glorious nippon, is defined as animation made, specifically, in japan. The style itself doesn't matter, only the country of origin.

How about Oban Star Racers? Was it made in Japan? I heard the French had something to do with it.

>>137190193
/a/

>>137191426
I believe it was a joint collaboration.

One could argue whether anime is a designation of national oranges (like a basket of oranges saying "Product of Mexico", or a stylistic category. Either way, P&S has enough classically-styled anime scenes and thematic conventions to count.
