I watch all anime because I have to, you watch specific anime because you choose to. So only one of us likes tentacles, and it’s not me.

The truth is I have never even seen a tentacle-related anime yet. So between the two us, I guess it must be you. Anyway, I think I want to try to watch some. Can you give me any good suggestions?

As I said, the only clear definition of anime is: animated film or series originally made in Japanese language. It eliminates the potential for pointless arguments about style and nationality of creators. In the first case, it eliminates completely subjective perception of style. In the second case, it eliminates American cartoons that happen to be animated by a Japanese studio.

Anyway, in Japanese “anime” means any kind of animated series/film.

I wasn’t aware that Transformers The Movie was so important.

It’s very important, because it’s an anime.

Anime is an animated film/series that is originally made in Japanese language. That thing clearly does not pass the main condition.


A Google search said:

an·i·me
ˈanəˌmā/
noun
noun: anime
a style of Japanese film and television animation, typically aimed at adults as well as children.

Wikipedia says:

Anime (Japanese: アニメ) is Japanese hand-drawn or computer animation.

The Transformers along with its continuation, The Transformers: The Movie, was animated by Toei, a Japanese animation studio, and both look like any reasonably well animated anime from the 1980s.

Seems to me that it fits the criteria for being an anime pretty well.

I would say that being written for the English language originally doesn’t really hold much on the matter, especially considering that a Japanese dub was produced simultaneously, IIRC.

Wikipedia disagrees with you:
The Transformers: The Movie is a 1986 American animated science fiction action adventure film

As for the definition, there is actually no ground-truth definition for anime. The one provided by Google search is indeed very common, however it also very unclear and subjective (especially with the “style” crap). On the other hand, my definition is objective and makes a clear distinction.

You sure do love to practise speaking broken english.

High-class English might seem a bit unnatural to a peasant. Seeing how you did not capitalise “English”, it is obvious that even the basics are unnatural to you.

Using decimals is pointless and stupid. If you want more resolution, use a scale with range 100. It saves you typing pointless dots.

The 0 - 100 system disgusts me.

Then why are you using it?

I don’t use that shit. I use the 0 - 10 system with decimals.

…which is a 0-100 system.

10 and 100 are not the same number so unless they happen to merge at some point in time you’re wrong.

It is about time you stop embarrassing yourself. Ranking system is about the range and relative difference between each score. The system is the same if it has the same range, whether you count with some numbers, other numbers, stars, portion of cake, length of penis, or whatever.
