Okay ...let's see if i can somehow work my way aorund this thought I have. Anime...is just a sytle of art that was 'started' in Japan right? And sense it is just a style...it's not something that belongs per se to that region. Meaning....if other people draw cartoons and so forth that aren't loney toon esque...it isn't anime. They did not lay claim to a sytle that is inheriently just a sytle outside of the american style. I mean, people are allowed to draw cartoons in a realistic yet still obviosuly cartoonish way....and it dosent have to be labled anime. Anime is characterized by certain things, the large eyes and long legs, long torsos and so forth. But a person can take that same idea and change it to fit thier style and if they deviate enough from anime....if they create a style all thier own but it is still a realistic version of a cartoon....its not anime...right? Do yuh get me? Do I make sense? At all? Bah it just bothers me.
