Anime aren't cartoons?

[Deleted User]

Well you wouldn't call Yaoi(Anime) a cartoon would you?

Yaoi isn't anime.

Edit: Yaoi is a genre

 

[Deleted User]

Yes it is..there's Manga and Anime..

Any form of Anime is a cartoon. It's a fact; "cartoon" is animation.

Even hentai is just a cartoon.

Just like normal pron is just moving picture frames of people having sex.

And ALL of these things are just visual you see from reflecting light...

What was I talking about again?

 

[retKHAAAN]

Yes it is..there's Comic Book and Cartoon..

Fixed

Content does not define medium...

If it's animated, it's still a cartoon regardless of what it is about.

LOL^ Okay then.. ._.

 

[Schlupi]

You guys being sticklers about words.

OH WAIT that's what we are all doing.

A simple drawing showing the features of its subjects in an exaggerated way, esp. in a newspaper or magazine.

That is the definition of a cartoon, no animation is involved. Manga are often called comic books, but they are solely manga and they actually preceded comics. Even further, anime are japanese animations and simply that.

More precisely

: a preparatory design, drawing, or painting (as for a fresco)
2
a : a drawing intended as satire, caricature, or humor
b : comic strip
3
: animated cartoon
4
: a ludicrously simplistic, unrealistic, or one-dimensional portrayal or version

What I'm saying is that you wouldn't call Yaoi an anime/cartoon or manga/doujinshi/comic book in the first place because it's a genre.

 

[Zarcon]

Technically, if we're going by definition then all cartoons are anime.
Since anime is short for animation.
At least the original Japanese word "anime" is.

Not this adopted western version of the word.

Yea,I see what your saying,but what Im saying as long as its a "Japanese Animation/Cartoon" it would count as an Anime,

That is true, excluding show, as that is not always true.

I call all animated shows cartoons, pisses my friend off sometimes, but it's how I see it.

I'll try this again...

but then you go on to define a "cartoon" as:

they are all "types" of cartoons

anime is a "type" of cartoon. that is the whole point on this blog. it is not some mystical medium in and of itself. it is a cartoon from Japan.

Oh, I see, you're trying to say that the definition "animated cartoon" means anime is a type of cartoon. Unfortunately, that doesn't work. If it said "Animation", that would be one thing, but it said animated cartoon, and references the word it is defining in it's own definition, thus narrowing the generalization.

I'm not "trying" to say anything. I "am" saying it.

tell you what. I'm going to decide that definition 2b (of the definition YOU provided) is the proper definition of a cartoon. Then I am going to apply that to definition 3 in stating that a cartoon is an animated comic strip... Truth be told, you can find more definitions on the net such as the one Buleste posted earlier or the one I posted in my OP...

If you have to get that convoluted in order for it to make sense...you're going to lose some people along the way...
