Redifining "Japanimation"
From Wikipwedia: "Anime is occasionally referred to as Japanimation, but this term has fallen into disuse. Japanimation saw the most usage during the 1970s and 1980s, but was supplanted by anime in the mid-1990s as the material became more widely known in English-speaking countries."
There's a distinct difference between and Anime and Japanimation.

On a side note, I didn't mention Astro Boy/Tetsuwan Atom (Mighty Atom). This is because they're starting to call him Astro Boy in Japan.
Also, on Wikipedia : "it is now used primarily in Japan, to refer to domestic animation; since anime does not identify the country of origin in Japanese usage, Japanimation is used to distinguish Japanese work from that of the rest of the world."
So, basically my attempt at reviving a nostalgic term is just me talking out of me arse.
Anime is "animation" in Japanese. Japanimation is "domestic animation" in Japanese. "Nippon" is "Japan" in Japanese... or Nippon.
Whatever. I should sleep.
