the original term of "anime" in Japan refers to any form of animation. When people started noticing Japanese cartoons' unique artstyle thats when people called it "anime". The term used outside of Japan usually refers to the arstyle nad not where the "anime" was made in. So it depends on what term of "anime" you're using.
