I wonder who wrote that article, because it doesn't really make sense.
1. Funny animals
2. Zany humor
...
7. Anime?

Word usage
In Japan, the term does not specify an animation's nation of origin or style; instead, it is used as a blanket term to refer to all forms of animation from around the world.[11][12] In English, dictionary sources define anime as "a Japanese style of motion-picture animation" or "a style of animation developed in Japan".[13] Non-Japanese works that borrow stylization from anime is commonly referred to as "anime-influenced animation" but it is not unusual for a viewer who doesn't know the country of origin of such material to refer to it as simply "anime".

I guess it's just a dumb discussion to have, though. Call it a cartoon if you like, but it's like calling a French baguette a sub roll.
