Avatar isn't anime, it's cgi. Avatar the last airbender is anime. In Japan anime simply means animated and they consider looney toons to be anime. If you want to start some elitist "anime can only come from japan1010101" idiotfest then you are completely ignoring the fact that the made in Japan goldstandard nation of anime Gods consider Avatar to be anime. So they are the only ones good enough to make "anime" but they are not good enough to value their opinions on it???
Not to mention this kind of idiocy rules out a lot of other shows like Torkeizer and The King's Avatar aka the best anime of this season and perhaps the best mmorpg based anime of all time.

We're speaking English on an English-language forum. What the word means in Japanese has no relevance here; in any English context, "anime" refers to Japanese animation. It's not elitism, it's simply the word's definition. We already have the general term "animation," we don't use a loan word from Japanese to mean the exact same thing.
Avatar: The Last Airbender and shows like it are either anime-styled or Western anime, or whatever other qualifier you prefer.

You're wrong as per Merriam-Webster and Oxford Dictionary.
Sorry let me restate, Avatar:
the Last Airbender
is not anime. Thanks.

Hey, if we can manage a proper, serious, discussion about Bocu no Pico, we can have one about anything.
