[edit] Anime and furry
Unlike "funny animal" cartoons, anthros in animé are more likely to have involvement in a plot. Although anthropomorphic characters (known as kemono or kedamono) are frequent in a large number of series that are not otherwise furry (such as Oolong in Dragonball), there are a number of series that specialize in kemono, such as Hyper Police and Sonic X, as well as movies such as Bagi.
[edit] Anime media with anthro/furry characters
As with western cartoons, some anime series and movies feature furries as more than just side characters or mascots. Often every character is depicted as a somewhat anthro character.
