Not to be rude, but is there a difference between cartoons and animes?

I think of cartoons as the cartoons I see in American TV and the style is drawn differently. Anime is a more realistic style and it came from Japan... That's how I see it.

I think all animes are cartoons, but not all cartoons are anime. I think a cartoon is anything that is animated. IMO, what distinguishes anime is a japanese animation aesthetic.

LOL I haven't seen him go on any rampages in a while :p

And haha I figured as soon as I saw that result that it was you
It was because of anime that I even tried watching dramas (more precisely because of the song from the anime). However, I suppose now though I watch more dramas than anime, I love them pretty equally. Sometimes my mood leans towards watching dramas, sometimes anime. I don't watch anime if the art and/or story is not up to my liking though similar could be said about dramas which I find difficult to watch if people I dislike star in them or they have poor storyline.
Used to love anime but I've slowly realized how screwed up many of them are. Gotta go with my dramas. <3
I have to say I've been liking drama more these past few years. Anime's just become so recycled. I only have like 3 new ones this year I want to watch and usually it ends up being just one a year I watch. I often stick to stuff I watched years ago or yaoi. :p I don't really care for anime much but I LOVE my dramas. I dunno, dramas are just more entertaining for me for some reason. I blame Delicious Gakuin for getting me obsessed with it. It was anime-like but I dunno just better than an anime. XD
I like both but I've watched more dramas than anime
For the most part dramas. Animes don't interest me much anymore unless they're yaoi or they're intriguing. And I have to be really intrigued XD.
same here! and they don't make anime nearly as good as they used to, i don't think ): but now, dramas are like 85% of my overall entertainment xD
Am I the only one here that's watching 29 anime series right now? No really check my anime list!

It's actually more easier for me to watch anime than dramas considering how one episode of a drama is at least an hour long. But I love them both equally
I love anime...but I stopped watching because I've been too hooked to Dramas for the past 2 and a half years :P
i just love them both ...
