For me anime is cartoons from japan (including pokemon and stuff). If I'd base it by drawing style then I would have a hard time fitting Ghibli stuff in since that's drawn more realistic. If I'd base it by story incredibles stuff would fit into the anime category.
I always used to think anime is all about action, robots, sex and gore (and that is what attracted me to anime) but now that i'm into it i see sports anime, comedy, love stories. Everything we have in real life tv gets animated. I'm still most into action and fighting stuff and don't really see the appeal of an animated love story or comedy since I like to see real people portray those emotions. I watch anime for the awesome imagination that japanese artists have. I want to see shows that just can't be made in real life tv shows. Anime is perfect for that and Japanse are masters in thinking up stories that no westerner would ever think of. Alot of the subjects they bring up interest me like powers of the mind/superpowers, humans destroying the enviroment, advanced technology's and science fiction. Movie technology is catching up but anime can still make shows that aren't possible in real life.
(btw, where's that dragonballz movie. Anyone know what's up with that one? Perfect example of a show that's hard to surpass the anime with in live action)
