_____ Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Ah, the long fought fued is here. Which do you prefer, Anime or Cartoons (a.k.a. American Animation and Japanese Animation)? I like both equally. I'm no cosplayer who loves one side so much better than the other (If you are someone like this, no offense intended).

The Envoy of the Beginning Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Tough to choose...Anime is arguably superior to cartoons, but many of the 80s/90s cartoons are too good to forget about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Knight Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 One has more like a story line one is just random junk both are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Japanese all the way. They actually have stories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serene Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 This is good. There are good examples on both side. With Avitar and Code Lyoko being good American choices. And Bleach, Death Note, and others good Japanese choices. I'll decide later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Japanese Animation, because I happen to like it more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_____ Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share Posted September 12, 2008 Japanese all the way. They actually have stories. But a lot of the stories are way too long and/or not used well. Plus, English voice acting is more tolerable than any of the shit that 4Kids touches. This is good. There are good examples on both side. With Avitar and Code Lyoko being good American choices. And Bleach, Death Note, and others good Japanese choices.I'll decide later Ew. I didn't like that show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehab Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Western actually has good animation sometimes. Innocuous response. Both have good stuff, but animation that doesn't suck is more common among cartoons than anime, which I think is much more important as far as the medium goes.

And 4Kids doesn't do everything, companies like Funimation and VizMedia do a lot and do it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masu Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 well nowdays most american cartoons are complete garbage about absolutely nothing. Anime it is for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And 4Kids doesn't do everything, companies like Funimation and VizMedia do a lot and do it right. I didn't say they had to be short. I said they were too long. Having 50 episodes on the same battle in Dragonball Z was meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I can agree, the first season can be a real turn off and some of it was outright repetative. But I'm the person who will watch something I liked from start to finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 (edited) This is good. There are good examples on both side. With Avitar and Code Lyoko being good American choices. And Bleach, Death Note, and others good Japanese choices.I'll decide later you know what the saddest part is? Avatar is heavily anime-influenced, and Code Lyoko isn't even american. true American animations are like looney tunes, disney, hanna barbera, etc. and those horrible ones that are in air right now i like them both equally in terms of style to me. but nowadays there is nothing new on air from america but those dumb cartoons made to brainwash little kids.

Serene Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 you know what the saddest part is? Avatar has an anime style of animation, and Code Lyoko isn't even american.true American animations are like looney tunes, disney, hanna barbera, etc. and those horrible ones that are in air right now i like them both equally in terms of style to me. but nowadays there is nothing new on air from america but those dumb cartoons made to brainwash little kids. Yeah Code Lyoko was made by a french company right. I think it was French. But from the main site. Which I saw about three months ago. Was in English, French and German. But anyways. That sways my vote. Since those two can't be counted as American animation Jap wins. Because the rest of american animation is complete and utter shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 So...you happened to like them? the older ones yes. they happen to be some of my favorite cartoons made in the US. but as i've said, i love anime too. i really don't have a prefered type. it all depends on the show whether i like it or not!

Smashy B Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 American, I'm not into anime all that much. But if it was for video games, then Japanese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehab Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 The actual "animation" part of the question is pretty much undeniably better in the better American stuff, just to nitpick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
