Bugs Bunny is cartoon, Fantasia is a cartoon, Toy Story is a cartoon and all anime are cartoons. All anime are cartoons, not all animation is cartoons. All cartoons are animation. |

It's something where you need to rent a couple of the highly regarded films, both from Hayao Miyazaki and more adult-oriented output and watch them with an open mind. I'd be surprised if you're disappointed.

You'll have to have a proper sort out and see if it turns up at the bottom of a pile of DVDs! Another title which is really worth checking out and I should have mentioned in my previous post is Ghost in the Shell, described as "A stunning feat of modern animation, Ghost in the Shell offers a thoughtful, complex treat for anime fans, as well as a perfect introduction for viewers new to the genre."

The way I see it we cant agree on the appropriate nature of the scene so ill play the good man and step down for now, ill just say one thing though. I would protest just as loudely if it had been live action. Oh and Goji, animation is a medium of entertainment, cartoons (american or european et al) and anime (Japanese) are two sub medians of this medum. Calling all anime cartoons is like calling all romantic comedys horror movies. |

I have no idea what you think "cartoon" means. I particularly don't see what country it is from has to do with anything. As you say, animation is a medium of entertainment (though this is a crass simplification). It includes stop motion animation, collage animation and drawn animation. The drawn animations are cartoons. It's all tremendously simple to understand. "Anime" is a term to describe (a style of) Japanese cartoons. It does not describe anything separate from cartoons, but cartoons from a specific film industry with a certain look. It is both correct and acceptable to refer to anime as cartoons. Because they are. |

I do like a lively debate! alas, all I have to contribute is a mediocre question... like a few others, I have avoided anime like the plague due to the mistaken belief that it is 'below' the kind of stuff I would usually watch. considering that I'm a member of this forum, you'll have a rough idea of my usual film diet, someone recommend me something to go and watch? a mate of mine has already told me to go and rent a season of DBZ, but I fear the recommendation of 'it's violent, you'll like it' might do a slight disservice to my taste |
