Definitely not an anime . You tryna provoke me? After you already stood me up tonight!?
In any English sense of the word as commonly used, anime only means animation produced in Japan. Western animation you'd generally just call animation or cartoons. There are definitely anime influenced animations, but Invincible isn't one. Something like Avatar, Castlevania, and even older cartoons like powerpuff girls and samurai jack are anime influenced, but not anime. To be honest, I don't think people in Japan care that much. The word アニメ is of course just a shortened form of animation. When I was a kid, it was also often referred to as Japanimation but that's fallen out of use and anime / アニメ is the term in Japan as well.
