[Blade Raider]

Anime is a wibbly wobbly word. In Japan, it's simply shorthand for animation and is interchangeable with with cartoon. The typical, and very flawed, definition outside of Japan is "animation made in Japan." This is very flawed as half the American cartoons made in the 80's and 90's were animated in Japan making things like Ducktales and Animaniacs into anime.

The best definition I've come across is "animation intended for a Japanese audiences." There's still exceptions to this definition as sometimes it's intended for a different country. As I said, anime is a wibbly wobbly word that's hard to define outside of Japan.



ANYWAYS, been watching on Blassreiter. I wanted to see some of Gen the Butcher's work before Gaim started and this is what Netflix had. I'm 9 episodes in and 3 major characters are already dead. I'm glad to see the nickname doesn't lie. It's a Local/Henshin Hero show that's similar to Kamen Rider, but closer to Garo for it's adult content.
