Are Anime and Cartoons really different?

This is a debate that's still seen literally everywhere especially on social media. I myself have gotten into this argument severally but I have taken my time to dwell on it and realise that Anime and Cartoons or animations are in fact the same thing.

To start things off,what is an anime? Well according to pooled definitions,it is "Japanese inspired animation" that alone should tell you that the only difference is the art style and that's even archaic because nowadays western animated shows use that same style that is meant to be "Japanese" example are the avatar shows,voltron and many more.

Even Google knows what's up

I can already sense the annoyance in otakus(anime die-hards) reading this and saying to themselves "you're wrong,they are two totally different things" and my question to you is "how?,how,exactly are they different"?.

I remember last year I was arguing with a guy who said legend of korra was anime. I argued to aggressively you'd think I was being paid. But now that I actually sit back and think about it,shows like The Legend Of Korra, Neo Yokio(I still hate you) and Voltron are still anime.

They're obviously inspired by anime art style and they share similarly story lines...for instance neo yokio is simple yet very bizzare...this can be said for most anime you find and that includes the ones that don't even involve powers.

For real though,we always say anime and normal animated projects are different but realistically they're not. Some might argue that anime deal with mature themes but they're a lot of animated projects like bojack horseman,rick and Morty and legends of chamberlain heights that are also very mature so what's the point?.

I guess you could say things are greatly exaggerated in anime and I'd call regular show for you. The debate would be infinite because truly there really is no difference between the two of them. They are both animated with storylines with rich characters and plot twists! and they can also both be bad..especially when it comes to endings.

With that being said, if you agree or disagree please be kind enough and air your opinion and also which do you like more conventional animations or anime?

Severance: An Unforgettable Thriller

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you didn't remember the stress of your workplace when you get home? From the mind of Dan Erickson, directed by Ben Stiller and Aoife McArdle, Severance offers an answer to the aforementioned question and pushes the limit by asking " when your consciousness is spilt into two, which one is the real you? " The series follows a severed employee at Lumon, Mark who has recently been promoted to the Head of Microdata and Refinement Department after the sudden resignation of his boss and the recruitment of a new employee, Helly Riggs. Plot Severance has a unique plot, while the execution of a series without a definite blueprint can prove difficult, it does not fall into this hole. The series answers (almost)all the questions it poses in the first few episodes but ends on a note that will leave you spiraling and brimming with inquisitiveness. Characters For every character, we follow two distinct ...

KOE NO KATACHI: A REVIEW?

Koe no Katachi (A Silent Voice) is a 2016 Japanese [obviously] animated film written by Reiko Yoshida and directed by Naoko Yamada. The film is based on the manga of the same name, written by the great Yoshitoki Ōima. I just want to talk type about this beautiful anime; don't think of this as some sort of review. P.S.: Little spoilers here and there. It starts off with Ishida - who'd later be the main male character - trying to commit suicide. And may I say... the musical build-up to the point where he is to jump off the bridge... SUBARASHI! It's utterly gorgeous [for the lack of a befitting word]. It's not over done with sad sounds or large synths. It's almost inaudible, gentle; it's the kind of music that would play in the head of a sad or depressed person. And it is explained in detail - his dilemma. The movie's title makes sense because of Nishimiya. She's deaf. In middle school, she's a victim of bullying from her classmates in form of ignor...

IT(2017):Lazy Review

I've been stuck thinking about what to post and I got nothing. But I remembered that I watched "IT" late December and I wasn't scared surprisingly. I mean,they were a couple of jump scares but overall nothing really scared me. It was a fun movie though and I see why it got a sequel announced and universal praise. It's based of the first chapter of the Stephen King novel of the same name and I have read a couple of pages from the book but I haven't finished it because I'm lazy and I procrastinate a lot(I haven't still finished reading a song of ice and fire). Set in the '90-somethings(I'm lazy don't eat me) in a town of something,something(I know,you're disappointed) a series of kids get missing and the adults of the town act like nothing's happening. Bill Denbrough(that's right,I remembered his name) looses his brother as well. Billy and other kids in the town(including his friends) start to see th...
