This always bugs me. 'Anime' generally refers to the style. 'Japanese roots' is also vague, if it has to be made by a Japanese studio to be anime then Batman Beyond is anime and Robotech: Shadow Chronicles isn't
If you really want to be a butthurt about it then 'anime' is just the Japanese word for 'animation' which means anything from Scooby to Popeye to Avatar is anime.
Just enjoy the damn show.
