Question

Don't you wish Yahoo Answers had an Anime category?

Answer 1

Tsk.



You know that anime and cartoon - although differ in meaning, genre, plot, suitability and whatever - are both in the same category: Animation. Which is why Yahoo! Answers put them in this very place.



I mean it. How are cartoons differ than anime? They are both produced using the same technique (be it stop-motion, CG, 2D, 3D, whatever - I don't really know the techniques anyway), the difference are all about the plot and genre. If you say anime is funnier, cartoons are, too. Anime is suitable for certain people only? Oh, come on. You know The Simpsons, Futurama, Family Guy and South Park are actually NOT for innocent children.



And why must ANIME only? Because it's made in Japan? Trust me; the anime Naruto is made not only by Japanese, they also hired KOREAN animators to help out. What about Oban Star-Racer, that is made by both Japanese and FRENCH animators? Oh, please. Even Korean have their own "anime", like Spheres and Chichi Pong Kimchi Pong.



Animation - be it Japanese, American, Korean, Malaysian (what? I'm a Malaysian), French, Australian, wherever they come from - are the same thing despite how you call it, and what level they are in. They truly have no difference anyway. >_>

Answer 2

Since when is Anime not cartoons? That's like putting Pokémon on a pedestal, pshhhh. Let them put an Anime category somewhere. I'll still be oblivious to it's existence anyway. Best of luck with that, lol.

Answer 3

i will actually going to vote for it. Yeah, I agree that basically about each and each of the questions that fall lower than the category Comics and Animation are issues with regards to Animes and Manga. and it is going to likely be a lot less stressful because it is going to likely be separated from some thing else of the failings that still fall lower than the Comics and Animation catergory.

Answer 4

People stating that cartoons and anime are one of the same are really not that knowledgable of the genre. I have always wanted YA to have a separate section for Anime and deserves one since the majority of posts on this particular board are anime related. Plus, it will weed out those negative mean posters who take thrills making fun of anime and their fans.

Answer 5

I totally agree dat there should be different category 4 anime,In fact hey should have a subcat in animation 4 anime and manga.

Answer 6

um dude, this may come to you as a revolutionary idea



but ANIME IS CARTOONS



besides this isnt even a cartoon catagory its comics and animation



what is anime short for again?

Answer 7

I tend to agree with you but not necessary to seperate it from cartoons per say but certainly from comic books and to a lesser extent manga. Having said that, even if they did this it wouldn't prevent crossposting. Start a campaign to have it added and see how many agree with you.

Answer 8

I agree with you!

FYI people up there...: Anime are not Cartoons!

Because saying that would mean that cartoons are Anime!

Which is 100% FALSE!

Answer 9

anime, is just short for animation. what more do you want? at least there is a category and we dont have to sandwich our questions in the television category.

Answer 10

yeah, i really do... grouping anime to cartoons is not a good idea in the first place... cartoons suck...!!! and i think it'll be much easier to see anime related questions if they'll separate anime from cartoons...

Answer 11

cartoon always suck and ridiculous but anime is creative and fun to watch

Answer 12

Ya I would vote for that, a category for just anime. Maybe someday though. That will be the day.



AINME ROCKS!!!!!

Answer 13

That's funny, I'm on the other end of that...I think anime sucks and that's why it needs it's own category. I think it's insulting to cartoons.



ANIMATION:

France invented it...

...America perfected it...

...Japan screwed it all up.

Answer 14

maybe...but i think its fine how it is cuz then they would probably make everything have their own little category so it would be even.

Answer 15

Not really, "Animation" is fine.

Answer 16

doesnt matter, but would be nice.

Answer 17

i agree with you
