was this an anime or not
#53
I was using 'loan' due to the word being a loan word.. As I have an A level in English language I do know how to use it... The examples you give are different to what was being proposed before as what was being said was if an American production company made an anime STYLE show it could be called anime... The examples you give are examples of the grey areas I talked about before... So are the powerpuff girls anime because it tries to imitate the anime style? I think not... Whats the point in relaxing the way we can use the word anime? Then we will just have to make a new word up that implies animation made in Japan and not all animation that looks Japanese...

Edit: And the point of using 'anime' in the Japanese way makes no sense seeing as you are an English speaker and the term in English would not apply... If you were speaking Japanese then thats another story...
