Technically, yes, Anime are cartoons. I only get annoyed at the negative connotations that arise from Anime being called cartoons.



"Yep, I agree with that. We see the same old stuff in Hollywood films too, except some of them try another formula every now and then, which probably happens in anime too, I wouldn't know, I don't watch it. I usually avoid watching typical hollywood movies that has been done 1000 times before just with another mask."

true, about 10% of hollywood is original and good...while a significantly larger amount of Anime is too.
