Whut? Anime = cartoon in japanese.
Anime is a japanese cartoon.
Actually,this kind of argument is very common between anime fans and people who don't watch anime,because the american cartoons (or any other type of cartoon) are often very childish and usually without any message or strong meaning in it.
Anime,the japanese cartoon,put a strong focus on the emotions,the feelings of the viewer and the deep message/meaning in the anime. Anime also usually aims more for teen-agers and adults as it's audience.
So..,when you say anime is a cartoon,anime fans might think you mean to a childish,american type cartoons.
And say this to you as a big anime fan!
I hope i made it clear for you guys
