Do stuff that you find interesting. I can buy good looking cups, but I still run the pottery wheel to make something by my own hands. It's wonky, not perfect, but it's made by me and I'm proud of that

    Even in Japan, people differentiate between anime with more basic or complex themes.

    The simplified difference is standard in foreign (non Japanese) communities which don't have a culture of complex theme animations being targeted towards adults for entertainment.

    • Cartoon = simplified themes and characters, even if it's high quality animation.
    • Anime = complex themes and characters

    Cartoon the word invokes idea of a caricature. Animation (Anime is short for animation) on the other hand doesn't.

    Several cartoons which aren't Japanese (so weren't called anime when they launched) have been classified as anime because of the complex story telling and characters. Most famous example are Avatar, Jack the samurai.

    Being a shareholder in a IP organization isn't a out having a control in the result. Even if AMD wants something, the appointees of other companies might not agree due to charter or politics.

    It's a microcosm of capitalism and bureaucracy
