By definition, Kuroshitsuji is both an anime and a cartoon. Maybe people don't agree with Kuro ( and all anime) being both an anime and a cartoon, but that doesn't and will never change the fact that they are. Its not a debate its a fact! And Im pretty frustrated with anybody who wants to ignore the fact and say that it is not.
" All anime are cartoons but not all cartoons are anime". Fact!
I feel that needs to be in size 72 brightly colored glitter font.

I still believe that Japan is the animation capital of the world. Large quantity of good and entertaining animation, with some great gems of animated feature films, too (like Miyazaki works). And I like that anime has everything from the edgy and the gar animations to the moe, fanservice, and ecchi animations.

Anime ARE cartoons. This is a fact and not up for debate. The fact that its drawn, colored and animated pretty much makes anybody that says different sound like an idiot, Sorry to break the facts to you but anime is NOT its own thing. Kuroshitsuji DES count as an animated cartoon whether you or any other uneducated anime fan like it or not!
Do you all REALLY think Kuro can't be classed as an animated cartoon because its not American animation. What is everybody's problem that they can't accept the facts? Do you add weight to being an otaku? Do you fall for the propaganda? Look up the definition of an animated cartoon and realize its laughable to claim Kuro ( or any other anime for that matter) is not. The ones who think Kuroshitsuji or any other anime can't be classed as an animated cartoon are out in left field. ANYTHING animated can be classed as a cartoon. ( Anime is a shortened form of " animation" for ***k's sake!) " All anime are cartoons but not all cartoons are anime". Fact! Geez people are uneducated.

Still, my “otaku-ish” side recognize anime as: any animation series/movies which story/script made by Japanese writers  . |
The first sentence of that really needs to be in size 72 rainbow font with a shine effect added to it.
Its not a "age old debate". Its a fact
