Diablo Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 When did you finally realize that Animes is different from Cartoons? And which Anime shows did you enjoy before that, thinking it was a Cartoon?I used to watch an Anime called UFO Baby or Daa! Daa! Daa! when I was a kid and that was my one of my favorite Anime (Cartoon at that time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leica Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 It was 8 months ago that I realised that Anime is different from Cartoon.I had watched shows like Love Hina and Inuyasha before I knew the difference which was long time ago.

Dan Den Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 For me it was about six years ago when I found out the difference between anime and cartoons.I use to watch dragon ball z and thought it was a cartoon, so one day I decided to do some research on it that is when I found out what is anime and what is cartoons. But I only became a big anime fan around last year June when I started watching Bleach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robotman7 Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 i never really thought of them as different, its all animation,many of the cartoons i watched as a child were made by the same studios that made the anime i watched Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanodus Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 At the beginning, I didn't know that anime was a different type of cartoon. But I found out about 3 months later that anime was from Japan, and that it was very different, and a lot more complicated than I thogu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titis Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Hmmm. I realized when I looked more into it. Probably in the very beginning when I started watching anime, 5-6 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kota41688 Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 I was like 9... I was watching some cartoons on T.V. and then they played an episode of Sailor Moon (I'm like 23 so it was the only one on regular tv lol) I was hooked... It was more mature than the cartoons and the animation was amazing to me... I realized about half way thru that they had been airing a trial 'Japanimation' segment and it was well received. I and many other kids watched that for a lot of years... they expanded from SM to Dragonball and on. Then as all regular tv programs succumbed to the uprise to cable and satellite.

Zovesta Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 I grew up with Pokemon. So, uh... as soon as I realized that cartoons were a thing? My sister helpfully told me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinaRose475 Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 the first animes i ever watched were edited and dubbed (dragon ball and sailor moon) so i thought they were just cartoons. i first realized that anime and cartoons were different when i watched Ranma 1/2 when i was 12...funny show...just not for kids...

Shadowpuppy132 Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Never really thought about it, but maybe one time while I was watching DBZ I noticed the art was way better than say, Spongebob lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fzeromasta00 Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 8 years (?) back when DBZ was being aired on Toonami, I use to think they were cartoons, I use to categorize them as the "high quality" cartoons, due to anime having higher detail and quality than your typical cartoons, buuut thanks to a friend of mine who was already into anime, I learned quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jobonline20 Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 i got to know animes existed only after i got into kametsu. i watched naruto on CN and thought it was a cartoon, my first anime was fate/stay night, it still is my favorite cartoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shinigami King Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 When I realized that anime could hold a linear story line, and show character development, although some animes don't do this like Shin Chan & Pokémon while some cartoons do Avatar: The Last Airbender & Code Lyoko, so there I think there is a bit of a grey area in terms of what can be considered anime & what can only be classified as cartoons.
