Anime/Manga Designed by American Artists

[give me food]

*Such as "*********," designed by Fred Gallagher(?).

Do you consider it "real" Anime/Manga, albeit it may not appear to be the genuine article? What is the genuine article, anyway? Should Anime merely be classified as "cartoon created in Japan?"

Discuss, I guess.

Well, I understand the difference between actual anime and anime-inspired animation, but I just lump them all together anyhow. It doesn't really matter to me where a show comes from.
