Ah. This again.

I'd call it one because to me, place of origin is an insufficient argument. A Gedankenexperiment: suppose there was a series made in an inarguably Japanese style, using tropes found in anime, and very much inspired by anime. If it were made in Japan, is it an anime? If it were made in the US, is it an anime? The content would remain the same. Suppose it were originally made in Japan, then production moves overseas, and the staff is Ship of Theseus'd? Does it suddenly cease to be an anime?
