Re: Avatar: The Last Airbender, Anime?
OK, just kind of wondering whatever happened to the term "japanime?" I would very definitely consider "Avatar: The Last Airbender" to be anime, just not japanime. When anime first started gaining a large US audience several decades ago, "japanime" described absolute authenticity, whereas "anime" allowed for a little wiggle room, usually based on content or quality. Sort of like the difference between "kin" and "kith," although, come to think of it, I guess I'm the only one I know of who still uses the word "kith."
