DarkFather said:You're smart enough to concede any point that doesn't compromise your stance in any way. As in, you conceding that Avatar is anime in the sense that it's "animation", while knowing full well I was referring to it as a certain Japanese style of animation. And heck, if you can't see the striking similarities between the art of Dragonball Z and Cowboy Bebop, I can't make you.
Sigh, please stop acting like I'm attacking you. I really hope you're not mad at me. That's certainly not what I'm going for. I mean, yes, obviously there's only so much I can concede based on what you're giving me. I'm certainly somewhat drawn to my stance, and I have given a certain amount of evidence and reasoning to back it up. That's really all I can do until you provide me an outside source that credits a definition of "anime" as solely referring to a style of animation. I'm sorry. And I'm not trying to be condescending. If this debate is going to affect our forum friendship, I will gladly stop talking about it entirely. It's certainly not worth it because you're a great guy.
