Anime and genre

[Jim Harper]

In general, I see no problem in considering anime movies alongside live-action movies, especially if there are thematic similarities. Anime horror (for example) is not completely different to live-action horror, so it's possible to discuss them together, although the sheer volume of material on both sides can make it impractical to do so.

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.
