If an American animation studio outsources it's actual animation dept. to Asia. does that technically make the western-produced show or movie an anime?
No.
>>84452902
If it's target audience is the west it's a cartoon.
If it's target audience is japan, it's an anime.
>>84453341
Thats not how it works but whatever. Thread is dumb
>>84452902
you know the difference between anime and cartoons, don't act like you don't fucking know, shithead.
>>84452902
If you're from Japan, then yeah, I guess, but it'd be regarded as anime there even if it was animated completely in the States because the term seems to be used there as a catch-all for animation.
Otherwise no, unless you want to consider like 90% of TV animation made in the last ~30 years "anime" and more recent stuff "Korean."
BIG AMERICAN PARTY!
>>84452902
Simba has a nice dick sucking mouth.
>>84452902
I'm puzzled by the suggestion that something becomes anime if it's animated in Korea or the Philippines.
>>84453341
If something is made outside Japan there's practically no way it's anime.
I've wondered, what's the best example to shove this fact up /a/'s ass with?
>>84458438
What fact?
>>84452902
>If an American animation studio outsources it's actual animation dept. to Asia
You mean every American cartoon series for the last 35 years?
>>84452902
>western-produced
There's your answer. Anime is nip-produced and nip-animated.
The best way to define an anime is that it is a Japanese animation production by a Japanese studio created for the Japanese audience. That's a definition that no one will get a knot in their panties over.
>>84458582
Anime is better defined as the style of Japanese animation that began with Astro Boy, though usually people consider it synonymous with all Japanese animation because that's pretty much what almost all commercial Japanese animation has been like since the 60s or 70s.
>>84458503
That there's been a good amount of "Western" stuff that they act like there's a big distinction from with
>Muh superior animu
that have more japs than Americans have worked on.
>>84456648
But Japan calls every animated thing an anime
>>84458582
So BigO is /co/?
>>84458699
Yeah there used to be a lot of American shows that were produced in Japan. What about it?
>>84458700
They don't seem to have a name for the specific kind of animation that started with Astro Boy, or even a name for Japanese animation in general, but that doesn't mean we can't have one.
>>84458708
AFAIK they simply produced the episodes they had already planned to produce.
>>84458582
Because if there's 1 thing every single weeb on here deserves, it's caring about if they're pissed off, right?
>>84453341
You do realize that "anime" is just short hand for "animation" which is why Japanese call all animation "anime". People continue talking about it as if it's a fucking genre
>>84458744
Hello, newfriend.
>>84458816
Its a genre in the same way Motown is a genre. So technically no but still yeah kinda.
>>84458816
It is an animation style, form, movement or system. You could probably even call it an animation genre (a genre of animation, not a narrative genre).
>>84458830
How am I a newfriend?
>>84458851
If you weren't 1, you'd already know what I was referring to in your post.
>>84458699
List some examples.
>>84458880
So you can't explain how I'm a newfriend. Ok. Don't worry about it, newfriend.
>>84452902
they usually send over a Western person to oversee all of the Asians doing the grunt-work.
French/Canadian Guy Delisle did a few interesting comics about working in Burma, N. Korea, and China as a manager of asian animators.

Immediately jumping to:
>SO YOU DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER!!!
when someone decides to point out that their response is further showing their level of newness before you press further for an answer.
Asking
>Why? Why? Why?
repeatedly a lot like a 5-year-old.
>>84460524
>Immediately jumping to:

Because he didn't.
>Asking

>repeatedly a lot like a 5-year-old.
So you want to make accusations and claims but you don't want other people to be able to question them.

You/he went straight to that stance prematurely.
>So you want to make accusations and claims but you don't want other people to be able to question them.
The way it's being done here looks like some lame attempt at trolling.
>>84460607
Like I was saying, wait and come back when you're over 18, pathetic little faggot.
>>84460614
It is nothing like Johnny Test.
>>84460685
He said:
>Hello, newfriend.
I asked him:
>How am I a newfriend?
He replied:
>If you weren't 1, you'd already know what I was referring to in your post.
I then stated that he has no explanation, and we never heard from him again.
I cannot fathom why you are trying to white knight him.
>The way it's being done here looks like some lame attempt at trolling.
How?
>>84460736
I've already explained those things.
>and we never heard from him again.
Why, because I was doing something else and you're ignorant of how slowly responses can go on this site in general? Just how much more are you going to confirm your newfaggotry here?
>>84460903
Explained what?
>Why, because I was doing something else and you're ignorant of how slowly responses can go on this site in general?
You were already given a chance to explain yourself. Then you were given another and you just left. Now you have yet another chance but I don't see you explaining anything.
>Just how much more are you going to confirm your newfaggotry here?
You're a newfag projecting his newfaggotry onto others.
>>84460935
>You were already given a chance to explain yourself.
No, spastic child, not really
>Then you were given another and you just left.
Nope
>Now you have yet another chance but I don't see you explaining anything.
Except you didn't ask again, you just started fighting like you're
>OBVIOUSLY right.
Mainly you and your buddy (which could easily be you samefagging, wouldn't surprise me if you thought that was clever) are newfags because of your ignorance of how weebs have acted on 4chan.
Them caring way more about getting
>not anime
off of any /a/-related board than nearly any other rule violation on one.
Some of them coming on /co/ and saying how superior they think anything drawn by a Jap is to "the shitty Western cartoons".
Bull-shit behavior out of them in general.
>>84461097
>No, spastic child, not really
I asked you to explain yourself. You refused.
>Nope
Yes. You could have explained yourself.
>Except you didn't ask again, you just started fighting like you're OBVIOUSLY right.
I already asked you and you already should have explained yourself.
And I have no idea what the rest of your post is even about.
>>84456425
Excuse me, sir, can I see your hard-drive?
>>84461137
So that was you giving me a whole MINUTE AND 15 SECONDS for someone to post a thought-out post? Confirmed for spaz child.
>Yes. You could have explained yourself.
>I already asked you and you already should have explained yourself.
>YOU SHOULD HAVE GIVEN ME THE KIND OF RESPONSE I WANTED INSTEAD OF FIGHTING BACK OVER THE CURRENT TOPIC
Ok, kid

>So that was you giving me a whole MINUTE AND 15 SECONDS for someone to post a thought-out post? Confirmed for spaz child.
I very plainly asked you to explain, right here: >>84458851
Your response was: >>84458880
My response to that was: >>84458901
The post where I said "we never heard from him again" was made two hours later.
>YOU SHOULD HAVE GIVEN ME THE KIND OF RESPONSE I WANTED INSTEAD OF FIGHTING BACK OVER THE CURRENT TOPIC
I asked you to explain, you didn't.
>Ok, kid
You're a kid and you're projecting your underage onto others.
>I don't recognize an answer to it when I do see 1.
No idea what you're talking about. I guess this will be another thing you will never explain.

>>84461307
What is this faggot even mad about? Does he even know?
>>84461436
He called me a newfriend hours ago but couldn't explain why. Now he's... doing something. I don't know what.
>>84461464
Just stop replying to him
let him rot
>>84461436
>Projecting
>>84461464
I did explain, you're too much of a dumb child to understand
>>84461477
Nothing I can't do with the failposting from you guys at this point.
Good idea.
>>84461628
Where did you explain?
>>84452902
I find it weird that other asian countires were so slow to make animations and comics like at the rate japan does.
>>84461725
It's not that easy. Nobody has an animation industry like Japan's.
