Yes, but I'm going to assume you are neither in Japan nor are you Japanese, so why on earth are you attempting to apply a Japanese meaning to a word which, while Japanese in origin, has long since been incorporated into the English language with the specific intent to differentiate Japanese animation from that of other nations.

It's just that in the west we adopted the universal word for animation for our own purposes, and so people like to debate the exact definition behind the word. It's like how people in the west sometimes use 'Ota*u' in it's literal translation (enthusiast) sans the Japanese cultural stereotypes associated with the word, while other people attach them all the same and don't like to employ the word.

Yes, RWBY does have heavy plot similarities with anime (though if you think it's 90% then you clearly don't have a very wide anime spectrum)) which is why I said above that the bones of the plot were animesque, but that is meaningless without taking into account the plots method of PROGRESSION, the THEMES that are relevant in the work, the approach to CINEMATOGRAPHY employed, the FOCAL CONTENT that the series makes use of, the TARGET DEMOGRAPHIC of the work and a whole host of other things that draw their source from the very JAPANESE creators and their JAPANESE sensibilities, and the whims and favors of a JAPANESE consumer market.

Why not discuss RWBY on the RWBY thread, and Avatar on the Avatar thread? Unless your going to bring it back to a discussion on the similarities and differences between eastern and western animation, or a dialogue on animes influence on media in the west or something of that nature where 'anime' (western definition) is relevant, neither title really needs to be discussed on the anime thread.

1) Was unaware of the fact that RWBY even has its own forum. i don't go on rs forums. Heck i barely even play runescape much for that matter. Why i post here? Simple, the anime thread is sticky/active.

2) I know rwby or avatar isn't technically anime. Sorry i didn't think praising a show and its soundtrack was such a big deal, it's what i'v been into lately. I assumed people here were lax and talked about shows we all liked. I know alot of anime fans also enjoy avatar, and since it was just recently announced that season four of Korra was confirmed for this fall. I thought i would share the information with people that may not know.

3) Now i feel like i'm getting attacked defending a show i love because whoopty doo, japan didn't make it. -I'M AWARE- I couldn't contribute to the conversation previously going on because i'm not watching any airing animes.

4) I was just using spongebob as an example.

-Let me say that this was first time posting on this thread in over a year. I thought it would be nice since I wanted to get back playing runescape because dxp was confirmed. Oh boy was i wrong, ill be sure to not post here again.

My apologies! :@

Nobody was "attacking" you in the first place. I didn't mind your initial comment nor did anybody else I'm assuming. Flirty Loli's response was nothing but innocent sarcasm to which you responded "Animation is animation no matter where its made, or what language they are speaking." Then Jesse informed you otherwise. That's it, nothing more.

Guys thoughts on Zankyou no Terror and Tokyo Ghoul?

best this season i**


agreed with you on zankyou im not watching tokyo ghoul as im already watching enough as it is plan to pick it up when it finishes though. Im also really into aldnoah zero...while the plot is nothing special the soundtrack is awesome and I find it very entertaining. Nozaki kun has been unexpectedly funny as well and has made me genuinely laugh out loud on a few occasions.

Well it's not classified as an anime. It's an American cartoon, those typically focus on comedy rather than building up a story. Also say what you like about harem but it still has more plot then say, Family Guy.

He seems to attack every new poster, I think it's an initiation. I wouldn't take it to heart. Actually he's like me, Pixel is a noob and overreacted, because that's what Pixel does, goes on some crusade against anyone who insults her. Then again I did that too but that was flamebaiting :p .

If yall like comedies check out Mayoi Chiki, it's about a gun with gynophobia who's forced to overcome his phobia. Scenes had me ******* dying laughing.

Oh and I dled Golden Time, just gotta convert it seeing as it's in .mkv.

Oh and I guess I could apologise for the flaming. Maybe I overdid it ;)

Oh and has anyone seen Love Live! Because it seems half the internet is raving about it.
