Can animation produced partially in Japan, partially in the West be considered anime?

Can animation produced partially in Japan, partially in the West be considered anime?

No.

That aside, I really liked Oban

Depends on the demographic. Technically, a lot of old western cartoons are made in Japan. I'd still consider Oban to be western.

Yes.
Oban feels more than western, but you can't discuss it on Sup Forums or Sup Forums without some faggot telling you to go to the other board so we're stuck on a limbo where we can't discuss this shit.
That and the fact that apparently noone has seen it.

Still, this anime's pretty great.

Isn't anime technically a style or a type of animation by definition?There's Chinese and Korean anime.

No.

Friendly reminder that new Batman anime will be considered anime just because it's animation made in Japan.

I mean.
What else is there to it?
Is JP Spider-Man not a sentai show?

Hey oban was comfy as fuck. who cares where it was """""produced""""

...

Even if this anime nobody has fucking seen it

Anyone who had Jetix and was born in the 90s did.

Doesn't it depend on who's asking the question? I'm not sure, but in Japan isn't all animated media (including western material) regarded as "anime"? The whole idea anime is strictly this Japanese style etc, that idea is only a western one?

I could be brutally wrong however.

Yes, OP

Yes

but those of us who have love it because there's not a single wrong thing with it.
Except that we needed more Rick Thundercock.

do you even know what the word "anime" means ?

>that ending
2bad he'll never get to smash molly's ass

yeah but the guy basically became an all mighty god. i guess he can create any bitch he wants in a few seconds

Anime just mean cartoon in japanese, they refer to simpsons and south park as anime for example, if it's animated drawings then it's anime regardless of the studio who animated it, whether it belongs to Sup Forums or not is a whole different matter. Is the story written by jap author and was it aired in japan first? if it fulfills these two requirements then it's Sup Forums if not it's just Sup Forums because Sup Forums is reserved for stuff of japanese origin.

then it belongs to Sup Forums

He had no chance anyways, the prince was obviously the endgame.

>mfw season 2 never

By that logic the original Inspector Gadget is also anime. An American cartoon with Japanese animation and Canadian voice acting.

If you can find a torrent with the original audio then yes.

Which language am I supposed to watch this in, if it was produced both in the east and the west?

English because the Japanese is impossible to find.

What would a combination between French and Japanese sound like?

Where is the Oban sequel?

If it appears on MAL, it's anime.

No, you are not wrong.

English, Jap or French are impossible to find.
Eng dub is pretty good anyways.

Jordan is the biggest cuck to ever exist in anime.

>He's a brainlet that is not able to assimilate what the term anime stands for: to describe any type of animation made in any place.
You might as well kill yourself, to stop wasting valuable oxygen, to stop robbing oxygen.

>Love girl.
>She in love with a prince.
>Do nothing to win her over 'cause you're a beta awkward fag
>Finally build up the courage to confess
>Shit goes down
>She about to die
>Turn into a literal god to save her
>Not be allowed to actually be with her because god rules or whatever
>Stay virgin for all eternity.

Poor guy.

>mfw season 2 never
>He doesn't know

the rumors of a season 2?
Don't get your hopes up.

...

can someone please recommend anime that's like oban?
everything is just so wonderful, the atmosphere, the colors, the world, the grass (????? idk why i like the grass) and the strong emotional story

This is the only anime from which I like the japanese, the french and the german opening all the same.

Sadly, there's none on that level. Oban is quite unique.
You can watch Big O tho, it's on the same level in terms of quality, even if the whole feel is very different.
It almost made me cry, wich is one step above Oban.

Your favorite anime isn't even an anime!

Animation?
Check.
Japanese origin?
Check.
It's anime.

Took me 10 seconds.

Damn I miss Jetix

What does "Japanese origin" even mean anyway

What if someone isn't ethnically Japanese but live in Japan and they publish their work in Japan, for the Japanese market. Like NGNL for example

Oban is as Japanese as a half French half Japanese model.

Link?

The NGNL anime was made by nips though, only the LN was that SEA monkey.

The easiest definition of anime would be done by Japs for Japs.

American money might change it with stuff like Netflix.

For argument's sake let's pretend he did the anime also, but completely in Japan, with Japanese voice actors, for Japanese TV, etc

The vast majority of the people working on it would be Japanese, so yes.

Director is japanese, this is anime.

It means the point of origin is japanese. Director and writer, usually.

He would be the one doing the most important work though

wasn't big O like that?
I know at least the second season was funded by CN

!

It’s a semantics game that means less and less as the world becomes more localized, so who fucking cares.

Real issue is that like 5% of you watch any good non-anime animation.

Is moomin 100% anime?

Not really, no.

>non-anime
>good
What did he mean by this?

thank you based france

I just hope the new Yuasa project isn't completely cancelled.
