    I got yelled at recently for saying I was watching what I thought was an anime. Can you help me understand the difference? Is it just if it’s originally made in Japan?

      Anime and cartoons are the same word, just different languages. If you are speaking Japanese, it is always proper to refer to cartoons as “anime”.
