Ok yes, Anime is short for "animation" from the french. And yes one of the main characteristics of anime is its japanese origin. (Please god dont say Japanimation)
BUT, the most notable, and the main characteristic of which to distinguish anime is its animation style. With more realistic movements and emotions, it has the ability to tap into a more mature genre and produce shows and movies which delve into romance, drama, and even sex. This is what seperates anime from other forms of drawn entertainment. Those pointy eyes, unbelievable hair, and classic anime sweat drops and other moments are what make anime what it is, not that it was made in a certain country. Which is why there is a such thing as American Anime. They mimick the animation style of their Japanese counterparts and create their own storylines. Thus giving it that american touch. So, in conclusion, yes there is American Anime, we're all using the phrase now, and its what will be used to describe american shows with an anime style. Just because a Golden Delicious apple is yellow doesnt mean its not an apple. And just so you all know, Avatar the Last Airbender is an American produced show, and is written and created by Nickelodeon, but is animated in Korea. |
