Can Shelter be considered as an anime ?

Can it be? Yes.

It can't because it is

>>158468104
It's literally animated by Japanese animators. So no matter what your definition of anime is, it should definitely count as an anime. Porter's only associated with the song. The animation itself is Japanese so you weebs can just admit it's anime.

White pig.

>>158468213
I know that. But is a vidéoclip for a song is a movie ? The only difference is that Shelter actually tells a story, but some clips do so without being seen as movies

There are retards who think that being anime has nothing to do with it being literally animated by japanese people

I'd be perturbed if it was considered anything else.

>>158468512
Take it easy man, I wasn't talking about the medium, but about the artistic point of view. And being animated by Japanese people makes it a Japanese Animation. Not an anime.

>>158468104
>Animated short produced in Japan by Japanese artists
no.

>>158468705
Technically it's a Franco-American song with a clip animated by a Japanese studio.

>>158468674
anime is japanese animation you fuck i am going to fucking kill you in real life

Learn the difference between animation and anime. Technically there are chinese and French anime nowadays.

>>158468902
They aren't fucking anime, just because it shares tropes doesn't make it anime. If it isn't animated by nips it isn't japanese

>>158468902
No, there aren't.

Congratulations. But that's not the point. Anime is a type of animation, not a nationality.

>>158468104
If you think the Daft Punk MVs back then are anime, then yeah.

>>158469446
I never considered them as an anime. They are music videos. That doesn't mean they are bad, but that the primary media is the music and nit the animation.

>>158468104
I only thought: Who the fuck is Porter and why should I care?

The fucking making-of/announcement basically sucked Porters dick. (So amazing. So unique. He's so dreamy.)

The western definition of the term "Anime" stands SOLELY for media animated by Japanese animation studios.

In Japan the term encompasses all of animation.

>>158469342
>Anime is a type of animation

Get a load of this imbecile.

>>158469528
You forgot The Simpsons and South Park

>>158469680
You imbecile, you and me both know South Park is manhwa, not anime. Stop trying to bait.

>>158469534
That made sense 10 years ago when this type of animation was exclusively Japanese. Also Japan produces Western-styled cartoons. In your definition this is anime.

Op here. I just wanted to know if I can tell it's an anime because I was unsure. Is debating about the limits of what is anime or not this difficult ?

>>158469730
It does not matter if it's western-styled or not. If it's made in Japan, it's fucking anime. If it's anime-inspired but made in the USA, it's a fucking cartoon. Technique or type of animation have nothing to do with it.

Do you know the difference between manga and manwha? Same fucking story.

>>158468104
It literally is an anime. Animated in Japan by a Japanese studio.
It's a fucking harrowing anime when you realise what she's been condemned to, but it's still an anime.

>>158469949
>when you realise what she's been condemned to
The alternative wasn't so great, either.

Is "Les mystérieuses citées d'or" anime ? It was animated by japs.

She is happy like that. The story is also a beautiful display of paternal love. He offers her an infinity of worlds to explore.

>Also Japan produces Western-styled cartoons. In your definition this is anime.
It is. The definition developed that way to cleanly separate American garbage from Japanese content.

>>158470047
Did you copy from a pdf?

>An anime (Japanese: アニメ?, [aɲime] (About this sound listen), plural: anime)[a] is a 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]

Citation [1] is on a feminist website and has nothing credible to back it up concidering it's just one woman's blogpost which barely has anything to do with the definition of anime, only having like one line talking about what it actually is.

Citation [2] is to Merriam webster and says that it's sylistically defined, although i don't think Merriam Webster is very savvy in anime or it's community

And Citation [3] is to Anime News Network that agrees with the definition being Japanese makes something anime

>>158468104
Yes

Human language is imprecise, borders of categories shift like snakes.

But this case is rather clear. The production staff is mostly japanese. Even the crunchyroll staff is from their japanese branch. The only westerner is porter.

Is Ducktales an anime, then?

The nationality of the animators is not the only thing that matters. Who were in charge of planning, in leading positions on the project, is way more important.
I don't know the specifics of Shelter, but that the animators are Japanese is not an argument.

>>158468104
can Interstella 5555 be considered an anime?

>>158475004
>I don't know the specifics of Shelter
If only there were a database - or two databases - that would let you look up that kind of information.

But Amazing Nuts is anime?
