Anime is a literally just the word Animation that has been converted into Japanese Katakana (Anmeshon) and then shortened. It is incredibly limited to say that anime has to be produced in Japan to be Anime considering the fact that they outsource a ton of work to China. It is also silly to say that RWBY is not anime because it is computer generated. The majority of modern anime is done with computers nowadays. So honestly, Anime is really just a style of animation regardless of origin or method of creation.
