Here are the top 5 major differences.
5. Different Terminology
Anime in Japan refers to all animated productions, English dictionaries define the word “Anime” as Japanese style of motion picture animation.
The word anime derived from French term dessin animé while others claim that it was used as an abbreviation during the late 1970s era.
on the other hand, Cartoon was initially used as a model or study for a painting.
It came from the word “Karton” meaning strong or heavy paper.
Over the turn of the centuries, the term cartoon was totally distanced from it’s original meaning and it used only to define a humor picture with a caption or a dialogue.
