Of course animes are movies.

Counting it out on the basis that it has less if not non emotional impact on audiences is like counting out all those Troma horror 'trashes', and all those indie schlock blood-and-gore 'crap' (which Forum members keep posting trailers of these titles).

While we are at it, I reckon we should be discussing whether shorts or features shot on video (be it digital, Beta or V.H.S.!) should be considered as films...
