Japanimation

I like how you keep saying that as if it’s gonna hide the terribleness of anime or something.

I just like the term.

I’ve begun to dislike using the term “anime” because it makes me feel like I’m more associated with weeaboos who see anime (and other forms of Japanese media) religiously. The people who freak out if you call an “anime” a cartoon, or call a “manga” a comic book. Crazy weirdos. I simply enjoy some television shows, films, and comic books that happen to be of Japanese origin.

And don’t get me wrong the other way either. I do like some things about Japan aside from the media side of things; the Japanese language, for instance. It’s probably the only language I actually have an interest in learning about; but due to the lack of a class for it at my high school, I’m forced to go to next best: German.

So I guess you’re kind of on the right track, only I’m trying to help clarify my own opinions, rather than hide the nonexistent complete terribleness of all Japanese animation.
