whatever~
Okay that isn't really a discussion
uh
So what is RWBY classified as anyways? It's not a fanime, so is it an anime?
Also, what about Legend of Korra? Is that an anime or what?
How do you guys classify what is anime and what isn't anime?

RWBY is probably best classified as an "indie animation." Rooster Teeth is a private animation studios and LLC, so to me "indie" is the appropriate term. If you want to get real technical like the wiki, RWBY is "an anime-styled American CG-animated web-series"  AtLA & LoK, and all other American animation that looks anime-influenced is labeled "American animation influenced by the Japanese animation style" in everything official I've ever seen. Some would argue that it is still considered a cartoon since "anime is just the Japanese term for cartoons" but the primary difference in Cartoons and Anime isn't necessarily West vs East, it's whether or not it's Episodic in nature. Cartoons are typically only really connected via same characters/place, but each little episode has it's own shenanigans. Whereas if it's episodic, much like almost every anime, it's a continued story plot from one to the next. Initially, yes, anime was just short for animation, but now it's mostly used to define the Japanese animation style. So while LoK isn't technically an anime since it is an American animation, it is definitely influence by the Japanese anime style. Personally, I just call stuff like Totally Spies, Avatar, etc, Anime-Inspired Shows. Just like with comics, if it's more in the style like Marvel and all that, Comics. If it's more in the Manga style, Manga. I don't get bent out of shape if someone calls my works "comics", hell I even do it sometimes, even though I don't follow the flow of American comics so mine is more of a manga style. Webcomics is kinda the umbrella term no one seems to care whether or not the online story is a comic or manga they just want to read it. LOL |

I thought people would be posting stupid jokes and just say what they're doing atm once this thread was made but I guess that's not what the fanime community is like lol.
Idk what to call RWBY and Korra but they're definitely not anime. I'd like to categorize them as "who the hell cares." Some people (I'm not talking about anyone on this forum) take this argument so seriously as if RWBY and Korra becoming an anime would ruin anime. They're not even that bad from an entertainment standpoint, and they wouldn't affect every other anime.
It's hard to say what's anime and what's not because some animes are released in America first (like Space Dandy), some animes are based on Marvel comics, some parts of certain American cartoons aren't episodic and some anime are episodic so I don't really feel like doing my research and debating this.

I hate when people mess pizza up. Like don't put tons on cheese on and nothing else, how the hell are you supposed to taste the whole package. Maybe I'll go to Italy and get some real pizza. Italy has some great food, lucky people. Greek food is good too.

We had to make pizza in home ec, and our teacher made everyone use the pre-made dough that comes in the can. Like the Pillsbury stuff.
We were required to roll it out on the pan and make it big enough. The darn thing wouldn't roll out though. It was so frustrating. I ended up ripping part of the pizza dough and having to stick it back on. The dough looked like a preschooler who tried to draw a circle but failed miserably. We baked it... oh well.
We put our sauce (Also from a jar) and other toppings (Mushrooms, peppers, pepperoni, onion, cheese... all we were allowed to get) on the dough. The area of the dough was pretty small, so we just piled the toppings on. Loaded them on. We had so many toppings left, we just piled them on higher and higher. There were supposed to be three people in our kitchen, but one was gone so it was just me and another kid.
We stuck that puppy in the oven, and when we popped it out.... it looked like a mess.
I tasted it and was instantly mesmerized.
That was the best damn pizza I ever had. I took an extra piece to my friend since I had a ton left, and she too was impressed.
I don't think I've ever had Greek food aside from hummus. I didn't like it, but then again, it probably wasn't quality hummus. Is hummus Greek? I don't even know.

If you want another topic to discuss: What are your thoughts on pizza? Lol I checked on here first thing after a very broken sleep, so forgive me for being long winded. Indie is the term used for Independent production. Indie games, Indie music, Indie animation - However Animation typically uses OVA for Original Video Animation. If you're curious, here's IMDb's list of some that you may know.  www.imdb.com/list/ls050259188/As for Pizza... I have flings with it. Some years I cannot get enough, and then some it's like "I'd rather have chicken." ...here recently Pizza and I have been rekindling our love. |

If we keep classify stuff as animation, or anime inspired shows.
like totally spies, and stuff like rwby not as anime, then were not really opening doors for "western anime".
We are kinda closing them. Same with manga. It kinda bothers me.. Sorry >A>;;

We are kinda closing them. Same with manga. It kinda bothers me.. Sorry >A>;; "Anime" is literally cartoons that are made in Japan. That's what the actual word means. If you talk to a Japanese person they even just call anime "Japanese cartoons". So I personally don't understand how a show can be anime if it was not made in Japan or written by a Japanese person because then it is not a Japanese cartoon. If you change the definition to fit a certain style, then certain anime can't be called "anime" anymore. For example,  Shinchan can no longer be considered anime if you change the definition to mean a certain style of drawing. Same with Panty Stocking with Garterbelt,  which is super Western inspired. By changing the definition of what is "anime" and what isn't to a specific stylistic code, I honestly think you are closing doors and limiting innovation on what is currently an already notoriously stuffy industry. Also I don't see how classifying something as "animation" is closing doors it's such a wide open term... |

I guess you could always call it Japanimation if it gets too complicated.
Shows like RWBY and Korra could be considered "anime-influenced" if they are influenced by anime, but it's all just a style. You don't call Western comic books 'manga'; you don't call Western animation 'anime'.
I'm probably wrong but that's where I stand.
