For those who don't know, Spawn was an animated TV series that aired on HBO in the nineties. It was criticality acclaimed and marketed towards a very mature audiences.

Personally I believe it is one of the most faithful and well done adaptations ever made. My question here is whether or not this can be counted as anime.

I have always viewed it as such. It has all the style and makings of anime. Todd McFarlane chose this purposely, as he felt anime was the only medium capable of telling the story in an adult manner. He even had it animated overseas, Korea I believe. Anyway, if you haven't seen Spawn I highly recommend you do.

I've heard of this. It's not an anime though, it's a animated series of a comic. I've heard how good it is, though. Once I get into comics one of these days, this is one of the series I'll watch and read.

I know it probably doesn't count. That's a shame really because it has such an inspired design. Spawn really helped bridge the gap to anime for me and a lot of other people in the nineties.

Still, it must be said that it is one of the few American produced cartoons to do anime any justice.
