I must agree with this statement. It seems that some people
want to classify anime as a strict nationality thing. This is
quite vague, since as said earlier a lot of anime have
American productin, and vice versa. Others pertain to 
anime as being a certain art style, but anime is *very*
diverse and there is simply no anime that has the same
characteristics.

This is pointless, ne?
