No... It refers to a style. Because an untrained eye will think Korean animation has said "style made in Japan" when it's not Japanese. Though I suppose saying asian style is okay. But yeah. I think it is crucial to debate the term a little. You have to understand what you're arguing for or against. If someone uses a generalized definition for the term, and then says america can't do that. They're being a hypocrite. If they want america to be distinct, they need to make a distinction in their view as well. I hope that made sense
