Question though... Doesn't anime just mean "Cartoon" in Japanese. So speaking legitimately, if a Japanese person watches an American cartoon, don't they call it "Anime" as well? I dunno why I'm even asking this. Though another question.

Is anime defined by it's style? Or just if it's made in Japan? Like say I produce a completely American cartoon. But I live in Japan. Does it count as anime? Or if a Japanese person lives in America, and produces a really Japanese cartoon, would that be considered an anime?
