@@SwordGuy17 The term might be making a comeback, but LOOOONG ago (like, the 1970's and '80's) before the term 'anime' was in the common lexicon, you'd hear it a lot.

But indeed, I only watch crunchyroll videos when he's the one on the screen. Plus, you just learn so much and he makes it interesting. Everything you see garnishes his story-telling.
@@reedabrat1165 Anime just means animation in Japan. And everything you see from Boruto and Attack on Titan is a cartoon. Boondocks is a cartoon. Only the West refers to the word 'Anime' as if it's strictly Japanese. That's just how you say animation in that country. That's why they call everything Anime there from Dragon Ball Super to Bambi and SpongeBob.

Hi there, I really enjoyed the video, real quick though - Transformers was put together from two different Japanese toy series, not one. Only the robots which turned into household objects were from Microman’s Micro Change line, the vehicles were from a toy line called “Diaclone”, which was also made by Takara.
The classification of anime gets even more muddied when there are western made shows like Korra that need big help from japanese studio like Pierott. Or even the Shelter music video, which was created by a western man but made at A1-pictures. At this point, anime has become more of a style than just shows from Japan.
I disagree. Thundercats the original one was animated fully in Japan in anime style. But it's writers were American and people just called it a cartoon. I feel like anime isn't just an art style but a way of thinking expressed in media. Japanese ideas culture and mindset brings that kind of diversity to the table like American cartoons do which is why they are so appealing to begin with. When some of their ideas fuse togethe is great but I feel it important to not diminish the creative forces importance
@@MrInuhanyou123 Then, thundercats would just be called an anime or anime styled cartoon. Back then, thundercats was seen as an American shows. So, people just called it a cartoon. If we go by your definition of what anime is, then something like Steven Universe or Avatar is an anime. You could say that now, the style of a show on top of how it presents its themes and where it was mainly created determines its classification.
@@goldmemberpb I don't get your argument. You say if we go by my definition Steven universe or avatar is anime but I just said by definition of anime is series written and fully created by japanese for that market because anime is not an artstyle but a creative mindset. So Steven universe and avatar would not be apart of that definition The new Castlevania series was done by the studio who did Steven universe in Texas and it imitates the anime style based on the original illustrations but the series would be 100% different if created by japanese. That is what separates anime from anime inspired. Rather than the surface level aspects it's what the creative teams bring to project. Panty and stocking heavily is inspired by western cartoons style like invader Zim, but it is definitely not considered a cartoon because no cartoon would be structured in such a way.
I love Tim idk if it's just the vibe of this cool dude talking about anime in like EXTREME detail (ie that crazy long Eva timeline video) or if its just fact he's funny to me, idk but i've binged every single one of the videos he's been in at least twice so keep em comming.
I mean mad max inspired Hokuto no Ken Mashle is inspired by Harry Potter & one punch man. Dirty pair,Crusher Joe bubblegum crisis are inspired by blade runner,star wars etc
To be fair: While I definitely think the look, vibe, & animation style of the 90's X-Men cartoon was influenced by early anime the more plot-focused, "anime-esque" storyline was something Chris Clairemont had started doing with X-Men comics back in the 70's. According to him, he saw it as daytime TV soap operas only with superhumans.
Despite Teen Titans not being animated overseas in Japan, the show could have been designed by a few Japanese anime artists because some characters in the show look like anime characters. After all, the show was created by a Japanese person.
@@AniGamerNX it was less that it was violent and more that Korra was appealing to an older age range than they wanted/expected. Since Nick was primarily focused on advertising to younger audiences, the decision was made to move it to inconvenient time slots and eventually online only since they already ordered S3 and 4 and couldn’t justify cancelling it (and didn’t want to upset the creators since their work had won them several prestigious awards). It’s unfortunate because I think if Nick had made an attempt to appeal to teens and older with an adult swim style nighttime block it could have been really successful. Thankfully the series’ popularity on Netflix has had Paramount give Bryke their own studio to make things so maybe it could become even bigger.
@@foodplsOld yeah but with Avatar, not Korra, they canceled it because they made the live action movie, thought it was going to be bigger and start a series so they hoped they could do the movies and stop the show, biggest mistake ever, Korra was destined to fail since it was pushing boundaries on such a low risk network, Avatar was aimed at younger audiences even with its mature themes, could've gone on for at least another two seasons smh
If you asked me 'why can't anime just be its own thing?' I would say 'at this point, *IS* it really its own thing anymore?' At this point the line between American and Japanese animation has blurred to the point that you almost can't tell them apart anymore. Even Disney has been influenced by anime since the 80's. If you look at Cinderella and Aurora in their original films they look more like something from the Fleischer cartoons but Jasmine and Belle are closer to an anime character and then Elsa and Moana have went even further.
Once again the highest video production quality of anime/Japanese/asian culture om youtube and probably in all media. I just have one thing that I think would make the videos better. In your video it would be nice to have dates on all the different media being talked about. It would make it easier to follow if dates of realise was present next to name of the spoken media. I'm my mind it is hard to follow the narrative if it's only spoken as "this was released before that" with no written year connected to what ever is talked about. Anyway great stuff Crunchyroll! Love the vids, keep this stuff coming 🙂
There needs to be a name for this new hybrid style made by Westerners who grew up watching anime. You can’t call it “anime” without someone freaking out cause it’s not from Japan, but “cartoon” doesn’t fully describe shows like Castlevania, Avatar, or even She-RA well enough to me. Yeah they’re cartoons as far as medium but finding a word to distinguish these hybrid “cartoons” with pretty adult philosophical themes from stereotypical cartoons would be cool.
But they are cartoons lol it's not freaking out words have meanings and anime means a Japanese animation out of Japan. It's easy in the western world just call it cartoons in places like the Philippines with Trese just call it a philipino animation not hard.
@@philo2189 yes words have meanings. That’s my point. Cartoon is too broad a word. It’s reductive. Technically anime is ALSO a cartoon but we don’t call it that to highlight the country of origin (or more realistically) the style it’s done in. I can’t speak for you but I care more about a style and its tropes than JUST the country of origin. Like yeah they’re cartoons, but when I think of cartoons I think of Family Guy or Ducktales. Not Castlevania or Avatar. I want a more specific word to distinguish them from each other and highlight the non-western influences of these new shows.

@@RoseEyed bro you know you're wrong right? Cartoon is not too broad of a word that's literally what we call animated shows in America.

Should also take a look at how Bruce Lee and his films influenced modern (within the last 50 years) anime/manga, in addition to many other forms of entertainment.
On the special features of the Teen Titans DVD they specifically call the animation "Americanime". Even though it sounds a bit off, i think it's pretty well suited for these shows. Most of all, they it shows how proud they are of their anime roots and influences.
Very interesting! It’s no wonder I’m growing to Love Japanese influenced animation and anime these days, and my old favorite tv shows are a part of it.
Do the Western influence video! I wanna learn! Also, don't make me choose. I just love animation! I just wish we could get a DVD or Blu Ray box set of Jackie Chan Adventures.
i think some of this "fact" is more speculation . To say X-Men had an "anime storyline" is such a stretch. X-Men:tas had a true to comics storyline, with an adjusted tone to make it kid friendly.
Actually, factually speaking, Walt Disney, Betty Boop, Popeye, and several others, influenced all of Japanese cartoons and animation. So the West in reality influenced itself. Japanese comic books and Anime (Anime, I.e. Animation, as it's known in Japan which refers to everything animated like Minions and Disney films, for example, not just animation originating from there) in Japan did not get its iconic eyes from Japan itself, those directly from the things I listed, especially Walt Disney's work. Only today has Japanese animation and comic book art turned into in a way, its own art style. Not in a way that's unique but in a way that it can have its own little identity although still being what it has always been since its key influences which is Disney and everything else I listed. It's why Disney world in Japan isn't necessarily Japanese. It's just Disney.
all cartoons are,by definition anime (anime legit means animation. not JAPANESE animation: just animation). americans might SAY only cartoons made in japan are anime,but americans also say that otaku are anime nerds when it actually means a nerd of any kind. you can say anime to refer to cartoons made in japan,but that's only to make it easier when talking to people even if the definition is wrong.
@@JT5555 no anime is regarded as japanese anime don’t try to make them the same must be pretty disrespectful to anime makers when you can’t even get the genre right
There's something special about Japanese original anime, but I think that western series which are done in an Eastern style are anime in my view. A style and an art have an origin, but if they're good they'll eventually be practiced outside of their country of origin. There is pizza made in the United States, it's a little different than the original Italian pizza, but we wouldn't sit around saying "Yeah it looks and tastes like pizza, but it wasn't made it Italy so I'll call it.... western dough and sauce."
says who, you anime elitist? lol that's such a shallow and narrow minded way of thinking. Boondocks, Avatar, and Teen Titans are all anime feel free to cry about it
@@impacc4182 Yea but they actually arent though. Im not an elitist, you are just wrong. Thats like if i called Days of our lives a spanish Telenovela. The word Anime legit means "Japanese Animation" its not an opinion.
Even the design of Craig McCracken's The Powerpuff Girls from 1998 (and their rebooted counterparts from 2016) are influenced by the simple design of Sanrio's Hello Kitty anime.
This was a great video. I do have to say though... timestamp 10:10 seems like an odd shot to share, when that seemed...kinda influenced by Yellow Submarine. Not anime XD But that's just me being a turd. Carry on. This was a fantastic video :3 Buuuuut, no mention of Steven Universe here...? Edit: Yes! please do a video on Kurosawa!!!! That would be amazing! I've waited to long to post XD
Invincible is a good effort, with adult situations and a really complex backstory. The hard part is its reliance on a few basic conflicts and its "unkillable" central figure. The Oedipal tension is the overriding meme. The vulnerability of side characters is powerful, but, like with war, is quickly buried in the plot breadth, complexity, and pace.
@@ericstanford8153 Thanks i am well aware of that. My point was to illustrate it's animated version made think of the super hero society in one punch is all.
Esp Teen Titans because they had songs from Puffy Ami Yumi on the show with their amazing songs in Japanese I used to download the songs on youtube to listen to them like the song from the mad mod chase
There need to be more animes from other countries other than Japan. I Hope here in Brazil, they start making more anime-designed cartoons or even movies inspired in anime.

I broke up with Teen Titans and The Boondocks for now because I've seen those shows like a hundred times, during my teenage years and 20s.
i think Sonic satam looks like a anime ps cat valentine
13:32 Watch the Queen's Gambit, it is very like a live action anime it even has twins LOL
This man deserves a raise.
This also applies to the french industry , wakfu code lyoko foot2rue ect ect
Ok. Why aren't people talking about made in abyss?
What Western show took inspiration from that anime?
Even the design of Craig McCracken's The Powerpuff Girls from 1998 (and their rebooted counterparts from 2016) are influenced by the simple design of Sanrio's Hello Kitty anime.
Tim plz do a video on Inuyasha love your retrospect and timelines videos💖👍🔥
This was a great video.
I do have to say though... timestamp 10:10 seems like an odd shot to share, when that seemed...kinda influenced by Yellow Submarine. Not anime XD But that's just me being a turd. Carry on. This was a fantastic video :3 Buuuuut, no mention of Steven Universe here...?
Edit: Yes! please do a video on Kurosawa!!!! That would be amazing! I've waited to long to post XD
missed you Tim
I don't know who this guy is, but he needs to be here more because she's awesome and funny as hell
this wone has the best cringe humor yet! the avatar part had me rolling :'D
Love 💕 yourself first and most
Don't give up and never give in
To be fair, the monster in the Japanese opening of X-Men are Brood who are from the comics
Has anyone read or seen "Invincible" ? I think there are some one punch man vibes there.
Invincible is a good effort, with adult situations and a really complex backstory. The hard part is its reliance on a few basic conflicts and its "unkillable" central figure. The Oedipal tension is the overriding meme. The vulnerability of side characters is powerful, but, like with war, is quickly buried in the plot breadth, complexity, and pace.
The Invincible comic came out before the OPM webcomic.
@@ericstanford8153 Thanks i am well aware of that. My point was to illustrate it's animated version made think of the super hero society in one punch is all.
Yes please do the reverse. You can do an episode on how the anime industry as a whole is based on Disney.
Glad they brought up boondocks people don’t usually bring it up in this topic
What about Kappa Mikey?
I typed Soriario Days on the search bar and this appeared.
I remember watching samurai jack when I was like 4,and 5
Missed oppurtunity for Animerican. Even if its groan inducing, it fits.
Esp Teen Titans because they had songs from Puffy Ami Yumi on the show with their amazing songs in Japanese I used to download the songs on youtube to listen to them like the song from the mad mod chase
I would definitely love a video of U.S. and Japanese cinema and film inspirations
Some people in the US dont even know what anime mean. While in Japan literally everyone does lol
yes I would love to watch about cartoon inspired anime!
Are some shows region blocked? Like where do I even watch Avatar the last airbender, it's not in crunchyroll for me.
I thought I only got into anime a couple years ago, turns out I've been watching anime my whole life
I love Teen Titans when I was kid.
Crunchyroll: "Why not watch onyx equinox?"
Me: Because it has horrible animation and a story that's all over the place? (also it has an M-rating)
Believe in yourself 🙏🤗
i wouldn't call 3 anime-looking cartoons as completely changing the western animation.
Filthy Frank is my favorite anime
that's a damn cool strawhat ya got there bud 🏴☠🏴☠🏴☠
I 💟 this channel
Take control of your own destiny
I got my subscription ,had it for years when are we getting funimation back to vrv?
I’m fine with connotations
I think there were also a lot of cartoons here inspired by sailor moon. Not just the super hero and mech ones.
There need to be more animes from other countries other than Japan. I Hope here in Brazil, they start making more anime-designed cartoons or even movies inspired in anime.
they have some Chinese and Korean anime but not sure about Brazil
If it's in another country it's not considered an anime
@@sagemaster1357 that's Chinese animation and Korean animation. Something can't be considered proper anime if it's outside Japan.
@@philo2189 oh ok
@@sagemaster1357 ok
How about Animerican?
Even Transformers and X-amen influenced by anime? WOW!
what about TMNT 2003 tv show???
Sorry But A Second Comment :
I’m Old So It Was Saturday Morning
Cartoons: But Now I Love All Things Anime
