In a cataclysm known as the Nightfall, the worlds were almost completely destroyed by a harrowing surge of darkness.
In the shadows of the ensuing chaos a new group has taken shape. Led by an Aegyl named Kalos, the 11th Hour touts an esoteric knowledge of how to combat the darkness and restore the worlds. They might be the worlds’ best chance at survival; but nobody really knows enough about them to confirm or deny their claims.
On the brink of collapse, the universe holds its breath in anticipation. Of restoration? Of destruction? It is up to individuals like yourself to decide.

Great question. I've been an on/off fan of the styles for a few years, and I always assumed that Anthro was stuff that looked like a fox on two feet sipping tea, and furry retained more humanoid qualities, but apparently I was wrong!

I saw that but my response to it is.
Yes it would make sense. Anthromorphic is giving anything human qualities. Yet the terminology of "Furry" was not bestowed and given to everything and is a fairly new term. From research, the term of Furry didn't really pop up much until the 1980's. So I wonder why and how this new term popped up to define what had already existed, but extends from it with an entire different culture.
o3o In the entertainment industry, they DO see a difference, and thus far they are not attracted to that artistry. Also when you look at these images on a typical day, do you literally think 'that's a furry' and 'that's not'? When looking at some had you even consider them to be furries?
Honestly I have as if the Bugs Bunnies, Mickey Mouses, and other mainstream characters are not furries, because they were never showcased as furries or carried the furry title. I think even in documentaries they may just refer to them as just a mouse, funny animal, or anthromorphic animals. Your Simba, Sebastian, Charlie, and so on are just talking animals; they may carry human qualities of thought or humane fleat like...conducting a band, but they are still ...animals.
Thus far through my exploration and from my own eye. I think there's a judgement of aesthetics hence how some people say "It's like porn I know it when I see it." Thus far anthromorphic animals are just focusing on ...making an upright animal with personality...sure they might have clothes they may not.
Furries may do that but go far in trying to push out both animal and human qualities like excessive fur, trying to be percise in the animals anatomy (sometimes with the face rather than a caricature or they're natural leg structure), human hair (which is shown quite differently than fur), and humanoid anatomy especially muscle structure. It's as if they trying to pump up the animal and human qualities for it's like a furry person with animal ears and tails.
o3o I love them, and when I look at them; I don't see furry in their drawings, because they are...quite stylized and cartoony. Yeah when I see their paintings where time is put in making their bodies furry...I can see the...furry, because they are striving to bring out more animalistic qualities.
Thus far it's one of those..."All rectangles are squares, but not all squares are rectangles."
I asked this question on my FB, and thus far people who replied...are people who I know would typically be looked as furries in separation from anthromorphic animals.
One doesn't like the furry label as if to avoid the hyper sexual side of the furry fandom. Let's face it sex is everywhere. Sex in anime is called...Hentai; sex in cartoons are probably considered "adult cartoons or mature". Personally sex in the furry fandom just haven't gotten a name despite how prominent it can be including the activities in fur suits (and seriously when have you seen a furry Mickey Mouse suit...like run) So she prefers to be called anthromorphic, while the world around her would dub it furry...probably mainly because she emphasize on the animalistic fur quality of her characters. Yikes its as if to be a Furry your character must indeed be FURRY.
The other doesn't see a difference at all as if its one group. Her art is mainly talking animals, because they are still on fours and not upright on 2. With the detail she gives them putting them on two's wooould dub it a furry. She thinks the tilting is unnecessary because it gives artist a hard time to define themselves and their art. Yet she makes furry suits...and go to furry conventions sooo she is a part of the furry fandom. :/ Juuust saying.
This is all very confusing to me, because in my terminology, furries are anthropomorphic. But not all anthros are furries. Alien concepts, for example, or even robotics can be anthro.
Now, anthropomorphic animals vs. furries. Kinda subconsciously, I've always viewed the latter more of a newer cultural thing, and the former more like Mickey Mouse. But I suppose they technically can be the same thing. Basically I hold with what Ellie says in that regard.
