Look up the word Anime... I refuse to argue with you over it. I see no benefit in it.
Now if this is merely a disagreement, I will continue by saying you might be right that American Cartoons are labeled that in Japan I don't know and I don't have any way to prove you wrong. (Mostly cause I don't feel like researching it because it's 4:17 AM) But what I can say is that Anime is more geared towards a more adult audience whereas American Cartoons are geared towards the younger audience with exception to very few. I have never seen an American Cartoons from big names mind you that come close to being as free as Anime tends to be.
