        The real discussion to be had is how "anime" is the term these companies use for serious western animation that's not even made or conceived in Japan.

          It's just a marketing thing. And it's not like morons around here use it much better considering anime literally just means cartoon so all cartoons are 'animes' by default.

          Is this really what it's all come down to? Just think how poorly this speaks to the history of illustration.

          marvel's what if or blue eye samurai will never be called anime. pseudo anime are clearly trying to be look anime-ish.
          even the ones that are not so obvious like pantheon and the owl house, or even invincible are heavily influenced by anime style. it's pretty disturbing that some people deny this.

          Anime is taken more seriously because characters are known to look more human than average cartoon characters who are just shapes placed together and the writing is usually dramatic almost like a live action drama and it just generally looks visually more appealing. Cartoons used to be more varied, but has declined drastically compared to anime, which isn't doing it any favors.

      Which is more than other shows called anime can claim. However, it's not like BTAS has ever been marketed as anime.

      It's just a marketing thing. And it's not like morons around here use it much better considering anime literally just means cartoon so all cartoons are 'animes' by default.

      Of course, it's a marketing term. But Japanese animation is very clearly different from western animation and that term helps divide the two, but these companies are obviously using it because it's popular and sounds better than calling something a cartoon.

          Then why do the japanese talk about anime differently than they talk about cartoons? Why is there such a strong culture that connects anime/manga/vns/jrpgs/cosplay etc. and has a huge electric town centered around this stuff?

            Because Otaku spend money, and the vast majority of them spend money on domestic IPs that were designed specifically to cater to them and extract their money.

                In japan there is anime, and there is foreign anime. Anime is literally their word for animation you dipshit.

                If I talk about a cartoon and a russian cartoon, I am clearly making a distinction between them, but it is not because I consider them a different type of media you moron.

                You are so fricking dumb. Nowhere did I imply that there is tribalism. Of course there isn't. That doesn't mean that they talk about them in the same way and that there is the same culture surrounding them.
                >Theyll hold evnagelion in the same regard as tom and jerry
                Now you are just throwing words that you've heard on Cinemaphile and forgetting the context. The context was that anno's 5th favorite childhood animated series was t&j which is correct.

      Wouldn't that be something that 1) flopped in America but 2) is fairly popular overseas? Baccano wasn't exactly a hit in Japan.

    There's a fair amount, albeit they're mostly animated by Koreans. Though, to be fair, it's not like outsourcing is unheard of in Japan. The main problem with western "anime" is often the writing. Typically the writers are either way too ambitious and can't follow through, they get their heads up their asses, or they're just plain dumb. Or all of those at once. Again, not to say these aren't common problems for the japs too, but they seemingly have a better time hitting a more palatable compromise of ambition, pretentiousness, and stupidity that seems to elude westerners. That's why stuff like AtLA is such a rare, precious israeliteel: it's ambitious but mostly follows through, not too up its own ass, and not too stupid.

    They do, all the time, but even for the shittiest anime you still need people who are able to draw properly, and that's rare in western animation industry currently
