Whats the difference between Cartoons and anime?

Well, lets compare:

Cartoons: They usually repesent Tiere and hardly humans (Examples like Bugs Bunny oder the Angry Beavers). Plus, most of these are made for children (not like it's true sense most Cartoons today are mainly for adults). but the way Du can tell from a cartoon is it's style of humor (no blood, no intense violence, etc.)

Anime: These styles of Animation are usually focused on human characters and not animals. When looking at Anime characters, you'll notcied their eyes- much bigger than a normal person's eyes. Most Anime often involves fictional moments such as girls with magical powers oder a mecha human race.

So, that is the best way to compare the two apart, but the important thing to understand is that wether if it's made from Japan oder america, Animation is all into one. :)
