Oh hey guys.
Lets have a small Japanese lesson.
アニメ is an imported and shortened word for Animation. It refers to animation in general, not just Japanese animation. We say cartoons, they say anime. Obviously, you all know that a cartoon doesn't necessarily mean an American cartoon.
日本のアニメ or 'Nihon no Anime" means Japanese Animation. This is used to refer to the anime you all love so much.
There can be American Anime and Korean Anime and so on; However the word is usually associated with Japan.
Any cartoon in America, regardless if it's 'anime' style or not can be refered to as anime, or アメリカのアニメ （American Animation)
Yes, you just literally got schooled.
