Me, I'm calling it a cartoon. As engrossing as the plot becomes with time, it isn't animé due to its French origins. A common counter-argument is that "animé" is a borrowed French word anyway, but the connotation is too deeply ingrained with Japanese animation for me to buy it.
EDIT - FATAL ERROR: Crap, wanted this in Interrogation Room. Move, please.

It's definitely a cartoon, a pseudo-anime maybe, but not a genuine one.

Anime is not a 'higher form' of cartoons. Anime is just the Japanese term given to cartoons.

OH YOU DONE BROUGHT DOWN THE THUNDER NOW.
Turns out they're internalized AT Fields brought about by the show's incessant rejection by the Francophobic masses.

Exactly.
I'd dare say it's animated sequential art movie originating from France. (Lyoko was done by a french studio for an American audience, IIRC)

However, that doesn't mean one is the other--trust me, there are enough stupid, horrible Japanese cartoons to match Cartoon Network's drivel--if anything, however, anime is treated as a 'respectable' genre (as in, people know it reaches a wider audience and can make money) than Western animation does, which seems to be stuck in the mindset of 'for kids only.' This isn't set in stone, obviously, but it's how the situation works--it's culture, more than anything.
But, anime = cartoons and cartoons = anime so the point still remains that it's the same thing, save perhaps that it was not originally created in Japan. In that sense, then no, it is not "anime."

And as long as we're making farfetched CL/Shakespeare comparisons, William Dunbar is the new Iago.

I think it's both.
Code: Lyoko would probably fit into the anime category due to it's style of drawing, but I see elements of 'cartoon' in there as well.
Shakespeare, Shakespeare, Shakespeare... I got nothing.

Don't you dare do it again. Especially since this isn't interesting in the least anymore.
