Fauxnime

Short for "fake anime", the term refers to any "anime" that isn't made in Japan.

Keep in mind, even though a series is considered "fauxnime" it could still be somewhat good (ex. Code Lyoko, RWBY, etc.)

This comes full-circle, considering the amount of inspiration Osamu Tezuka got from various Disney works.

## Examples

### Straight

* *My Life Me*- produced in France and Canada. If it was based off an anime (like some believe), it would've been the modern counterpart of ToonMakers' *Sailor Moon* cash-in.
* Animation Collective's animated works aimed at an audience older than preschoolers:
	+ *Kappa Mikey* and its spin-off *Dancing Sushi*
	+ *Speed Racer: The Next Generation*. Comes full circle as it itself was based off an anime.
	+ *Three Delivery*
	+ *HTDT*, with its *FLCL*-esque premise.
	+ Averted with *Team Toon*, though that's not really from Animation Collective.
	+ Shorts also avert this, such as *Tortellini Western* or *Leader Dog*.
* *RWBY* and *RWBY Chibi*
* *Code Lyoko*
* *Totally Spies!*
* *Puppy in My Pocket: Adventures in Pocketville*
* *Sonic the Hedgehog*: the Western comic book is basically the print version of ToonMakers' *Sailor Moon* cash-in, even though the TV anime and the OVA made it stateside. Otherwise, it's inverted.
* *Avatar: The Last Airbender* and its sequel
	+ Also Nickelodeon's earlier attempt at one of these kinds of shows, *Constant Payne*. It was never picked up.
* *Ben 10* up to *Ultimate Alien*
* *Wakfu* and the much-more-obscure prequel to it, *Dofus*
* *Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!* and *Transformers: Animated* even went so far as to be animated by a Japanese studio as well as being animated like actual anime.
* *W.I.T.C.H.*
* *Winx Club* didn't start out like this, magical girl influence aside. Later seasons, however...
* *Miraculous Ladybug*. It was much more obvious before Zagtoon decided to shift it to 3D.
* *Star vs. the Forces of Evil* has some shades of this, especially given the magical girl influence.
* *Steven Universe* is partially inspired by magical girl anime. Fusions are also partially inspired by *Dragon Ball Z*.
* *Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart*: Not really art style-wise, but some plots have a shonen feel to them.
* *The Owl House*
* *Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012)* has some shades of this. This is fitting given the franchise's references to Japanese culture.
* *ThunderCats*: The 1985 and 2011 series.
* *OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes* features a mix of Hanna-Barbera-like designs and anime-like plots.
* *The Powerpuff Girls*: The titular threesome.
* *Samurai Jack* has its fair share of anime influences, even going so far as to name the main villain Aku.
	+ Genndy Tartakovsky's other three Cartoon Network/Adult Swim shows often show *some* kind of anime influences. Taken up to eleven with a villain in *Dexter's* who kidnapped Peepers.
* Game Boy Advance Video's video codec has a lower framerate than most western animation, meaning *everything* (with a few exceptions) that otherwise averts this *will* be subject to this in the GBA Video releases. *SpongeBob SquarePants*, for example, averts this on any other medium, but on GBA Video, while the episodes themselves didn't really change, the lowered framerate means the GBA release could pass off as this trope (while keeping the obviously Western designs). The most blatant example was the GBA release of the episode "Pizza Delivery".

### Parodies

* *Girl-chan in Paradise!!!*

TBA.

### Inversions

* Crayon Shin-chan
* Chibi Maruko-chan
* The works of Fujiko Fujio, such as Doraemon, Perman, Ninja Hattori, and Chimpui.
* One Piece
* The more cartoonish people in Osamu Tezuka's works; his work otherwise subverts this.
* Nintendo:
	+ Super Mario Bros.
	+ The Legend of Zelda
	+ Animal Crossing (mostly)
	+ Splatoon
	+ Metroid
	+ Star Fox
	+ Kirby
	+ Donkey Kong
	+ If a Pokémon isn't cute, it may look a little cartoony if it otherwise has no clear Japanese influence.
* Sega:
	+ The earlier Sonic the Hedgehog games. Later games, too, though the Japanese influence increased in those games.
* Kingdom Hearts: Anime-influenced characters aside, the entire thing looks like this as it was a collaboration between Square Enix and Disney.
* Zenryoku Usagi has its share of anime influences, but it's also got some Western influences as well.
* Sazae-san
* Zenmai Zamurai's art style looks as if it came out of a comedic kamishibai.
* Fate/stay night plays this straight and averts this at the same time. While most Grail Wars are fought between Western heroic icons, the art style itself looks like any other anime would.
