    Okay, I thought that we were talking about anime with a perspective outside of Japan, but yeah, if we take a Japanese perspective then every animation is considered anime.

    But in the second part that you quoted, if we take the perspective of the definition of anime outside of Japan then the Boondocks would be an anime-influenced cartoon, but not an anime itself.

    Therefore, it depends on which geographical region definition we are using. However, unlike what you mentioned before, using Japanese style does not make a cartoon an anime , it makes it anime-influenced.
