Anime as a whole has elements that differentiate it from animation from other regions, so the distinction seems useful.
Should we also stop using the terms gyro, kebab, burrito, schawarma, and kati, and just say wrap instead?
I got yelled at recently for saying I was watching what I thought was an anime. Can you help me understand the difference? Is it just if it's originally made in Japan?
Honestly, there’s no specific definition everyone agrees to. If someone yells at you for your definition they’re probably an ass.
The most common one is yes, everything that was originally made in Japan. So “Pingu in the City” is an anime. But some people consider the artstyle first so they count stuff like ATLA too.
Anime and cartoons are the same word, just different languages. If you are speaking Japanese, it is always proper to refer to cartoons as "anime".
Strictly speaking, yes. So Avatar, Castlevania and Scissor 7 aren't anime, while the Tale of the Princess Kaguya is, despite what their artstyle might suggest. (Co-productions like The Red Turtle can be considered anime.)
Yes. Anime is just the word Animation used as a loanword by the Japanese, but Japanese animation itself has become associated with the word outside of Japan.
It's only anime if it's made in the Anime Prefecture of Japan. Otherwise, it's just sparkling cartoons.
