I am not categorical about this issue. This is just a personal approach, one that I find works well with people who dislike anime.
This is just my own pragmatic “solution” of sorts. It allows me to recommend Perfect Blue, Jin-Roh, The Sky Crawlers, Memories (to people who I think would enjoy them of course) by saying that “these pieces are animated, but they are more like a movie that happens to use animation, not an anime.” And it works.

I see. Yeah I have a similar pitch for my friends and family members who still only associate animation with children’s cartoons.
