Some mecha crap, Robotech, Macross, Gundam, etc.

Doreamon or Mojacko or Cybog Kuro chan

We have a winner. Wasn't there an older one though of a samurai that fails to chop something? I remember there being some lost original japanese animation

>>156196885
This brings the question about what can be considered anime. If this is anime, all Japanese animation should be anime, which is questionable at best.

My oldest actual anime is Hakujaden, my oldest TV anime I have some experience with is Kimba, and my oldest TV anime I have finished at least one season of Ace wo Nerae.

Are you stupid? Every animation made in Japan can be called Anime. Anime literally mean animation, for nips disney movies are anime.

I wouldn't call a 3-second clip "anime" though.

>>156197110
I think it's a question about whether anime is Japanese cartoons, or Japanese animations.
If it's all japanese animation, then stuff like shrinking menu buttons in data program interfaces should also be considered anime, and animation cycles in video games, and tons of other stuff.
People don't generally regard these things as cartoons in the west, and I think anime should be the same. In other words, I think the definition of anime should be "Japanese cartoons", and not "Japanese animation".

So, this isn't anime?

The one with a cats and the background animation on a ledge.

>>156197448
I think cartoons should have a bit more substance to them than animation. Animation can be anything that moves, a cartoon is an actual product.
Would you really call this a cartoon:

Actually probably an anime

I think a distinction can be useful

>>156197291
>if we call a short animation depicting a boy writing on a blackboard an anime, then we have to call the gameboy boot logo anime as well
I don't follow the reasoning

I think the boy writing on a blackboard is more of an anime than the gameboy boot logo, but if the definition of anime is "japanese animation", then both are anime. I think the definition isn't actually "japanese animation", but something else. The reason the boy writing on a blackboard feels more like an anime is that it has more plot, but plot isn't something that exists in animation itself. It only exists in the right animation. The question is what kind of complexity is required for something to be anime, not whether something is animated.
or something.

>Anime (Japanese: アニメ?, [anime] ( listen))[a] is Japanese hand-drawn or computer animation. The word is the abbreviated pronunciation of "animation" in Japanese, where this term references all animation.[1] Outside Japan, anime is used to refer specifically to animation from Japan or as a Japanese-disseminated animation style often characterized by colorful graphics, vibrant characters and fantastical themes.[2][3] Arguably, the culturally abstract approach to the word's meaning may open up the possibility of anime produced in countries other than Japan.[4][5][6] For simplicity, many Westerners strictly view anime as a Japanese animation product.[3] Some scholars suggest defining anime as specifically or quintessentially Japanese may be related to a new form of orientalism.[7]
No it really is just Japanese animation

>>156198350
I disagree, and I think you disagree too, when you rejected the Gameboy logo as anime.
