Yes/No



Do you consider Adult Swim's hit animated TV series, "The Boondocks", to be an anime?

no, but it's inspired heavily by anime, especially the fight scenes.

No, The Boondocks is not anime, and there isn't a season 4.

From the Wikipedia page:
Both the comic strip and the cartoon were influenced by McGruder's love of anime and manga. He cites Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo as sources of inspiration for the series' fight scenes. The opening sequence of Season 1 contains similarities to that of Samurai Champloo. Some of the humor is based on the characters' anime-style movements. In 2006, McGruder explained in an interview, "We now have a Japanese anime studio named Madhouse to help us out", but at some point, the deal with Madhouse fell through. Instead, MOI Animation, an Emmy Award-winning South Korean studio, handled the animation for season two onwards. As a result, the following seasons of the series have more detailed animation, as well as minor updates for most of the character designs.

The real question is if the source material is considered manga.

People say Neo Yokio is anime so if this was made by a Japanese studio it'd be an anime. Seems like it's not though so it's a south korean animation.
