  • I gave up on American Animation after Cartoon Network got rid of all its old cartoons.

  • AM GONNA END THE CONVO, WITH A SUMMARY:

    Anime and American animations are quite different A.A focuses on making cartoons either look like everyday ppl (BEN 10) or watever words can describe chowder. Anime focus on creating artistic ppl who have colourful hair and gravity defying hair. In recent time 2010- 2012 ,A.A has become less n less about story and more about the jokes mixed with a little adult humor, Regular show. On the other hand anime focus' on super humanizing most characters .

  • @TheGalaxyFilms2 And to finish the post below: Anime in general trys to confuse viewers of the ending as to spark interest Naruto the manga is a good example.

    In closing; the main difference comes down to plot MODERN A.A have no need for complex stories or even a plot in some cases, while anime depend on either a plot ir "OPness" of the characters to draw attention

  • I am trying to get a job for film in order to bring better quality to animation. I have MANY animated films planned and most are very edgy and artistic. So far, I screenwrite. Check my channel if interested.

  • @darkangelx9991 He actually compared american and japanese animation qualities and if youve seen the TMNT series then you would know they had alot of animations flaws. Even James Rolfe (AVGN) mentioned those in his TMNT review. Things like bandanas having wierd colours, backgrounds missing and so on.

  • @Acceleration3

    Thats why I just opt to read the manga instead. Try and find a library with manga, there arent many though, but Im a little lucky; its in my school XD And I know shounen isnt your thing, but OP has all that (except for the long bit).

    Random unrelated note: What do you like? Im interested to see what other anime are out there.

  • @Acceleration3

    *1st paragraph was about One Piece*

  • @dollreviewz155

    Yes, anime artstyle had to lower the frames for the animation so that they could accomodate for the extra detail and style.

  • @Acceleration3

    Yes I did, and its true. Even though its nothing complex, the characters all have a backstory, and all have a goal they wish to reach. But thats just shounen.

    I did not state shounen was the best, its simply my favourite (Because it also has the ability to incorporate many other genres into it, romance, drama, ecchi etc.).

    BTW what is your favourite? If its a shitty moeblob or fanservice anime then you suck. If not, good day to you :)

  • @Sogekingist I don't have a genre I prefer. But Shounen just isn't my thing. There's no way I can watch a 300+ anime knowing some of those episodes are just fillers. I like anime with : a) good plot; b) likable characters; c) not too long; and optionally being funny.

  • @KillYoFam97 Well then that's just because all the voice actors have Japanese accents.

  • @KillYoFam97 You have to watch more than Pokemon to like anime...and if you watch something other than Pokemon and still don't like it, try watching the original Japanese version with English subs. The Japanese voices are better than the American ones in my opinion.

  • ur facts are wrong.......... disney wasnt the 1st people to create animation look up fleischer studios.... the 1st form of anime created by tazuka i think.... was inspired from fleicher studios ideas.... betty boop and things like that.... the whole big anime eyes style came from fleicher because it was a popular thing back in the day...... (im trying to cram in a report right now so yea.... lurking for accuracy)

  • both are good, end of fucking discussion

  • anime was WAY better in the 1990's.

  • Even when America did an almost anime show (Avatar) it still looked better then most anime shows in Japan.

    Often it depends on the show. Some shows can afford the budget to make epic animation. But honestly I prefer American animation cause the movements flow better and the mouth flaps are more realistic.

  • I place a lot of emphasis on plot, American stuff just dont have good ones :(

    Anime has a lot of the generic "high school slice of life" shows. Mostly boring.

    Then there are the Shounen genre. Id recommend something like One Piece or Fullmetal Alchemist. This is my favourite type of anime as they have a lot of humour and action, and with it a good plot.

  • @Sogekingist Are you saying Shounen genre is better than the rest? I seriously hope you aren't. Also you mentioned "One Piece" and "plot" on the same paragraph.

  • Most of american and western animation is probably apocryphal. Means you got find it. I suggest watching Osmosis Jones, Titan AE, Megas XLR, The Iron Giant, Samurai Jack, Static Shock. yeah the list goes on.

  • Have you ever watched cartoons? Really, I know a lot of american cartoons that are very well animated with great dialog. Avatar, Sonic Shock, Jackie Chan Adventures, Spongebob. You have to search to find good ones but there are plenty out there, whereas anime is always so damn serious with silly voices. But that's just my opinion, the only anime I watch is Studio Ghibli work

  • @Pinkberrythecat

    yeah right.the dialog down right cheezy.

  • @Pinkberrythecat Might want to check the name of the creator of Jackie Chan adventures and STATIC not sonic lol shock. But Danny Phantom is an excellent american cartoon but like most of the cartoons of its kind they were cancelled.

  • @mikunisan93

    I Agree to that...

  • japanese animation WAY BETTER!

  • == just because of an anime and cartoon the all of you bring up the argument about science, technologies, politics et cetera. pity on all of u =/

  • to those who say cartoons are just a bunch of comedy with no plot, then you don't know cartoons to begin with. So they can just keep that comment to themself and shove it up their ass.

  • The people who say that all cartoons are childish and have no plot has never even bothered to watch cartoons in the first place...

  • now anime is gettin' better these days... I just watched this trailer..

    watch?v=p286WtHoK2g

  • Personally i say that Anime is better then American animated cartoons. since A) there is an actual plot to most every anime that works and is developed unlike how in america its constant episode after episode of with no real plot only aiming to be funny. B) yes the animation tends to be better. C) they aren't as hush hush about the content they show in comparison to american animation having obvious censors. D) Anime is consistent in episodes with new episodes on a weekly basis.

  • I saw this blogy thing, that said that anime and manga thing, that said thatt anime plots are usually very simular.

    It's the first thing that comes up, when you type in 'american animation vs anime'

    The plots are honestly not the same >:O

    America has a nice habit of following simular story lines, to protect their audience, or something, it's so irritating.

    As bad as an example: You never see a bloody 30 year old man and a little boy having some crazy illegal romance, do you!?(Boku no piku :'I)

  • @madara96 look most if not all anime is for children and my main thing was people over the age of 30 should stop with stuff everyone has to grow up eventually

  • @Ts1fangjoker

    No they're not for children. You're ignorant. Even adults watch Anime, hence why there is cosplay dumbass. Anime is made for everyone that's why even adults watch it. Even if you grow up you'll still watch it. It's not as childish as you think. God you're stupid.

  • @Samhiuys cartoons are for adults too(spiderman,thor,iron man etc)

  • This video provided nothing to back up it's points, sorry but this is a worthless video.

  • Anime and American shows all have their pros and cons. There are many of both that suck, but only a few of each that are great. I also liked the 1994 Spider-Man Animated Series, but the last season of it was pretty bad.

    You are right that the Japanese treat their manga as an art form while we see it as just a kids thing. It's not, and I think the Simpsons proved that.

  • American animation is no different from anime basically. All of the things said about anime (they have unrealistic eyes and stuff like that), are things that american animation is guilty of to. It is pointless to hate anime for the same things you seem to like american animation for. People love the way peter griffin and homer simpson look So whats the big deal about anime art style?

  • @LelouchCommandsYou The anime style is amazing.

    People that draw and write anime have a real passion for how their characters look.

    Homor simpson(Main chara): Lellow fat guy, blue jeans and T-shirt.

    L. Lawliet(Main chara): Wild hair, detailed, blue jeans and a T-shirt.

    Yet they both look so different.

    Oh, and before we start throwing rocks at me and chiz :I I was just pointing it out, really.

  • @CookieMONSTERisFULL And i was pointing out that the art styles are basically no different

  • @LelouchCommandsYou Yes, I know that, and I'm saying they are different.

    Japanese anime and manga are completely different to the American style of animation.

  • @CookieMONSTERisFULL In the way they are drawn they are not that much different in the basic concepts. The idea is they are both unrealistic in how they look. And passion is something not applied only to american animation. What we have are two different styles of "unrealistic" art.

  • Anime and cartoons are the same thing and both for children not people in Their 30s with nothing better to do then compare it to American cartoons on YouTube

  • @Ts1fangjoker anime is not only for children you TWIT, goes to show how much you know about anime you dumbass.

  • @Ts1fangjoker AGAIN!  I see no children watching a 30 year old guy boning a small child. Now I'm not saying that's the right way to go, but still!

    Have you watched any yuri or yaoi?

    Hentai maybe?

    NO >:I

    (Boku no Piku)

  • @Ts1fangjoker no watch the anime Kissxsis and tell me if it is for kids

  • @SilverGalford what anime's have u been watching

  • anime today is just porn and furries amirite?

  • @CODHelperpro no not really that sounds more like sonic the hedgehog and normal anime doesent have alot of furries

  • @CODHelperpro NO!

  • IF you think naruto holds a candle to Disney animation, you're insane. Don;t get me wrong, i love anime, but when it comes to quality, American animation is better. U.S animation tend to keep their characters moving, and most of the time their characters lips actual sync to the voice, while with anime its cheap flaps. Nothing but :D :| :D :| :D :|... Anime is still cool though.

  • @sharklord

    You do know that because it is originally in Japanese audio, it's synced to what it ORIGINALLY said, not what is said in the English dubs.

  • @JSRF38 Not really no, its still mouth flaps. It doesn't look like natural lip movements. I don't think the Japanese look like this( :D :| :D :|) When they talk.

  • @sharklord as an anime fan I agree with you all the way. and most animes today are getting cheaper in animation quality as well if you've noticed...

  • @sharklord LOL try watching the anime in japanese with subs no flapping cause THE VOICES ARE SYNCHED TO A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE. -___-

  • @TheGalaxyFilms2 I have. its the Same thing, mouth Flaps. In some rare segments the lips will sync, very rare. But 98 percent of the time, it's mouth Flaps. Very few Animes sync, like Movies made by hayo.

  • its amazing how much anime you watch and dont realize its anime

    as i kid, i watched loads of anime thinking it was american cartoons! pokemon, dragonball z, yu-gi-oh, avatar (the last airbender) all anime, and i didnt realise! theres most likely way more than that, and ppl who bash anime now, probably really liked those shows growing up

    personally, i like both american, and japanese cartoons, i prefer anime, but i still like american cartoons as well

  • I like both,but i love anime more then american animation which is called cartoons.In cartoons they just make jokes about anything and there isn't a plot to it.Anime there's a plot and watching some of the shows you can actually feel something for the character.Whether it's hate,pity,or just a character you kindof relate to.

  • anime haters.. lol.. ulol... hahahaha..

  • @lordinvencible No, you can hate anime. As they say, one mans trash is another mans treasure. But YOU just post shit like "anime fans are stupid" or "animetards can't get a girlfriend" like you're trying to turn heads with your uneducated comments whereas in reality we can have high IQ'S and have 3 girlfriends in 2 months! THAT'S the shit that pisses me off!

  • @lordinvencible I am. But its people like YOU, the type that troll anime videos, who I REALLY hate. Like that comment you posted to my channel. Did you really just go through all that JUST to get your stupid point across? And you guys say WE have no lives...

  • @lordinvencible That's because you're an anihater. You show RIDICULOUS bias

  • @Aznflipstuh9469

    Yeah, they're gonna rock your world.. :).. BTW I'm a big fan of Jrock musics, they're awesome.

  • @lordinvencible Go find a debate where your IQ is matched.

    Anime vs. Cartoons is for smart people

  • @lordinvencible hey....go get some friends! END OF THIS DISCUSSION!!

  • @lordinvencible well, shut up u little 7 year old whimp!! anime owns cartoon!! anime is so dam well made!! in cartoons it's just a bunch of crap

  • @lordinvencible u suk donkey balls, anime owns that stupid fuking boring noobish cartoons, cartoons is for 7 year old kids!!!!!! oh, wait, u maybe is a 7 year old kid that can't understand that anime owns that noobish cartoon!!!!!!!

  • @Ryoku17don

    And Fate/Zero?? OMG!! I didn't expect it will be animated this year!!! I just google that last time, Fate/Zero is known for it's prequel for the anime Fate Stay Night, I read the forums said that TYpemoon Studios and Ufotable Productions will be the producers of that anime. I'm expecting that it is serious, not childish, doesn't have Fan Service, and epic battles between Saber(girl Arthur) and Berserker(Hercules). I already know the whole story of it because i read the novel.

  • @Ryoku17don

    lol... (obvious)Already watched that scene, it contains some cool action scenes too... but it's rated as R+17 because it contains some gory stuffs like blood and some scenes that are no suited for youngsters; but still has a good story even the visual effects too why I liked that anime.

    My cousin there at US, spent more than 600 dollars just to buy 2 sets of knk Blu-ray disk.. Otakus really rich. :P

  • @YuzuNakamura

    No need to PM you.. and Yeah, this anime Knk has captivated me with its dark themes and full blown action (I'm sure you have already watched the fighting scene watch?v=BXRWxfKBVTU ), I've herd news that Blu-ray box sets of Kara no Kyoukai have sold out in the US during the release last February. (check out the forums)

    I'm looking forward for some new animes like Carnival Phantasm, Girls WOrk and Fate/Zero(coming this winter) this 2011.. have you herd about Ao no exorcist ?

  • @Ryoku17don

    Hehehe... Nandito ka lang pala pinoy... :P

    Well, you mentioned KNK... Kara no kyoukai is gettin' famous these days came from a light novel titled "boundary of emptiness" authored by Kinoko Nasu ~ I really like this anime... Just PM me if you want some more infos about knk...

    I too recommend some good animes for you... Angel Beats & 5 cm per second... try watch em' .. :)

  • Oh BTW, Some animes came from Japanese light novels too.

  • Dont care if someone hates anime, just accept the fact that each one of us has it's own likes and dislikes of some stuffs... luckily I found some animes with some good animation, just what I have mentioned previously.. but I'm not a 100% otaku ~ i like both anime and american animation and not one of the "narutards" cuz im not a big fan of naruto. :P

  • anime sucks

  • I'll vote for Anime...

    It proves me after watching these Two animes : Kara no Kyoukai and King of thorns

  • @Ryoku17don I'm glad KnK changed your opinion. :)

  • @SouthernRiprey

    I Really like the animation of that anime and also the plot of the story. Thanks. :)

  • american animation animals are so silly i mean 1st of all an animal's stomach is not round and 2nd if you compare a cartoon fox and a real fox 1 difrence the tail the cartoon tail has chunks of fur on the tail while the real tail has none

  • @jadonSteve Um...what? When american animation animates a fox it looks way more real than a anime version. But if its a show where they arent trying to be realistic (creativity unlike anime) then they can animate the fox all they want.

  • They really need to make more shows like the Justice League and the Batman series. Hopefully DC gets work on them when they get their movies made. And when it comes to the quality of the animation, these shows IMO beat most of the animes that I've seen.

  • Anime.

  • Honestly I think the people commenting here on how much they hate anime haven't even watch 6 episodes of it.

  • anime ftw! go listen to some of the sound tracks, and intro songs, they are the best.

    cartoon intros just take clips from the show and put them all together with a really crappy song. anime intros are all made up (not clips from the show) and have better songs composed by popular artists/bands. .........listen to takanashi yasuharu's music, he really defines EPIC

  • @Aznflipstuh9469 well said!! let's show those 7 year old kids that anime owns!! cartoon suk

  • @Aznflipstuh9469 Hell no, Americans have orchestrated music, in all styles, Anime has generic music and overrated J-POP. (Actually thats a lie because only Japanese and Weeaboos like J-Pop, nobody else..)

  • @DarPower1 ..........................just listen to takanashi yasuharu sound tracks, and a few bleach openings (awsome bands like high and mighty color) .its my opinion i think anime music is the best

  • @Aznflipstuh9469 Ew, JPop sucks. United States has memoriable songs intros, and most importantly exicution, anime recycles and wastes time to bullshit around.

  • @DarPower1 can you be specific.....

  • Japanese can't do comedy in anime its a known fact. Anime has a such a repetitive animation style.

  • @MrAnimeBasher go spam someone else you dick!

  • Oh, an argument about content, not animation.

    Who cares.

  • @MrAnimeBasher you wasn't supposed to care, dick meat

  • @DoomRider101 : neither you.

  • @MrAnimeBasher i don't

    just keep your bullshit to yourself and go spam someone else dick meat!

  • @MrAnimeBasher fuck your cartoons! :3

  • dude when u say the animation is better in anime then american i dont think ur talking about actually animation(how they MOVE AND COME TO LIFE) ur talking about artwork which IS mostly better than american. but when it comes to actual animation the japanese arent always that great they may half ass some movements ESP. lip movements (up and down) barely completely matches the sound coming out of the characters mouth YES i mean in the ORIGINAL jap dub too just flapping. americans nvr do that

  • either way this arguement is stupid because they both hav their flaws and both can be rly enjoyable depending on the ones u watch u can say that u lik one more than the other but I WILL NOT TOLERATE ANYONE SAYING THAT ONE OF THEM SUCK that just pissed me off

  • anime is a piece of crap , get over it.

  • Anime wins, because if you watch the Japanese versions, instead of the English EDITED bullshit, you'll see that anime is much better, like instead of a punch in the face and he falls to the floor, you get some blood, Pokemon has guns in it, and the storyline is much better, the english even edits out the swears

    JAPANESE: You know what Kakuzu, go eat a dick

    ENGLISH: You know what Kakuzu, go eat a hot dog

    major edit, which makes it sucks in america

  • @DoomRider101 Actually Pokemon has no cussing the creator of it avoided cussing and violence. And there were guns on the Pokemon anime when it first arrived.

  • @futureanimatior Well yeah, Pokemon was safe from the start, but I mean like Naruto, Bleach etc.

    There was a Pokemon episode where Ash got all those Torous, it never aired in america because of constant use of firearms

  • @DoomRider101 Oh alright I see what you mean. I think they also took off the episode of Tower of Terror... T_T That's one of the best episodes out there.

  • @DoomRider101 Japanese versions is version i was talking about. i dont give two fucks how much cussing is in it, or how many panty shots those perverts show. Or how many guns in a scene. What matters is the story, and the way its told, even the japanese version falls way too short. You weeaboos need to learn that just because something is animated for an older audience doesnt mean its good.

  • @DarPower1 Well give me a cartoon that is better than most anime! And just because u say it sucks, doesn't mean it sucks!

  • @DoomRider101 Justice League (had more fleshed out actions and story), Ed Edd n Eddy (was way funnier), Star Wars the Clone Wars, (doesnt have a sexual reference at every chance like anime and has killing.)

  • @DarPower1

    Most anime as more action than Justice League

    Ed Edd n Eddy is funny, but the rest is crap

    Anime does have killing, and I agree, the perverted things does sometimes kill the storyline, but it does make great comedy (like when the pervs get pwned)

  • @DoomRider101 See im not saying anime really sucks. Its just that TO ME over the years the quality and entertainment has decreased because in international cartoons, they are weird shapes, blobs, and your pure imagination. In anime 99% of the characters are structured as humans with bug eyes and weird shit around them. And their animation is executed poorly, i understand they have a lower budget but it still looks lazy when they cant animate normal human movements and rely on still shots.

  • @DarPower1 Well yeah, they do have some animation fails, like on Naruto, they once forgot to put in Pain's nose piercings and right side of his neck, and they totally made his face wobble around in one episode lol

    But I see what u mean

  • @DarPower1 ugh Panty Shots *Facepalms*, The good stuff takes a little effort to find cause as we all should know.. MOST Media SUCKS....HARD!! but a good Anime can be just as satisfying as some of the better Live Action stuff we have here

  • @Salanmon Again, anime was only good because when shows like YuGiOh and Dragon Ball and Pokemon came out, it was something we never saw before, Everyone loved japan and anime. However, when more animation came out and it all looked the same, same sex jokes, same weird hair and eyes, same plots from a USA or Jap media thing, same choppy animation, things like this, is kinda the reason why anime isnt to popular any more, even IGN didnt put a anime show on its number one spot in its top animation.

  • @DarPower1 ALL(pretty much) Anime that's been aired here in the U.S towards any DECENT audience belonged to just ONE Genre, the 'Shounen' Genre, shows in Japan that were aimed at pre-early teen boys, Young Male protagonists, main emphasis on fighting/battling being the major traits, this Genre is regarded by many fans as one with poor quality with only a handful of good shows and that's not even counting the censoring done here. no wonder Anime isn't popular it been handled like crap over here

  • @DoomRider101 You're talking about the edited english dubs of japanese anime? Well of course the original wins here. The topic was about american cartoons, not dubs.

    And one thing, japanese, as far as I know, doesn't have swearwords in the same way english does. The 'fuck's and the 'dick's in the subs are put there by the fansubbers. Besides, swearing doesn't really make a show better.

  • @Pnikkis

    I guess you're right -shrug-

    but the swear words just makes it funnier imo

  • @DoomRider101 Hmmm. I think that depends. If swearing fits the character(take for exaple, some muscle bound truck driver), then I guess it would even be expected. But sometimes, depending on the subbers, making a character swear is just OOC for them(like some shy, normally good mannered japanese school girl). Bad language can be funny, like creative insults, but 'fuck' in it self doesn't guarantee funny. Most of the time it just gives an image of an immature teen.

  • @Pnikkis

    Yeah, on Naruto Hidan curses like hell but he's not an immature teen, he's like in his 20's, but he doesn't just blurt out "fuck" when he feels like it, I mean he's an immortal devil worshiper so when he gets his head cut off its just "kakuzu can you come over here and fix my head pretty please?" when his head is fixed and kakuzu said not to move his neck around too much or the stitches will fail "Kakuzu, go eat a dick!" total change in personality so that was kinda funny imo

  • ha yeah but even todays cartoons still have better character while anime just has the girls acting cute or sassy so the fanboys can fap

    while the males act all heroic spouting a bunch of bullshit so the fangirls can fantisize about couples or even fantisizing about having a sort of relationship with the fictional character don't get me wrong ill watch anime, I just ignore the dumb emotional parts most of todays anime and cartoons are lame but cartoons take the win for me

  • most American cartoons are specialized for kids but anime is far ahead in storyline and variety to audience.

  • Invander Zim pwns

  • A lot of times when you have an American animation that is actually drawn good, there is a Japanese person involved.

  • American cartoons focus on animations and more realistic movements. And they are more for kids. Anime is more for adults. Yes, some anime sucks, and has crappy animations, but that is just some. And anime has more visual quality, higher graphics and more art. Anime is made the traditional way. That takes longer time and more work.

    I am not a person that just used 30 minutes that googled, gathered some information and watched 1 or 2 animations.

    Oh, and anime isn't weird... cultural differences .

  • Brotha's say it with me now. BEEWWLLL-SHEEEET!!!!!!!!!!!

    Anime and amerination both have great, meh, and terrible shows. Freakin weaboos and trolls ruin the artform by creating this tension between the two when the likes of Cowboy Bebop and Avatar the last airbender prove they go hand in hand!!! Not to sound like a broken record (even though trolls will take it like that) STOP THE FUCKING HATE!!! WEAR A HAT INSTEAD. A hat looking into your soul for what you really want in life (Gurren Lagann)

  • i like both, it is just animation just in different countries

  • Neither is better than the others. It all comes down to personal taste. I'm an anime fan more than cartoons. Anime in my opinion offers a wider range of characters, stories, awesome music and I love the art style . Plus it isn't as censored. I've tried to get into American Cartoons and Comics, but I just can't.

  • A lot of arguing here for what is basically, just cartoons . . .

  • @ProfessorEdelstein Persepolis is a feature length cartoon film, however it's also an outstanding movie.

  • @cha5 yeah, but I wouldn't argue this much about a movie either

  • @ProfessorEdelstein You might not, lots of fans would however. The IMDB has a whole site devoted to these subjects in the way of a nonstop message board and in any case film and animation have an equally devoted fan following.

  • @ProfessorEdelstein Plus you'll always find fans complaining about the blatant commercialism of Pokemon while praising the master works of Tezuka and Miyazaki etc.

  • anime fans...american animation fans...SHUT THE FUCK UP!

    anime - more artisticaly detailed, better sound desighn, often better stories

    american animation - better animation (they actually animate the fucking mouthes), more easy to access here in the states, fewer rabbid fanboys who never shut the fuck up

    i will admit it, i personality like anime more...i dont know but it just seems to be a personal preference

  • @hotaru1able thats what i was gonna say why cant we like one or the other or both and shut the fuck up and stop flameing each other like a bunch of immature shitheads 24/7 if were gonna get to world peace first thing we all need to do is SHUT THE FUCK UP!!

  • @hotaru1able that is somewhat agreeable but the only reason the mouthes dont move much in anime is because of dubbing (remember anime is originally in japanese but if it is eventually dubbed in english there may be problems with talking animations ). Though there are a few crazy fans the only reason the fans dont ever shut the fuck up is because most people who insult anime don't really know what they are talking about.

  • Quality? They are completely 2 different types of animation and aim at different audiences, so you cant really compare the quality there. American cartoon aim at young audiences whereas anime are made for a range of audiences from middle aged man to little children. Also take consideration for gender, and cultural aim as well

  • fritz the cat was the ish dude! that was one of the most hardcore animated movies ive seen! john krifalusi was an awesome animator and don bluth as well. good video i agree with you!

  • besides if cartoons here were so much better then audiences and the industry would reflect that. cartoons today are so bad, even kids dont watch them. if our western animation is so "superior" then why directors here having a lot of our comic series animated in anime form in the east? if western animation was so superior why couldnt we just animate our own shit?

  • anime has lower framerates because it is the format that supports japanese television vs american televisions have higher framerates. frame rates has nothing to do with quality. who gives a damn if anime has cheap budget tricks so far as animating, if they can animate something like neon genisis evangelion or full metal alchemist and it can still look clean with good animation then that really says something about quality..

  • @Terrakinetic nicely said!

  • good video! I agree with you! animation here in america has gotton really mediocre in the past 10 years. its just a sad sight....

  • now so far as old school cartoons in the 90s, anime will never top all those cartoons EVER! but so far as cartoons today in the past 10 years? anime ftw. anime has higher quality animation, from coloring, to background art, to the stories and different styles, and storyline. lol they screwed ren and stimpy up the ass yeah they did! i loved that show its was a work of art. but animation here in america has really gotton mediocre in the past 10 years. long live the 90s cartoons.

  • i understand youre point of view clearly and from all the videos around u are the most sane of them. but what i dont understand is why do ppl compare anime whit cartoons? cartoons are based on entertainment and comedy while anime is more related to a plot.i gotta give u that invader zim was awesome and about manga there are some good mangas out there check out vinland saga , berserk , gantz and some more i dont remember

  • @bacalaitoxxx

    Dunno.

    Both are in the same animation category.

  • In my opinion I'm going to say anime. People say that the animation is better than anime's, but surely it's the show itself that matters? I for one like animated things better than live action, and most of America's aren't for my age. Anime has all age groups and they have great variety, romance, action, and just about everything else. They also have a great style for doing people, Ichigo for example looks a lot more badass than any American show char I've seen. I find them a lot more emotional.

  • Ugh I love my country but it fucking sucks in terms of animated shows compared to Japan xP.

  • @oOKdLuvsOo

    What are you talking about :(

    Ours is animated better.

  • @oOKdLuvsOo

    Yup

  • @FerretTheFuzzles Nope. Anime will always be the best :)

  • @oOKdLuvsOo

    Anime will always have low framerates and cheap budget tricks of animating.

  • @FerretTheFuzzles Lol you must have watched a pretty suckish anime

  • @FerretTheFuzzles Even excluding the actual animation most animes have a way better plot than most american cartoons

  • @oOKdLuvsOo

    Story > animation is never a good trade off.

    It's not "anime",it's a manga flip-book.

  • @FerretTheFuzzles lol what the hell 'manga flip book'

  • You do realize that anime is based on american animation right?

    Ozamu Tesuka who started all based his drawing on Diney´s, the reason why anime characters has big and expresive eyes is because Disney did it first.

    And you shouldnt jus compare animations, take note that anime in japan takes the place of movies, tv series, cartoons, meaning most of their fiction is animated.

    In short, comparison is impossible, just grab and enjoy as much as you can.

  • american all the way. Look at samurai jack and the original clone wars series. I'm sorry but when it comes to animation, disney beats all with its hands tied behind its back.

  • cartoons are only for kids anime have shit for every one not just kids evern the kid animes have better storys then most american rated R movies in american movie we see the same movie made over and over again but i anime that try new shit and new storys and to thats why animes are better then american cartoon and some time american movies

  • @SouljahJNasty

    animes are quantity > quality bro.

  • @SouljahJNasty u do know that Cartoons have Family GUy, South Park, Robot Chicken, and Futurerama for Adults and teens right.

  • Amico, devi trovare qualche modo per tenere sveglia l'attenzione della gente... magari cambiare tono, aggiungere qualche immagine NON EPILETTICA o mettere una musichetta di sottofondo.

    E' meglio esprimere le proprie idee senza essere fastidiosi e/o noiosi.

  • anime is unrealistic fake and overall hard to look at. american realistic looks more and more like live action.

  • @bostonbakedbeans28 have u seen all the animes????

  • I try to both call them cartoons, but you can't judge it on any goddamn level. They both have GENRES. Although, most of American cartoons are comedies. But I digress. I like anime, hell Cowboy Bebop might be the greatest anime story ever told. But, I also LOVE King of the Hill, The Boondocks, and the Simpsons.

  • anime has better quality than american animation??? are you smoking crack? lmao

  • Actually, The art in Anime is better than in American cartoons... BUT... Anime has choppy frame by frame looking animation, American animation is smoother. So really its in a way, a tie. Dont say Americans are lazy, because Japanese are somewhat lazy too for not taking the time to animate the art better because its so complex. Americans are lazy to not make the art better... so its even.

  • @Wulvenn

    American art isn't even "lazy." You can find good art in "serious" American cartoons like Boondocks, newer X-men, and Marvel/DC animations/movies.

    Many American cartoons are SUPPOSED to look silly because comedy shows are supposed to have the viewer laughing simply from looking at the character.

    ALSO, most "AMERICAN" cartoons are actually animated in ASIA. That's correct. Even Ed, Edd and Eddy was animated in Korea. Comedy shows INTENTIONALLY look the way they do.
