Is Ninja Hattori a cartoon or anime?


I've been watching this thing since I was 8, now I am curious to know what
I've been watching all these years. I am not sure what makes an anime and a
cartoon different, but I think anime has more violence content than cartoons.

In many of Ninja Hattori's episode, use of weapons, like sword and shuriken
was shown. And in most of the episode you can see Hattori and Amada fighting,
which is not suitable for a cartoon. Those fights can be compared to the
fights in DBZ or other action manga and animes.

So what do you think, is it a cartoon for children or a action genre
anime/manga?




It's Anime because it's made in Japan, and (generally) made for Japanese
people.

Cartoons are animations in a broader sense, and as such, Anime is a form of
Cartoon. Made in Japan.

It lies in the rating of the show and its targeted audience to determine what
can be shown to viewers, low violence doesn't make something a Cartoon if
that's what you mean.
