Err... why not? I guess it depends on whether you think anime is a subgenre of animation or a strictly Japanese cultural phenomenon that nobody else can play with. There are tons of American mangas that are recognized as "mangas" instead of "comics," and that's based on the style not the country of origin.
@OT, I'm 2 episodes deep into Paranoia Agent, and just watched FLCL for the first time and then all of Evangelion for the millionth time. I'm mostly watching anime movies right now, but when I have time I got some Naruto to catch up on. Sounds like a great idea for this new Dragon Ball though. I watched the Frieza saga in high school, and I could have easily cut out 70% of it. Now after film school ruined my brain I could probably cut out 90% of it. |
I ain't arguing with no film major!
I mostly refrain from calling Avatar: The Last Airbender "anime" because doing so tends to start up a lot of arguments, particularly from people who hold that Western animation is inherently inferior.
