anime, technically.

@Lazman Technically, anime is a form of cartoon — the word ‘anime’ just comes from the Japanese pronunciation of ‘animation.’ In English, ‘cartoon’ and ‘anime’ both describe animated works, calling it a cartoon isn’t wrong — it’s just the broader term. :) we all learn something new everyday x

@wakko20233 Well, I technically knew that already. But there is a difference, and it's in the style. Although, many modern cartoons are taking on a more anime-type style. \

But, for example, no one would ever refer to Family Guy, as an 'anime', lol.

@Lazman ah I see you already knew perfect im glad we have come to this understanding x. lol yes many would and do say family guy is an anime. example in Japan, a show like Family Guy would be considered a type of アニメ (animation/cartoon). The full Japanese word for animation is アニメーション (animēshon), but the shortened version, anime, is very common. Its usually just the Americans who would say アニメ Anime is just Japanese. sadly the American English is starting to spread thanks to the internet been so common now adays. sad times sad times x.
