Anime, as far as most easterner are concerned is an animated show…as far as they care, Johnny Bravo, Looney tunes and Justice League are anime…so in this case the answer is yes.

Anime, as far as some westerners are concerned is a show that was produced either in or by a large cast of easterners… so that’s a no.

Anime, as far as long time watchers are concerned is any show that fills their “animesque” bar up until a point, and I’m reasonably sure for most of them Rwby would receive a yes.

Anime, as far as…certain individuals are concerned is a catch 22 for good shows that can only come from the east…they would rather call a good western show an anime then admit it was a good show not produced in Japan…and I won’t dignify them with a response.

Anime, as far as I’m concerned is a word I wish I could erase from my vocabulary. If a show is animated, I’ll call it an animation or an animated show and leave it at that, because at the end of the day, I really don’t care whether people think it's an anime or not, since it has little or no effect on the quality OR my enjoyment of said show.
