Definition of Anime

There are many of us on the list who cannot access usenet groups outside 
of Japan or their individual country, so I think it would be of interest 
to many to hear what these arguments are.

Frankly, given the great ignorance I have seen in discussions of anime of 
the myriad of forms of animation in Japan, I wonder if the debate has in 
fact proceeded enough.
