Difference Between Anime And Cartoons!

Well anime can be directed for adult viewers as the same for young children
Cartoons are normally made for young children but as we all know adults watch them also
A lot of anime have "Adult content" while cartoons do not (like panty shots and such also adult language)
Also in most you can see the graphic differences between cartoons and anime
Also in Most anime there are normally a main plot, while in cartoons there can be plots but they are not required that you can see the plot throughout all of the shows.. for instance in Sponge-bob there really isn't a plot that goes through many shows or like johnny test .. they all base around the same characters and places but each show is based on something different then the other...
In other words what i suggest saying is that Anime is just different then Cartoons and if they ask how tell them to look it up because its a pain to explain lol.
And Anime is the best it is the feeling that you feel down your back and the feel of joy and love :)!
