A/N: so Someone on here talked to me about putting RWBY on my top 10 anime list and said I shouldn't have put it since it wasn't made in Japan, it's not an anime. WHAT DOES IT FUCKING MATTER, ANIMATION IS ALL THE SAME THING!!!!!

It doesn't matter if it's CGI or hand drawn. It's all the same thing: Animation. Even if it's done in a different country outside of Japan, it's still the same.

Comics - Manga.
Cartoons - Anime.
CGI...... (I actually can't think of an equivalent for CGI).

All of these are all part of the same thing no matter what different styles they're in.

This is a statement from someone named "Ero Sɘnnin". Here's what he said.

"Anime" was actually ORIGINALLY meant to describe animation, but that used a particular number of frames per second, before becoming a term just for animations in general. Anime doesn't HAVE to be strictly Japanese, but some rules have to be followed for this (the same applies to "manga," the comic book version of anime).

If an anime is made in Japan (especially if the original language of creation is Japanese) then it is free to be called anime. Same goes for manga. However, if it has the same or a similar enough style to anime or manga but is made OUTSIDE of Japan (for a good example, see the Korean-made "March Story" series) then two actions could be taken; calling it either a "cartoon" or "graphic novel" depending on the medium, to differentiate it; OR, you may call it anime or manga, if the country or origin/main release is SPECIFIED (so March Story would be Korean Manga, and Avatar would be American Anime). This implies that it looks like anime, maybe even has similar themes or stereotypes as anime, or manga, but that it ISN'T because of the country of origin. This appeases everybody, and makes sense."

See? It's all the same when it comes to animation. You can do different types of things with it and it's still in the same thing with each other.

Austin: it doesn't matter what it is. anime means animation therefore any type of animation is anime. If you can't handle that kind of truth, all well. So if you want to come at me saying that rwby isn't an anime, then your aren't thinking deep.
