If a white person/American was to make anime is it still anime? So let’s say an American decided to go to Japan and produce their own anime, would it still be considered an anime even if the person is not Japanese but creating it in Japan?Im not really looking for the difference between anime and cartoons, but more of what things have to be done to consider it an anime or what has to be done so that it’s not considered an anime. For example: Where it’s produced, who is producing it? etc. 

Hopefully that makes sense..
Yes I believe it would. I’m pretty sure (not 100%) but I think Avatar the last airbender is considered anime even though it’s an American production
