.............Because it was not 100% made in Japan or Asia does it not mean it still can be clasifies as anime. If it looks the same and still can hold a candle against other series it should seriously be considered anime

BTW the term anime refers to cartoons made in Japan. I actually had to expalin this to my japanese friends. They didn't know we made a distinction between what we call anime and regular cartoons here in america.

I have two conflicting statements here. One says that anime is defined by style. The other says it is defined by "made in Japan"
