The anime company Madhouse will produce the second season of the American cartoon "The Boondocks." Does that mean that it is now technically an anime?

I [expletive] love Boondocks! That show is hilarious. Especially the episode about the guy whos afraid of getting raped in prison "Come on, lets steal something." "No way, if we get caught then we'll get anally raped!" Classic lines abound in that show.
Any clue as to when its coming out? Or a link to some first hand info? |

That's like ADV releasing the Darkstalkers cartoon on DVD. Is it being made over here? Cause if it is, the answer is NO. |

well season 1 was animated IN korea, so I assume no it's not being made here if the company is based in Japan. |

The shows source material is an American comic strip though, is it not? Shows like this are kind of a grey area in my mind. Even if it's made in another country, it didn't originate there and it's original language copy would be English. So I doubt that anyone would really call it anime but it fits a technical descritpion of what a show needs to be anime.

it doesn't come FROM the comic strip per say, but the cartoonist who ran the comic strip is the director/script writer for the show. I don't know if he has any hands in the actual animation there. Being he's just the story writer (I think) it wouldn't be any different than say, the Count of Monty Crisco (sp?) or Lupin the 3rd animes. |

Pssh, Azumanga Daioh used the 4-panel comic strip.
Boondocks is anime for these reasons: 1. Deep color. Very rich color choices which increased the realism of the settings. 2. Anime proportions. Characters are drawn with proportions found in "How to Draw Manga". 3. Anime Physics. Basically, some "Rules of Anime" are followed. NOTE: Not every anime must follow them all; just those appropriate to the plot. For more, see 100 Rules of Anime. 4. Yes, it has a plot. Exploration of the African-American interaction with the rest of society and with themselves.
Bingo. Yet, sadly. That "technichal description" is not fixed - undefined. Hence, the level of confusion. |

Kyuu, it seems that by your definition, anything animated that is colorful and has a plot, is a anime.

Madhouse already has worked on the Spawn animation. I don't consider it anime thoughl. Didn't TMS (Tokyo Movie Shinsha) work on a bunch of american catoons? Duck Tails and Galaxy Rangers come to mind. The people who did Thundercats and Silverhawks as well as the animated Hobbit (topcraft?) was rumored to have eventually form Studio Ghibli.

As much as I wish it to be -- it's hardly a definition. Just a group of observations made when putting the Boondocks next to something that IS considered an anime -- then paying attention to what traits are similar. So far, the Boondocks is disqualified from being an anime just because it is not made by a Japanese; yet it is fairly obvious the animation shows technical characteristics of anime,
I can also be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Anime Yes, I'm committing heresy to the sacred term Anime. Regardless, the idea of anime having a blurred definition is rather old. Plus, it was never resolved; hence, it is debatable. |

It is and has been resolved, however you continue to question what has been stated and continually say the same thing. You will not change the minds of those who support the fact that the term "Anime" in American standards, stands for animation that is produced in and comes from Japan. And I also know that this statement will have support from others at this website. |
