  1. My bro and I had a pointless argument about anime and animation. He says that both are the same thing and that anime was animation without the "tion" in it. NO! NO! No, they are NOT the same!

    1. @darkspine By definition, yeah, they are pretty much the same. They're both a series of images played in rapid motion to give the illusion of movement.

    2. @darkspine They're pretty much the same. Different origins, different names. Like "French fries" and "Papas fritas", depending on the place the same thing will be given a different name.
