Description
Sometimes older kids pick on younger ones just because they watch cartoons.And what a drama it is when someone tells them that anime is a cartoon,too.
But no.."HOW CAN U COMPARE JAPANIZ ART TO DIS SHIT?"
I agree that anime is like more for teenagers,it can be cruel and bloody.
But it's still a cartoon,even if it's japanese.
In Japan anime is just a shortening of animation.
So just shut up about all this "anime is not cartoon" thing.
Thank you.
Don't mean to offend anyone.
Feel free to use this stamp.

Ah, the days when I used to always correct people when they called an anime a cartoon.Β Looking back it was very silly.

I use the word "anime" forΒ differentiate the japanese animation of the american (or canadian, etc.) cartoon. But both are "dibujos animados" (spanish expression for cartoon, means lit. animated drawing).
Really I dislike the otaku people who dabble with Western cartoons.

So would you rather watch Attack on Titan or Boku no Pico?
I'm just kidding. I agree somewhat with you. I believe that cartoons are for kids, and I don't think anime is for kids. I mean, there are animes like Lucky Star that are appropriate for kids, but otherwise, it's for teens and adults.

Sorry, if I sound a little blunt, but that's a pretty controversial thing to say, I can't help but to somewhat disagree with you. I think what you meant to say is 'Anime is just another form of animation'. The art style, themes, and target audience are pretty distinct for either case. Don't get me wrong, I like both Anime and Western animation(aka cartoons as most people refer tend to them as), each have their own strengths and weaknesses. But if I were you, I'd use the more ambiguous term 'animation' to avoid offending either sides.

I love anime but not some of the fans -__- Some of them get all huffy when you try to tell them it literally translates to 'Japanese cartoon', even Japanese fans consider it cartoons or same for Korean anime it means 'Korean cartoon' there's really no difference besides the art style that is. Anime IS a cartoon whether you agree or not agree. Plus not all anime is serious either before anyone uses that: There are animes with little to no plot just like American cartoons can be.

But then I hear "Anime is more mature and not for kids!"
That can also apply to western animation. Like South Park, Family Guy, Superjail....

I use to think I love anime alot, then I realised I am following way more cartoon comics than anime's...
I can't help it! I was brought up with cartoons, I guess it was the beauty of anime that caught me...

Well, there are hundreds different cartoon styles, and anime is one of them. (I personally prefer western cartoons like Looney Tunes and Disney, but I won't deny that in the end it's all cartoon, no matter if it's western or Japanese.)

I'm an anime fan who will admit anime IS A CARTOON!!! I don't get why fans make such a big deal about it :/
And one thing I keep seeing the most is when they say that cartoons are just for little kids. So, stuff like "Family Guy" or "South Park" was made for little kids as well?

The difference (and the reason why I like to state the diference) is that only 10% of animes are for kids, 45% is for teens and 45% for adults.
Cartoons are almost 100% limited to children, because everything else seems unthinkable!
Preconception is the difference :/ otherwise I'd agree with you!

Anime are animation.
Cartoons are animation.
Anime are made by humans.
Cartoons are made by humans.
And many people enjoy them.
There's no difference at all.

Very true, yes. I also agree that many will often get very pissed about this topic as well and go apeshit weeaboo all over it. But I must say it is much easier to keep track with differing Anime from Cartoons because they are from separate cultures. Example, say 'anime'. What comes to mind? Spongebob Squarepants or Dragonball Z? Just sayin...

That's true.

I love this stamp
Like you said anime just means cartoon in Japanese, it's funny because if you go on popular Japanese websites like NicoNicoDouga they still call cartoons like Foster's Home, Power Puff Girls, South Park, MLP etc "Anime"
So I really don't see why everyone gets so upset when you call an anime "cartoon", it's pretty much the same thing.

anime is the term that americans use for Japanese shows or the animated version of manga. cartoons are used for western shows and barely any are based on books. when someone calls anime cartoons they are wrong in the way that anime is eastern. when somebody calls cartoons anime they dont know what anime means. true that another main difference is the art style, but that same difference makes them how different spongebob is to a live action show. also just saying, if someone called a cartoon you watch anime, wouldn't you agree

cartoon is also a proper term for it though. i personally refer to it as anime because it's a more widely used term, but they're all cartoons. we have a japanese foreign exchange student and i was hanging out with her the other day and we watched family guy, which she called an anime. they're all the same thing.
