Please do use this whenever you encounter someone who does in fact believe that Zim is somehow anime inspired or whatever.

On the animators interviews on the volume three DVD set, they talk about anime alot. But those were the animators, who had nothing to do with the writing or character designs of the serise.
The Vampire Piggy Hunter game was supposedly a nod to Vampire Hunter D; they said so on the commentary.

Sadly I have not finished watching volume 2 for the first time let alone listened to the commentary but thank you for the information. I can see how Vampire Piggy Hunter was related to D, it's the hat and the cape IIRC. Of course Roman Dirge came up with that episode. I have it on good information that Jhonen enjoys playing Gundam X.

I love Zim from the deepest part of me, but I already knew that it wasn't any type of anime at all. It's so hard to convince people so. So what if the production company is called 'Anime Works', it's still not anime (that is, in the North American sense of the word).

Mayumi Tenshi I love Zim from the deepest part of me, but I already knew that it wasn't any type of anime at all. It's so hard to convince people so. So what if the production company is called 'Anime Works', it's still not anime (that is, in the North American sense of the word). The production company for Invader Zim was Nickalodeon Studios. Anime Works is just in charge of the DVD release.

Spider_Jerusalem Mayumi Tenshi And the DVD production, I believe. Exactly. So it has no mingling with the actual product, meaning Zim has nothing to do with anime. The end.

Spider_Jerusalem Please do use this whenever you encounter someone who does in fact believe that Zim is somehow anime inspired or whatever. I think the trouble I have with your statement is the fact that you said that Zim isn't "anime inspired". Now before anyone starts, I'd like to say one thing. Invader Zim is not anime. It was made for the American audience. But you used the word "inspired". While the creators were American (or at least of Western descent), there is the possibility that they were inspired by anime while they were making Invader Zim.
