"American anime". This is wrong. Anime=japanese animation.

Anime is not a style, it can't be a style, there's no way to make a clear definition of that "style". Each decade has its own, and it changes every year. If big bug eyes, tiny noses, extravagant hairstyles and kawaii uguu~ faces = anime style, then congratulations, avatar, wakfu and RWBY are anime, while obvious classics like Astroboy, Heidi, Anne of green gables, Ashita no Joe, Shin-chan, Doraemon and recent series like Ping Pong and Aku no Hana are not. It's stupid as it sounds, and arrogant and embarrassing too.

And "but in Japan animation=anime" it's not a good argument. Because then tom & jerry, south park and frozen are anime too. There's no need of the word anime at all, then, unless you're a weeaboo who calls his mother "okasan" and his cat "neko".

Honestly the whole thing reeks of fanboyism and some sort of need for validation. If you guys are taking this seriously it should be changed. Animesque and anime-influenced animation are more appropiate terms. If not, have fun I guess.
