How exactly to you define an Anime? Most i guess have multiple episodes to a whole story line, thats what makes them different to Cartoons and such (i think anyway)

Yes, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" would be considered an anime because it is from Japan (if my info is correct). So would "Inspector Gadget" and other animes that were released in the US and thought to be as cartoons.

So, qube what you're saying is, since cartoons have different stories for each episode, that's what makes them different from anime? That's interesting, I never thought of it that way and you could be right.

Well, I guess asking an expert (like John from AnimeNation ) would help us with the answer....but I don't know if he'll answer something like this, if it's already been asked. I think I'll go and look through his "Questions" archive and see if I can find the answer and post later.
