I think anime are cartoons. Why do people get so 'protective' of 'anime' being called a cartoon? 'Anime' means Animation or Cartoon in Japanese (I've looked it up many times and it all means the same). Don't people know this? My friend at school is a anime nerd and whenever I call 'anime' a cartoon, she hits me. I have been researching on what's the difference between anime and cartoon and my conclusion is that there is no difference, they are both the same, difinition wise but not the origin. True 'anime' is from Japan, but so what? it is still a cartoon isn't it? Sure it's mostly rated for teens (15+) because of the sexuality, violance and language, but there are American cartoons that have that stuff too. I just don't get it.
Can some one please anser my question. It's been bothering me for weeks now.
