I know that you say above that you're not interested in genre debates,
but I just have to ask -- why is "anime" separated from "movies" in
your estimation? (Of course, not all anime is experienced in a cinema
setting, so that might be one good reason.) And do you consider anime
to be a genre? 

I'm curious about such perceptions of anime and how it's thought about
and categorized. I'm interested to hear what others might think about
this as well.
