some call it a cartoon (even in Japan they call it a cartoon), others call it an anime, which is an animation from Japan. I tend to call it cartoons or animated. it's no big deal, but, if it's from Japan most have dubbed anything from there as being anime, however this has become a regional term, but, yes, it is animation from Japan.

Made in Japan...... Anime. If you watch enough anime you'll discover it's pretty average fare. Plenty of stuff just like it. Perfect for the 5-10 year olds that made it popular.....and their parents, (Me) who had fun with the absurd humor.
