If anime only refers to Japanese animation, how would you define a show made by a staff with half of the people being american, and the other half japanese?
If anime only refers to Japanese animation...
MADE IN JAPAN.
What if it was made in America by a staff only composed of Japanese people?
Depends on the target audience. There are plenty of American cartoons made in Korea, or Japanese cartoons made in Europe, etc. The production team is irrelevant.
Oh boy. It's one of THOSE threads
On a plane going over Europe!?
I would tell you to lurk more.
what if america takes over japan, and renames it america part two, but leaves everything else alone?
dweebs out
So you are saying that anime is a genre with specific characteristics and not just a label used to refer to animation made by Japanese people or made in Japan?
BURGERED
Westaboo trash.
Basically Trigger but with more muricans.
Trigger is trash, but I wouldn't call their anime westaboo.
Amerinese.
America part two .Why not :
Freedom: The Sequel.
What if America killed Japanese culture and identity through propaganda and subversion, but the country's name and ethnicity remained the same?
>what if america takes over japan
this already happened
>mutts will destroy anime
If America could rewrite Japanese culture just like that, Japan would be teeming with niggers and rapefugees by now. The opposite is true, it's getting harder and harder for immigrants to be accepted in Japan.
Where is the production company located? What is the original language?
It's located in the US, but all the staff is made of Japanese people.
Half of the cast speaks english, and the other half Japanese. Let's say it's a show about the conflict between USA and Japan during WWII
Immigration isn't the only byproduct of Globalist subversion.
An anime adaptation of Ninja Gaiden 3.
Lol (you)
>America: Comics and Cartoons
>Japan: Anime and Manga
>France: ???
Bande dessinée et dessin animé
according to google translate
It's just short for animation in Japanese and can refer to anything animated. The only reason to use it in English is to refer to animated things that are made in Japan.
that's obviously not the only reason as there's clear distinctions in style and approach between anime and western cartoons. The word anime will instantly evoke certain images, feelings, narratives and tropes, which are distinct from their western counterparts, in the imaginary of people.
Anime may only mean cartoon to Japanese, but it's different to us since their animation is blatantly different from ours.
Yeah that's it.
The litteral transalation for those would be "Drawed strip" for bande dessinée and "animated drawing" for dessin animé
Are the important people Japanese? If yes then it is. If they're just a part of the workforce then no
>there's clear distinctions in style and approach between anime and western cartoons
>exceptions make up the rule
>Using a show that the author assumed to be heavily inspired by anime as example
Not helping the case
The director is american, the producer Japanese, the animators are mostly american, and the writer is japanese. How we should call it in this case?
>the animators are mostly american
If by majority you mean majority of the important ones I'd say no. If the important ones were Japanese, while the entire workforce is not I'd say yes.
depends where it's made and marketed
Japanimation
