I'm an anime purist now?

lol

I dislike anime, it's stagnant and regurgitates concepts and characters ad infinitum.

That doesn't mean what you're saying is correct.

I like how you went ahead and ignored everything I said with some "you need citations" nonsense.

Quoting wikipedia is not helping your case either.

I'm a senior traditional animation major.

If you don't think what I'm saying is trustworthy then whatever.

I don't feel like arguing the point further.

Then please contradict the AHD which is an established dictionary of which is used extensively in education circles.

You both didn't answer my question which is the crux of the entire thread.

Here, I'll quote it again.

Hypothetically let us just say that AS was created and story boarded by a Canadian of non-Japanese decent. He/she however wanted it to be in the same style of anime. Is it still considered anime?

It is a yes or no answer, either you consider it Anime or you don't.

If no, then the Anime is a style of animation that must be created and drawn by Japanese to exclusion of any other country or race.

If yes, then Anime is defined as animation style and technique that developed in Japan.

Your (Femto) title of "senior traditional animation major" counts for something, but I would expect some more knowledge to be demonstrated because while I did quote wikipedia, it didn't do it in masse in comparison with everything else I quoted and cited which happened to include the Pacific-Asian Arts of UCLA and the American Heritage Dicitonary.

The

That's just how it is, no "if" "ands" or "buts" about it.

shouldn't be accepted at face value because it no longer is true.

For the time being, you can call it 'imitation anime' I guess, I still maintane that non-japanese can still produce anime just like how non-japanese can make manga (Studio Ironcat). I make a big argument about it because I think people who make 'anime' even if not japanese should have it considered to be anime.

Depends on where it was produced.

A director's country of origin is not enough grounds to call something "anime" or "not anime."

You know, Spirits Within was helmed by Hironobu Sakaguchi but it was actually produced in Hawaii.

It's not anime.

Don't get me wrong, I understand your point regarding style and whatnot but the fact of the matter is, an American show that has an anime style to it is still not anime.

Starnum has the right mindset about this whole issue.

Why don't you lock your face!?

For me anime is the the style of animation that 99% of the time comes from japan.

If Afro Samurai looks like anime style then it is anime.


Also anime isnt simply animation made by japanese. Cause i have seen western animation with the western style that had japanese people work on it.


If Afro Samurai looks like Batman,Alladin,Teen Titans or whatever western animation then its simply not anime.

Aladdin had great music.

At first I thought it was just a typo, but you have done it in multiple posts. You stutter when you type.

You guys are no fun at all, I'll change Femto's title to 'stick in the mud' .

So... lock or not?

My problem is i type too fast to even see how i wrote a post.

Normally when i write english in a calm way i don't mess up as much.

Also several times its laziness, i think " eh who cares they see what i mean"


You should see how horrible i am in irc,msn etc.

I hate locking threads in the off-the-wall. Let threads die a natural death.

I nominate this for "Funkiest Thread of 2006."

PS: Somebody change my rank to something funny.

I'm tired of the one I have.

I nominate "Latino Heat" or something of the sort.
