I would personally say SPAWN is the most bad ass superhero. I just bought SPAWN the ultimate collection and no one can say that guy doesn't ****ing own... He's so much better than every other pansy ass super hero.
What are your opinions?
No, this is not the wrong forum. Anime is just an abreviation for animation and Spawn is an animation. I have just bought the animated series. So, case closed. Right forum. I am aware that it could be posted in the Movies from comics forum but I am not talking about the spawn live action movie. So this is still the right forum as I am talking about animation.
Anime (アニメ, Anime?) (IPA pronunciation: [ɑnime] in Japanese, but typically [ˈænɪˌme(ɪ] or [ˈænəˌme(ɪ] in English) is an abbreviation of the word "animation". Outside Japan, the term most popularly refers to animation originating in Japan. Within Japan, the term anime is used to refer to all forms of animation from around the world.
Emphasis on mostly. And the fact that the Japanese use it for any form of animation. Spawn is anim whether you like it or not. Have you seen Hellsing lately? That's pretty similar to Spawn don't ya think? Just because it's made in America doesn't make it any less of an anime. It's like saying that the music people make on a different planet isn't music.

I'd say it's very different as you said it's not used as an abbreviation. Well it turns out it is. Sorry.
And I don't care if this place wouldn't count Spawn as anime. Most other Anime oriented sites wouldn't even have a forum for comics converted in to movies and it's just about my 5th ish day here and this is probably the only forum I've really been in so I'd say when I see an anime I'd put it in the anime forum.
I didn't even see that other forum until I'd posted it here anyway.
Besides this si still the correct forum. I haven't seen any moderators tell me otherwise. And Spawn is still Anime by dictionary definition as you can see. And unless you guys have a secret dictionary just for this site explaining your own weird definitions then don't expect people with real definitions to be able to use it perfectly.

You have had a moderator tell you otherwise. AKA me. AKA the one who was largely responsible for there being an anime forum on KMC to begin with.
Anime as Japanese animation is not 'some weird' definition - it is the standard definition for how the word is used outside of Japan. This isn't a site based in Japan so the "it's short for animation" argument doesn't cut it here.
Sorry, but that's the fact of the matter - Spawn is not an anime, and anime is Japanese animation only. Not even Western cartoons like Teen Titans or Code Lyoko, which are based on the anime style, cut it in the anime forum, because they are not anime.
