I see Teyon's point...but here mixed medium does not mean mixed medium well at least to most.  Now if you are watermarking your image....that's not mixed medium, the same as if a painter signed his work with  a crayon. BUT to address aldp001 if you have photo's you put on a canvas and paint around them...that's mixed medium.  The point (not sure if you were joking or not...I see the happy face but just in case you weren't) ahem, the point being if you use an object created in lightwave and bring it to poser...is it poser or is it lightwave? hmmm it's clearer if the object was created in lightwave for Poser...than it's Poser....still I think mixed medium should go away...because either we don't know what it's for or we just don't care either way it's not being used in the manner it was intended.

As for Anime to me it's Japanese comics...or Japanese comic related materials.  Archie and Spiderman are world's a way in storytelling and in art but they're stil comics.  I feel Anime is a buzz word (an enduring one at that) just to explain a comic genre from a different country, American comics offer just as much diversity...but we tend to think of the Big Two (DC and Marvel) as all American Comics, when that definately is not the case.  If Germans had a different comic style drawing would we be calling it whatever Germans call comics in their native tongue.  Anime is Japanese Comics and comic related materials.  Such as Spiderman is a comic movie, although you don't see any drawings in them.
  Before the "pros" chirp in, I'm basing my thoughts on the matter from 30 years of comic collecting and being married to a Japanese woman (and now living in Japan) where if I'm reading a comic book in my car (I do that when she goes shopping) a child will see me and point and say manga....because it is.  Manga equals Comics , Anime equals Cartoon, we have two catorgories that are the same.   If any distinction should be made the categories should be  "Comics/Manga"  and "Cartoons/Anime" but I'm just nitpicking on that point.  :)
  I have several people comment on my work and say "hey, that's not Anime...it's sci-fi" because we are so used to seeing Sailor Moon and Dragonball Z, but fail to realize that there's a lot more to the genre than charecters that look that way....just like there is more to American comics than Batman and Spiderman.
 that took way too long.
