The argument over whether anime can come from anywhere but Japan (Korea is a new one, never heard that part) is pretty much done to death at this point.

The quesstion is; Anime originated in Japan as a variation on the English word Animation; if the region that it qualifies as has expanded to include Korea, why can't it include other place? Why not the rest of Asia, like China, which is culturally (and geographically) much closer to Japan?

If you do feel so strongly about this, feel free to discuss it in the comments on the page.
