(Cute faces, no forgiveness)? <-- I duno, still monolingual over here.

Is that a trailer for a new Counter-Strike mod ?

WOW! That was surreal, but beautiful! I'd totally watch that. I agree with HerrPetersen... very Japanese concept. I mean, who else would think of adorable bunnies as unforgiving soldiers? Hahaha Can't wait to see more.

(3D anime series trailer)

Wow thats a bit crazy. Somehow the Japanese voices didn't seem to go with the chars, I am not sure why.

Is it anime? At what point is it anime and which point computer graphics?

Yeah, maybe you are caught on the English concept of Anime meaning "Japanese styled animation."   In Japanese, as yukamina pointed out, all animation is called アニメ.

At the same time, I used "anime" in my first (obviously all English) post - perhaps erroneously, though I was just echoing the Youtube page I think. heh...

That's a confusing conversation to have with Japanese people though.  Explaining that, in English, we call Japanese animation "anime" but for others, we use "animation" or "cartoons."   And we don't call comic books "cartoons," but we do use that word to describe comic strips you find in a newspaper sometimes.   Found myself confused trying to explain that more than once.

Anime is short for animation. Anything that is animated can and will be called anime in Japanese. Cartoons are animated. 3D animation is animated. Flash videos are animated.
