This stinks >:(

Аниме is just japanese cartoons, but i think there is a large difference.

Аниме is Japanese animation,while Мультики are Western animation. They're the same. Except Аниме is Japanese and Мультики are Western.

i think of them as different. both words could be used interchangeably if one wanted to though, as they really mean the same thing. in Japan, "anime" is simply the word for animation, which would apply to Japanese Анимация as well as western cartoons. outside of Japan, "cartoon" could be used for both of these as well. but i prefer to use the connotations of Аниме = Japanese Анимация and cartoon = western animation.

as for whether Japanese Анимация and western Анимация are the same, no! for one thing, it's easy for an adult to be a Фан of anime, and yet think they're too old for cartoons. i'd prefer that they be judged separately. but for those not in the know, what are Ты going to do?

nice "angry" pic, btw.

that is soooo true, Аниме should never be mistaken for cartoon, I mean even if some Мультики look like animes I can still see the difference

besides the drawing between an Аниме and a cartoon r totally different

here is a cartoon

Мультики and Аниме are the same. Аниме is Japanese Cartoons.

I agree

Agreed.

Cartoon and Animes are different!

It angers me....

Мультики are еще childish and most of the times they are for laughter and enjoyment.
But Аниме covers large number of Genres like Fantasy, Sci-fi, Fighting, Romance, Slice of Life and much more! And it teaches us various things and its еще realistic! ^^
I Любовь Anime!!! <3

Uh guys =____=

Аниме ARE cartoons. Pretty much.
I mean "anime" is the Japanese for cartoon/animated Показать whatever, so that technically yes theyre the same.

Okay i need to explain it:

1. if u watch for ex: Inuyasha, Naruto,Clannad или whatever tell me are they Мультики and Аниме so of course its the same!

2. why so frustrated? while cant tell the difference of Аниме and cartoons? No, nodon't be bcuz Мультики sometimes are actually Аниме and Аниме sometimes have Мультики to.

3. Ex: Black Butler | what happens if u like sebastian или even Ciel-kun are they Мультики then they're also Аниме | Аниме - Мультики / Мультики - Аниме get it?.!

4. Tell me Ed ,Al ,Sebastian, Ciel, Nagisa ,Usui ,Yui,Ui ,Mio ,azusa, ritsu and so on they are Мультики right but PPL are saying they are Аниме but actually the Аниме are cartoons

5. Ok,Fine sometimes Аниме are real like but ex: Дисней channel they are Мультики right? but ex: Зачарованная they are real like right? so its the same thing as Аниме and Мультики also do Ты understand Mino1234????

6.So Аниме is Japanese animation.

BUT READ THIS!:
7. But exactly your right sometimes they are not the same

okay my explanation is done.
(PS: just wanted to post Sebastian with a cat.)

For me, Анимация is animation; however, the styles it can be done in vary infinitely. Аниме is a type of cartoon, with only the cultural background causing a difference in how it's done and made. Western Анимация is another style of cartoon. There are good and bad versions of both, and are the Мультики of the culture.

It's really just the same word in a different language; why else would people define "anime" as "Japanese cartoons" when trying to explain it to others?

Аниме is cartoons. Just Japanese cartoons. Аниме is a type of Анимация and they are described as Japanese Мультики when defining the term so yea they are Мультики and anyone who thinks otherwise is not thinking about this logically in any matter that is good. People like to separate Аниме from Мультики and other types of Анимация but they are in fact Japanese cartoons. End of story. If Ты try to tell me otherwise I will conclude Ты are being delusional and cannot be reason with. Others have stated the same thing and btw if Ты get that upset over such a trivial thing Ты really need to chill out.
