>>230432 While there is a difference between each countries style of animation, "cartoon" is the word commonly used in America and parts of Europe that is equated with basically all forms of hand drawn frame animation, or even CG that resembles frame animation.
As you may fail to understand, in Japan the term "anime" simply encompasses all forms of animation coming from Japan, the vast majority of which foreigners would give the western appropriate title of "anime" to. Animation created with the disctinct "anime" style, finding its roots in the art of such patriarchs of the industry as Tezuka and the style of animation found in Toei and Mushi Production studios, is not necessarily segregated from other types of Japanese animation but the difference has become well known.
In conclusion, the word "cartoon" and the word "anime" fundamentally descibe the same thing, however each carries with it both negative and positive connotations ( ie: cartoons seen as soley childrens entertainment and anime seen as wided-eyed teens fighting octopii). Now if you were to ask for us, the humble anonymous, to learn the difference between American animation and Japanese animation, that is a task that could be done. Just because you prefer one over the other, and i admit i do aswell, does not mean that one is better than the other. You'll learn that after you pass high school.
