And the phrase 'commonly associated with' gets misinterpreted pretty heavily by some of the anime fandom. There are people that think that all anime must originate from Japan, and anything outside Japan isn't anime. Fortunately, those people seem to be the minority. True. Though I don't care for it myself, Avatar: The Last Airbender is clearly an anime. It's just too bad that animation in the West is seen as a children's medium for story telling or for comedy, but with the rise in popularity of anime over the last few years, maybe that'll make America take it more seriously. I can dream, can't I?
