Anime definition (uploading)
vigo:
If you guys combined both your posts together it defines exactly what I'm talking about :)
Aeon flux is not anime because it was created by koreans in America. But The Transformers movie is because it was created by Japanese in America? :-\
And I did the searches on ANN and wikipedia this morning. ANN lists it, and Wikipedia simply lists the U.S. for ocuntry of origin. I just found this link a minute ago: http://www.absoluteanime.com/transformers/index.htm
I find the topic interesting but I still can't consider The Movie anime. Bottom line is that the country of origin was America and it was produced for an American audience (why it didn't come out in japan for 3 years).

Since you been mentioning wikipedia, read the categories for Aeon Flux at the bottom of the page. Is it anime? The closest thing you can get is anime-influenced. Wikipedia doesn't classify it as anime. Check transformers's categories. Does it include anime? Yes.
No one is forcing you to classify the movie as anime.

you should read your own sources :P - i don't know how you come to the conclusion they swiftly imported those Japanese animators to America.
"It is a cartoon produced in the US. However, it was animated and shown in Japan"
transformers is indeed borderline anime as the producers (music, storyboard) are based in America and it was produced for an American audience. On the other hand it is based on a Japanese Toyline, was animated in Japan and has received a big Japanese audience. Thus it was allowed. Nothing of that sort can be said about Æon Flux.

Its also categorized as an American animation ;)
So its certainly not clear. And for further confusion...
So do we have to accept thundercats and silverhawks are anime? Both found on ANN.
Here's thundercats: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=3898
If I offer up thundercats will it get approved? I certainly don't think its anime, but I want to know what's accepted. By all arguments made Thundercats would be acceptable anime, and Aeon Flux would not. No?
Personally I think its silly, but at least it would conform to a standard. So can we get a ruling on that?
Thundercats and Transformers the Movie = yes. Aeon Flux = no.
???
Sosseres:
Thundercats was removed from AniDB since it was never for the Japanese market.
Which transformers can be argued to be. Even if the US had first release that could have been due to any number of reasons, most likely a contract.
