Guidelines
-
Try to keep it left; memes don't need to be socialist in nature, but it'd be nice if we could keep the discussions that way.
-
Posts do not necessarily need to be about anime memes, they can also be about other things related to anime, or having an 'anime' art style.
-
Try to provide sources for the images you post.
-
There's nothing else for now. We hope you have a great time!

Boondocks
Is that show considered an anime?
For all intensive purposes I feel like it is. What would make it not an anime?
Art style? Check. Tropes? Check. Etc.
That it was not made in Japan. Anime are essentially Japanese cartoons. That’s it.
No, that is not an essential requirement. It has to be in the style of Japanese shows or movies. Not actually made in Japan. You would know this if you looked up the definition.
The art style is done by Studio Madhouse, a Japanese animation studio.
“Anime (Japanese: アニメ, IPA: [aɲime] (listen)) is hand-drawn and computer-generated animation originating from Japan. Outside Japan and in English, anime refers specifically to animation produced in Japan.[1]”

Why did you cut off the quote.
“However, in Japan and in Japanese, anime (a term derived from a shortening of the English word animation) describes all animated works, regardless of style or origin. Animation produced outside Japan with similar style to Japanese animation is commonly referred to as anime-influenced animation“
Okay, I thought that we were talking about anime with a perspective outside of Japan, but yeah, if we take a Japanese perspective then every animation is considered anime.
But in the second part that you quoted, if we take the perspective of the definition of anime outside of Japan then the Boondocks would be an anime-influenced cartoon, but not an anime itself.
Therefore, it depends on which geographical region definition we are using. However, unlike what you mentioned before, using Japanese style does not make a cartoon an anime , it makes it anime-influenced.
