Acording to my japanese translator, 'sushi' translates to "sushi; anything made with vinegared rice". When I searched 'Raw fish' I got Sashimi.
Say what the hell you want, but anime is a freaking cartoon. And those of you who go, "Anime is Anime" are just idiots who are far too ashamed to admit that they're watching cartoons.
Hm. While i'm at it, lets get the translation for 'Manga' "(n) comic; cartoon;" ok, now anime, "(n) (abbr) animation" wow. Looking at it that way, its not that different from Looney Toons, or the Disney Channel, now is it?

You're an idiot, seriously...you're going by exact translation. everyone, listen...anime is not the same as cartoons and manga isn't the same as comics. comics are for little kids and people who are still going to be living in their parent's house/basement when they're over 30, and Manga has many different series for many ages, not to mention manga is still in japanese form.
