Does an anime counts as 'cartoon' if it was dubbed when you watched it and it was based on a western source?

Not if it was originally fully Japanese, no; it's still anime.
If it was a co-production between Japan and another country, then it can count as a cartoon for Sup Forums purposes.
Owen Peterson
Can do.
Andrew James
Primo
Tyler Campbell
No, that's why Digimon threads always get deleted.
Joshua Richardson
What is this show?
William Bailey
what western source is digimon based on?
Christopher Cooper
Stuff like Maya the Bee used to be allowed, but the current mods don't communicate with us anymore. We just have to guess the rules based on what does and doesn't get deleted.
Julian Anderson
Anime is animation made in Japan
Caleb Young
Little Mrs. Pepperpot
sadly, the loli redhead is not the star of the show.
Jason Reed
is china or korea allowed here?
William Evans
The Wars of the Roses
Juan Thompson
Technically yes, because they're not Japan.
Sup Forums is Japan, which makes Sup Forums the rest of the world.
Though being Eastern, they could fall into limbo because they're neither Western nor Japanese.

"anime" are cartoons. Fight me you pretentious, overly pedantic faggot
Luis Cox
According Sup Forums, anime is Sup Forums. Those are the rules of Sup Forums. That is the way the boards have been set up, on Sup Forums, with anime and cartoons being separate.
Sup Forums.org/rules#a
Sup Forums.org/rules#co
Please feel free to explain to Sup Forums that "anime" is short for animation, so Western cartoons are allowed there. Report back with your findings.
Re-reading the rules for Sup Forums, Eastern comics and cartoons that are not from Japan would fall into limbo, being neither anime/manga, nor Western.
Tyler Ortiz
two years' vacation by jules Verne, the creator mentioned it a long time ago.
Josiah Phillips
Nope. But apparently live action movies and tv shows count as comics and cartoons on this board, so do whatever you want.
Ryder Evans
Dude, I loved this show when I was a kid. I must have been like 9 or something, but I remember being ashamed that I liked it because it was on nick jr (and being a kid, that wasnt cool back then to watch that block). I so I had to stealth watch episodes, but goddamn, they were amazing. I'm really hoping for a re-release on this.
Also, people dont give Saban enough credit for bringing in anime to the states back then.
Asher Green
Well, that's good
Jose Young
I think stuff can stay up as long as the mods don't realize it's japanese, and they don't actively dislike it.
Luke Garcia
Sup Forums here. No, it's anime if it's made in Japan. It's not anime if it's made somewhere else. It's only called anime because that's what the Japanese call it, it's all cartoons.
Samuel Jenkins
>Also, people dont give Saban enough credit for bringing in anime to the states back then.
THIS
Saban was an absolute pioneer in bringing over Jap media (anime, toku) and modifying it for US tastes and censorship standards.
Adrian Martin
>it was on nick jr
Oh, so this is why I'm only just finding out about it now. I used to avoid the hell out of Nick Jr as a kid. I feel almost cheated now, because Grimm's Fairytale Classics looks great, but I don't think it could occupy my attention the same way now as an adult if I tried watch it as when I used to be able to veg out in front of the tv and watch pretty much anything as a kid.

Tamers, the third season, was Lovecraftian of all things.
Luke Wright
How does Samurai Pizza Cats fit in?
Gavin Williams
WHAT ABOUT SHOWS MADE BY THE JAPANESE FOR AMERICAN AUDIENCES?
Logan Thompson
And that is why they are not seen in food eyes, even Harmony Gold wasn't that bad.
Jackson Gutierrez
Threads usually get about 300-400 posts, maybe even getting to autosage
Lucas Cruz
Yep. It's only asshurt weab fags that bitch about MUH MACROSS. Robotech still holds up very well and I loved watching it, Voltron, and Saber Rider as a kid in the late 80's.
Evan Thompson
Go to Sup Forums, you coward.
It's always the same with you "I know this isn't technically Sup Forums, but hear me out" people.
Owen Roberts
Sometimes a thing is neither, or both of 2 things.
Logan Price
Sometimes allowed, but usually we just talk about how great the theme tune is
Lincoln Baker

Luke Nelson
Where do you think we are?
Michael Lopez
Needs more art of her.
Nicholas Sanders
>"anime" are cartoons
They're two completely different things.
Jeremiah Mitchell
In a place with many posters, all having childhoods varying in quality.
my childhood > your childhood

I know this discussion happens way too often, but I really can't stress enough how much I can't stand the words "anime" and "manga" in English. They emerged out of an enthusiasm for the tropes and themes that were common in Japanese animation 20 years ago which was fine while it lasted, and seemed more contained to people who used words like "otaku". But the fact that to this day it continues to be used so strictly with everything that comes from Japan is so pointless and really has no purpose other than making you sound like an awkward dork in conversation and needlessly quarantining every animated work that comes from Japan regardless of how much it resembles anything else in the world or not.
Pic related is an example of something that is clearly very eastern in style but because it's Korean it's just called animation. I just really don't understand the value of the word "anime" if people label things as such based solely on whether or not they were made in this one particular country, rather than the content itself of what they're labeling, especially when said country follows no such rule.
Austin Hall
Anime is a unique form of animation, a unique industry and a unique culture, so there's no reason why it shouldn't have a word to describe it.
>Pic related is an example of something that is clearly very eastern in style but because it's Korean it's just called animation.
Anime is not defined by the fact that it's "Eastern."
People seem to object to the anime label because they're jealous.
Kevin Stewart
Funny, Japan uses the word cartoon for western animation.
Luis Hernandez
sometimes, but i'm pretty sure more often they called it "foreign animation"
Levi Perry
That's what they use on pixiv. Or don't make any distinction.
