The Boondocks and Afro Samurai, Question Options

[fameONE]

So there was a Marine, an Airman and a Soldier sitting on a pile of sandbags, right? And the Marine mentions that he just got the box set of Afro Samurai as well as the soundtrack. The Airman co-signs the fabulous purchase, and mentions that he just copped The Boondocks. The Soldier said, "those aren't legitimate animes because there's no manga to them."

Huh? Dude's mad misinformed.

Does anyone here question the legitimacy either series?

They're totally anime. It doesn't really matter, though. The Boondocks is genius, anime or not. Never seen Afro Samurai but it must be pretty snazzy with Samuel L. Jackson doing voice overs.

Don't forget that the score and soundtrack is composed/produced by the legendary RZA. Wu-Tang Clan ain't nuttin' to fuck wit'!

Boondocks are an American cartoon, no japanese affiliations what so ever.

Definition time!!!

Anime (アニメ, Anime? IPA pronunciation: /ɑnime/ listen? in Japanese, but typically /ˈænɪˌme(ɪ)/ or /ˈænɪmə/ in English) (plural anime) is an abbreviation of the word "animation". Outside Japan, the term most popularly refers to animation originating from Japan; and to the Occidental way of thinking, not all animations are considered anime. Anime is therefore usually considered to be a subset of animation.

Anime is traditionally hand drawn, but like in most animation computer assisted animation techniques have become quite common in recent years. The story-lines of anime represent most major genres of fiction and most motion-picture media (television broadcast, DVD and VHS distribution, and full length motion pictures).
