What about Castlevania, RWBY and Chinese animes?

Castlevania was animated by Frederator studios in American. Also, the original dub is in English. So, not an anime.

RWBY was created by Monty Oum (press F to pay respects) in America before it was picked up by RoosterTeeth (also in America). The original dub is in English so it's not an anime. However, it does have a manga, meaning it would be fair game for discussion in anime circles.

Chinese anime are just that: Chinese anime. Nobody talks about anime and thinks about a Chinese one.

However, I believe that they are part of the family, along with South Korean animation, Hong Kong animation, manhua, manhwa, webtoons and the like. Simply because, if they can't be discussed in anime circles, where would they be discussed? Western animation, on the other hand have plenty of spaces for discussion so I don't see why anime spaces have to be one of them.

If you've got too much happiness in your life and need a little bit of depression.
I would recommend Oyasumi punpun (goodnight punpun). A beautifully drawn manga with a well written story.
This thing left me feeling empty and depressed for three days after finishing it. One of the most relatable characters and realest world I've ever read. Drama and romance were never my thing and still aren't only God knows why I continued reading this, but Damn that art looks good.
I wonder if this will ever get an anime adaptation.

Reeeeeee. I downloaded all the chapters off Anidl on a whim one day, just waiting for the holidays to read it. Would it really crush my soul or is it all hype?

The location argument doesn't really stand these days. Anime doesn't have to be made in Japan or by a Japanese company or have initial Japanese VA to be considered anime. Castlevania is anime without argument. This is the first time I'm seeing anyone imply that Castlevania isn't anime.

How Is Castlevania an anime? What is your definition of anime?

How Is Castlevania an anime? What is your definition of anime?

Any animated work that follows the template and/or art style pioneered by Japanese studios.
Castlevania fits perfectly in this category

By that logic, is Totally Spies an anime?

Is Ping-Pong the animation an anime?

Is Big O an anime?

What about Panty and Stocking?

Or Pop Team Epic?

more of "what am i doing with my life and living for?" And "this world is unforgiving" at least from my experience, but i kinda enjoyed the bittersweet story.

Yep. They all are. Totally Spies is actually the only one up for debate. The rest are irrefutably anime.

Avatar qualifies as anime. So name another to replace it.

What?

But Panty and Stocking for example, doesn't use the anime art style that Japanese studios are known for.

I don't know. It looks anime-esque to me, though.

No avatar was made by an American company and it's English based on chinese

Even anime for children like Bakugan shi1ts on Generator Rex. What's next? Ben 10? You're not even listing animated shows I was expecting

Bakugan was amazing I agree it's better
But What about megas xlr and symbiotic titans
Batman:brave and bold
Teen Titans

Manga shield bro is best naufumi.
The anime makes naufumi too soft.

Imagine Naofumi begging for their help in the last episode


Naofumi went form angry badass to panzy


No wonder the likes of Tanjiro has left Naofumi waay behind in the rankings

They took a break from the intensity this week...

comedic episode this week

I thought you'll be coming up with mature animated shows like South Park, Family Guy, The Simpsons and The Bondoocks. Just look at the childish nonsensical nonsenses you're listing. You don't understand the first thing about anime. Senkei Senbonzakura Kageyoshi fall on you. Death by a thousand cuts.

Not only Naufumi, Raphtalia was supposed to stab the sh*t out of that fat noble and throw him out of the window, instead they did the classic "If I kill, I'm worse than the bad guy"

Ok then, everything you mentioned is dope and all especially south park and family guy but you forgot American Dad, futurama, rick and Morty, robot chicken, Mr pickles, bojack horseman, king of the hill, brickle Berry and many more, how bout we make a group about these adult cartoons

So true but where are you in the manga I stopped at the giant turtle and where they thought the other heroes died but haven't found their bodies yet

Kaycee7:
The art and animation style.

Avatar may have been influenced by anime, but it's not one.
