As someone who likes both Cartoons and Anime equally, I have yet to find someone who doesn’t get offended by me saying that. They’re just animated projects at the end of the day, just made differently through cultural norms. I’ll enjoy both like I’ll enjoy a burger & ramen, both are good and tasty, don’t care which one’s better as long I’m munching down

That’s it, I’m just writing this because I’m bored

      Actually, yes. ATLA is generally considered closer to anime than American cartoons, and is heavily influenced by anime

        No-one calls the DCAU an anime, and I daresay for its time that Justice League TAS had one of the most intriguing and thoughtful plotlines in the whole collection.

          DCAU is not influenced by Japanese animation, so of course it’s not. But I wouldn’t call it a cartoon either. It’s an animated series, IMO

      I’d say that ATLA is an animated show but doesn’t feel like a cartoon. For me personally, “cartoon” and “anime” are different subcategories of “animated show or movie”.
