I would say that it’s not particularly anime due to the fact that they have a different style of art, I’m not completely sure what I would call if but I would say that if it’s not in a Japanese production and style personally wouldn’t classify it as an anime.
I would say it doesn’t count, but I also feel as though it would be the opinion of the person watching/reading it.
Lessee…
Astro Boy, because I liked his horns. I used to bend a wire coat hanger and put it on my head and run around the back yard. I also liked how his feet were rockets.
Marine Lad, because I liked the idea of chewing gum to be able to breathe under water (cos my mom wouldn’t let us have gum). Also his mermaid girlfriend made eight-year old me feel kinda funny inside.
Gigantor, because he made me feel safe and protected. And I thought it was hilarious that the kid with the remote controller always for a suit and tie!
Mushoku Tensei really disappointed me, because…
- Season 1: Rudeus is reborn into a fantasy world that is shattered by a magical catastrophe that scatters his family and friends to the ends of the world.
- Season 2: Rudeus attempts to deal with his erectile dysfunction. Seriously.
To me, no. Just as manhua and manhwa do not count as manga.
Astro Boy doesn’t have horns. That’s his hairstyle.
