Tekka 10 - the episode where D-Boy magically gets his clothes back and saves a bunch of drunks but not before he gets drunk himself. Oh also they sing Danny Boy in Japanese and it's hilarious. It was a really great episode, minus the horrendous dated animation.

Well since, RWBY is officially on Crunchyroll, I can officially say I'm watching RWBY that's a anime.

X-Men and Blade are much better.

I should watch X-Men one of these days if only to hear the seiyuus struggling to say Wolverine again

Whoever said RWBY was not an anime, I retort with this:HA! In your face!

thank you and have a nice day.

So, now what is and isn't an anime isn't determined by it's definition, but whether or not it's hosted by a certain site?
Whatever.

This.
Just because something is on Crunchyroll does not make it "anime".

If you want to define "anime" as anything that's Japanese animation-inspired, then yes it's anime.

If you define as many people do, including myself, as "animation from Japan" (because that's what the Western definition has essentially become), then it's not.

Please do not turn this thread into an endless debate as many discussions about Avatar eventually become.

Although I agree with you Zeo and Matrix, I have to ask, does even Japanese Anime still count as anime if most of it is outsourced to Korea?

As long as its conceptually from Japan, it passes

By the strictest of definitions, any animation aired in Japan is technically "Anime."
Including My Little Pony
The Western definition is just the more common one, but it doesn't matter where it's made, as long as it hits Japanese airwaves, to qualify as anime.
