By the strict definition, Visual moderate and Origin purist is ‘anime’, other east Asia stuff are like donghua (Chinese) and idk the Korean name for animation
You need to add a 3rd dimension to your chart, this layer only covers media that is in video format.
We need books to be included in another layer, then any real concept to be real, then a last layer theoretical concepts.
So video/motion picture is purist: should be obvious
Books moderate: top left would be standard manga, bottom right would be like The Raven or Telltale Heart
Real concept anarchist: top left would be something like a drawing of an anime girl, bottom right would be like a great Dane or Jupiter
Theoretical concept Evil Incarnate: fake anime like that saki sanobashi one, would be top left, bottom right would be something like string theory.
