Doesn't really matter, anime is still anime regardless where its made
Bzzzzzt! Wrong.

Anime is Japanese animation, so if it's not made in Japan, it's not anime. Sure, there may be some Western works influenced by the well-known art style(s) seen in manga and anime, but that doesn't make it so.

Definition of anime: Animation produced in Japan.

Therefore, animation NOT made in Japan goes against that definition. In other words, it's not anime. That's pure logic. No need to understand more than the definition of words.

This is how Wikipedia defines anime, by the way:

Anime is an art form, specifically animation, that includes all genres found in cinema, but it can be mistakenly classified as a genre.[7]:7 In Japan, the term anime refers to all forms of animation from around the world.[1][8] English-language dictionaries define anime as "a Japanese style of motion-picture animation" or as "a style of animation developed in Japan".[9][9]

And I add that the latest statement pretty much applies to the rest of the world, outside of Japan.

So then it could go either way then?
So then you're both right?

Kind of, depends on how exactly you define anime and it's subject to debate.

I always use anime to refer to Japanese animation and it's pretty much the original definition before anime-influenced animation arose, so I think it's more correct to use anime to exclusively refer to Japanese animation.
