'Anime' that isn't from Japan

[yansusu]

The Emperor's Strategy maybe?

[GesuGesu]

I second Tina's suggestions. Tencent Animations make good stuff, but mostly those two that have been adapted from popular novels.

Chinese anime but 3D, tales of demons and gods. The animations is not good btw. But its 2D anime comics is nice.

[J.Lovelace]

Wakfu, it's from France. Oban Star Racers is French-Japanese.
Totally Spies! is... French too?
They sure seem to love their animes
Guess it's worth a shot to look for other French productions.

Anime means cartoon in French, anime in Japanese is a borrowed word from the French.
The thing about animation is that a lot of animation is outsourced overseas. The first three seasons of Transformers (G1) and the first season of Teenage Mutant Turtles, the first two seasons of the The REAL Ghostbusters were animated by Toei Studios. Transformers Armada was entirely animated in Japan and dubbed by the Americas. X-Men was animated by a Korean animation studio.
There's also European animated shows that take influence from Japanese animation like Wakfu by the Ankama Productions, and Code Lyoko animated by Moon Scoop Group.

Besides Avatar, the only things that come to mind are Boondocks, Spider Riders, and the later seasons of Chaotic

[OttoGruenwald]

Wakfu, though later seasons are pretty meh.

It's French.

[GamerPrincessXI]

The Boondocks and Cannon Busters. all I could think of.

(To complete on 'anime' in French: 'animé' only means 'animated'. The French for cartoon is 'dessin animé' = 'animated drawing'.
When I was growing up, in the 80', we were saying 'manga' instead of 'anime' for the Japanese animations; and when we started using the more proper word, there has been a sort of controversy on how to pronounce it. Most were pronouncing first 'anim', because 'anime' sounds too strange as it's an adjective (imagine calling cartoons "animated"!), but purists insisted for keeping the final 'e'. Others says it's useless to be a purist if the Japanese word is a mistake itself - can one be a Franponese purist?). I rember people could go on that for hours . As far as I know, now it's common to prononce the 'e' but it still sound strange to me. Shows my age haha).

[nostalgicroxas]

Why has no one mentioned Voltron yet? Or Miraculous Lady-Bug?
Some other Canadian shows follow the same formula as Japanese anime, like Code Lyoko.
And it's not "animated" in the traditional sense, but it definiately follows the beats: Thunderbolt Fantasy

I believe the Netflix Castlevania was made in TX? Somewhere in the US.

[BobbyjoeX]

did anyone mention Martin Mystery?

[bakasama25]

The term "anime" is just short for "animation" (animeshon). In Japanese, it's a general term for animation. When talking about Disney animation, they can just refer it as Disney no Anime. It's not the only Japanese term that got butchered in English. I can say things like, Hentai, H, or Otaku got same treatment.

[bakasama25]

Voltron? That was a Japanese anime that got translated in English originally. Looking back on it, the dub is pretty damn funny.

Miraculous Lady-Bug is a French, Korea, and Japanese co-production. Supposedly, there's Toei animated special coming up in the future.

I see people talking about some French animation but there's no mentions of Ulysses 31 or the greatest cartoon to grace French televisions in the early 1980's, The Mysterious Cities of Gold.

[nostalgicroxas]

True, Voltron "originally" was made in Japan, but the remake that's got everyone screaming at anime cons wasn't made in Japan.
That reminds me The Dragon Prince is likely US made as well - I think people call it a spiritual successor to Avatar TLA?

[AceRagz]

Yeah the capital of Texas, Austin. Since Rooster teeth has been in Austin for over a decade and producing animation other animation houses have been moving to Austin including Powerhouse that helps Frederator Studios produce Castlevania

[WriterLinXiaolong]

A non-Japanese anime/cartoon/animation that I can list on the top of my head:

Spirit pact/Soul Contract
Mo Dao Zu Shi/Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation
Quan Zhi Gao Shou/The King's Avatar
Quan Zhi Fa Shi/Full-time Magister (it was cut short due to budget issue though)
Doulou Dalu/Soul Land (It's 3D)
Noblesse

The French origin of "anime" was very prevalent in France at these times, I know it's debatable and generally considered as less likely than the English origin; I don't personally have an opinion, I'm FAR from being a specialist, I have no interest in anime and no knowledge of Japanese. I was just remembering these funny times of bickering in the French anime community

[bakasama25]

I do know just enough Japanese to know that some adopted Japanese word used by anime fans aren't quite the same as used in Japan. I do have a little chuckle when somebody calls themselves an "otaku".

@WriterLinXiaolong
Ah, it looks like another fan Frankenstein.

[chaSzen]

Anime is now my art style.
