Do you consider Anime/Japanime to be "cartoons"?

[Anonymous]

Can u explain..

Yes it's cartoons!

No it's not!

[Astarlessnightsky]

You could define it as japanese cartoons, when explaining it to someone who never heard of it, but anime is different enough to deserve its own category.

[AviatorTom]

Yes, they are cartoons, animated drawings. So what?

[Anemone978]

Well it is animation.. but the story lines and genres are better.. Cartoons can not compete with anime..

[Nikki1989]

Yes, and just as childish as most other cartoons.

[NathanDavis]

no...

while both are caricatures and that is the one thing they have in common... cartoons and anime have had extremely different developments and stories about how they became to be the animated styles they are today

their aim and reach are very different as well

it would be like thinking that a Mustang and a Camaro are just the same and they're both "just muscle cars" lol

[TheSpaceGnome]

Yes, the words cartoon and anime are synonyms, both are shorthand for animation.

[Sasahara]

No, there are stop motion anime too, not hust cartoons. Anime is the Japanese word for animation.

[jahaims]

Cartoon: a motion picture using animation techniques to photograph a sequence of drawings rather than real people or objects.

[Yannae]

I'd say they're subgenres of the same thing, Animation.

[Iron_Man]

Yes, but I don’t like that at all that stuff. I like cartoons like Scooby Doo, bugs, bunny

[Little_Bumblebee]

No, I see it as different things.

[shortster]

Yes, a subset of cartoons.

[Rose000]

Nope
