Take two: Anim� in French just means "animated."

Dessin anim� (literally meaning "animated drawing") is the term that would be translated as "animation" in that sense, altough animation is also a French word.

I have no idea if anime comes from that French root, though.

Ugh. POS...

You know the sad thing is I can't think of a way to properly express irritation at the multiple, seemingly random, images posts without myself biting your style and image posting. Touche'.

I know this is kind of anal, but in the issue about what to call serious American animation, inspired by anime or no, there's really no word for it. It's just not what American animation is known for.

You're one of those people who calls his titties and swearingcomic books "Graphic novels" even when they get released by the month and are twenty two pages long, aren't you?

I wish POS would stop replying with pictures, not because it isn't funny, but because you guys just completely and utterly fail to comprehend the message of the image.
