Duolingo and the “Anime” genre

Duol.png md5: 2dee9ed3...

Did years of low quality beanmouth and Family Guy clones give the word “cartoon” a bad rep? To the point where you have a show made by Titmouse Productions (housed on the US coasts and Canada) trying to pass itself off as anime? Isn’t even the first example of this happening either

Because "anime" invokes the image of a serious, plot-driven cartoon. While "cartoon" invokes the idea of something silly and comical.

The joke that this cartoon is going for, from what I've seen, is that it's intentionally playing up the absurdity of a language learning app getting a (tongue-in-cheek) 'serious' adaption. Calling itself an 'anime' is part of the joke.

He is right though. Most normalfags nowadays know anime from shonen. Your image is from an obscure magical girl anime made more than 15 years ago. Do you think anyone cares about it? What op has described is a real phenomenon with so many "serious" western cartoons calling themselves anime, like the castlevania one

Duolingo is unfunny cringe, superficially larping as anime is unfunny cringe, and let’s be real, did we expect this shit to be anything but unfunny cringe? No, we fucking didn’t, this whole weebshit garbage was made to appeal to redditors.

Americans have considered cartoons to be bullshit for children since the 60s (at the latest)
