I knew it as both depending on who I talked to at the time. I figured it was a great compound word and didn't know it was offensive. I guess it's the way one pronounces it.
"Japan-y-mation" where the word "Japan" is pronounced fully: not offensive in theory since one is trying to describe "an animation style originating from Japan"
vs.
"Jap-animation" where the accent is on the first three letters makes this offensive.
Still, it's safer to just use "Anime".

Nova and (Arcturus) Mengsk are Starcraft characters, and Mengsk is Nova's boss, so to speak. Nova is a deadly cyber ninja gizmo assassin for the Terran Dominion, and Mengsk is the emperor of said Terran Dominion.

I can recommend the selections at http://www.qualityavatars.com/ if anyone has exausted the avatars included in GOG games. I like to change mine frequently, so it's best to go by username, not avatar.
