I was too lazy to put the flag back on.

You mean you went on the gap year thing? How was it? Where did you go?

I don't remember anything about the plot so I would be totally lost. Makes sense to have different endings and make it more interesting.

It didn't sound that good if you ask me. It showed they are behind in the voice software department compared to Voiceroids.
Well yes but I was thinking that despite anime = animation if you chose to use the word instead of just saying animation then there must be a reason for you to want to specify something and in this case it's just the origin of the animation being Japan.

Well yes, anime = cartoon = animation, but that is actually not the whole story. Cartoons specify a genre of animation that is generally shorter (10 to 15 minutes) often stylized and episodic as opposed to serial. Episodic meaning each episode is on its own and not connected to the previous while Serial means each episode connects to tell a complete story. Beast Wars or Captain Planet, The Centurions are just Western Animation while Sponge Bob for example is a cartoon. Nowadays people call any western animation = cartoon, and cartoons for the Japanese are anime because anime = animation.
