Anime is not a Cartoon
I'm tired of people referring to Anime as a Cartoon. Yeah, so I'm just gonna rant and rave about this topic a little. lol. Anime and Cartoons are two different things. Anime refers to Japanese Animation while Cartoon refers to American Animation. To me, that's the biggest and most obvious difference between the two. Also, not only are there cultural differences between Anime and Cartoons (the whole Subbed/Dubbed Anime thing; Anime gets edited when it's dubbed into English so that it'll fit the American audience better) but the art style in Anime is much more exquisite than the art style in Cartoons. Alot of thought and care is put into making an Anime (especially when it comes to the actual Anime character; I always find Anime characters to be drawn so beautifully) and Japanese Animators don't hold back when they want to add in some strong content or random content. IMO, alot of Anime fans have a real appreciation for the art style of Anime as well as the content which is why alot of Anime websites I've come across, Anime fans usually perfer Subbed Anime.
Ok, I'm done ranting and raving. lol
