Is Anime Artistic?

[Gawdzilla Sama]

After graffiti anything is "art". And we need a new word for the good stuff.

Maybe we should just stick to art for the good stuff, and call bad art "fart" instead.

And the really ancient stuff "old fart"? 

Nah, too much potential for confusion.

Ah you mean hentai . Yeah loli fetish takes it way to far . To be fair though it is founded on a Japanese concept of beauty . Small women are considered desirable as are women with a very young appearance.

To me it is more like a medium for telling a story than art.  Maybe it is akin to illuminated bibles but without all the annoying god stuff?  Some of what I've seen has seemed artistic to me, but the examples I'm seeing here all look like they belong on Nickelodeon.

I think there is a slight difference in style

Loved "Howl's Moving Castle." Gotta get a copy.

ETA: Cool, Amazon had it.
