That's a nice children's handbook you got there, mate.

The translation is animation, the actual english word from which it comes from. And that word doesn't convey any kind of drawing style, unlike the word cartoon. Misused by many to mean everything that is animated. That's playing with semantics, but you seem to want to keep this going.

Cartoon doesnt convey a specific drawing style, and even using your definition, western animation (cartoons) has far more variations in style than "anime"

But it's not like you're gonna convince me I'm wrong, and I cant convinve you either. I'm mainly just unable to see "anime=/=cartoons" without saying "ha ha, nope"
