Anyone else sick of hearing that when you ask for a serious cartoon to watch?
I've actually taken that advice multiple times, and no matter where I look, I never find a show that fulfills on that promise that anime is mature or intelligent.
At this point I don't even know where that idea came from. There's no way in which, say, Devilman Crybaby is more mature than Regular Show, unless you're reatrded enough to think blood and titties count for anything.

I think the biggest turn off for most westerners are the jap tropes/themes and weird pacing that you see over and over. i like the comics more cuz I can narrorate as fast as I want, I cant stand watching the shows because im so used to the fast pace. its just how they came to write shit over the years
Regular Show is shit
Have you seen what modern cartoons look like now?
Shut the fuck up and watch Kaiji
That's true to an extent. I've found out by watching/reading Bleach as a teen that japanese comics don't drag themselves out nearly as much, but they also have better-flowing dialogue and are devoid of retarded comic relief. Anime is trash, manga isn't.
would be a lie.
Finished it for ya'.
>I never find a show that fulfills on that promise that anime is mature or intelligent.
Well stop watching shonen.
Looks like the usual obnoxious trash. Pass.
I have. It doesn't get much better.
Yeah bro tell me how your stoner show with noodle limb bean mouth animals yelling OHHHHHHHHHH, playing video games and having the same exact episodic format is good and mature.
That goes for moe too.
Actual retard, you don't deserve good cartoons
Anime is a big turn off because it hide it's true immature behavior and tendencies with gore, blood, lots and lots of cursing, and throwing a titty on the screen mixed with nonsensical philosophical rants and speeches about the human condition that sound like they were written for a high school english class
They're just as, if not more immature and childish as western cartoons for all the things previously mentioned and what they constantly throw at the tv screen.
At least with the censorship of what we here in the states can show it forces us to be slightly more clever with our jokes instead of just being so blatant that it becomes a turn off
Western cartoons are probably more mature then most anime when we can be for these exact reasons alone
If you're still feeling like anime is worth it then try watching some of their movies instead. That's where the real talent is
What have you watched?
try out ghost in the shell, kaiji, haibane renmei, march comes in like a lion, Ping Pong, welcome to the nhk, one outs, beck, golden kamuy, Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu e, dororo.
I have a feeling mature/serious don't exist outside little projects is because it's very hard to market since usually serious material just goes into comics/movies/books.
People think edgy, blood and tits=mature. Do you want mature cartoons? Have you ever watched Waltz with bashir or the breadwinner?
You should probably stop watching the Narutos, dragonballs and one pieces and go for things more like Lain, Ghost in the Shell, Psycho Pass season 1 you know, more seinen stuff.
OP: This. The fact that you even mentioned Devilman in the same sentence as 'mature' gives me serious doubts that you have watched anything beyond entry level available stuff aimed at teenagers. Devilman is notoriously edgy hack stuff.
What have you seen, and just as importantly when you say you want something 'mature' what question do you think you are asking?
animation is primarily there to give you surreal entertainment that is only possible in 2d.
I don't get people who primarily want serious straight cartoons, just watch live action drama
I have watched Ghost in the shell and besides that last scene it's kinda shit. Pseudointelectual rant is obnoxious.
I also forgot to mention Akagi. The have some eps on youtube, most videos of it are low quality since it's pretty underground next to Kaiji.
youtube.com
So basically you just hate everything.
Serious, mature, and intelligent are all separate things. They shouldn't be conflated to be the same idea.
Cartoons can be serious, but immature and unintelligent.
Or mature, but light hearted and dumb.
Or smart, but immature and silly.
And so on.
Anime is the only thing in animation with mature themes without retard levels of "wubadubdub" humor. Only problem is 90% percent of anime is characters explaining what you already saw happen to pad everything out and save money on animation.
I read this in Benson's voice
Idk user, thinking something is pseudo intellectual in itself is pseudo intellectual. What did you watch the movie? or the anime?
You just seem like you should stop watching cartoons and just read a book if you're going to be obnoxious about it.
most anime are very "easy" and very straight forward, almost robotic entertainment
>repeating tropes
>slow pacing with an occasional color explosion
>in your face exposition
>characters announcing or overexpressing their emotions
>unhuman character motives, often lead by rationalism to the bone
>dialogue all over the place, but still unfun, humor is kept to a minimum, especially fun banter
It's no wonder autistic people like it so much.
Not complaning tho. Japs can do great stuff regarding animation, the thing is, most of them save animation effort for the important scenes, so 9/10 of the animation is bland and boring while the rest is actually watchable.
>assuming I only watch shonen
>assuming everything I mentioned about anime is only contained in shonen
This shit is widespread my fellow dude
Implying cartoons don't copy paste tropes and deal with them with zero creativity.
If you're expecting 10/10 animation while having 10/10 writing, 10/10 seriousness then you're asking for way to much for a medium that relies on marketing and sales.
That still doesnt change the fact of the matter
never impiled they dont do that, but at least they can be fun at surface level at times and be enjoyable when drunk
anime cant
Off the top of my head; Baki, Devilman Crybaby, death note and code geass.
I also saw akira, spirited away and princess mononoke. The first 2 were passable, the last one was a retarded self-insert fanfiction posing as a movie. Genuine trash.
And yet japs still have more technical skill then the west, since all the west does is storyboarding than actual animating.
10/10 would cherrypick again
>fun
how many cartoons have you actually even watched? You just seem like you only watched a handful of cartoons and anime.
>This shit is widespread
Yeah.
In shonen.
I thought you said they looked the same.
There arent that many good cartoons right now, but most anime doesnt appeal to me either. Isekai is fucking dumb and SoL is boring
There are exceptions but I've found manga to be more enjoyable overall than either cartoons or anime
Why would anyone watch cartoons because writing? I watch cartoons because I like animation.
>10/10 writing is onboxious and retarded ranting and explanations
Bitch, read a fucking book.
>"duh how do I win game"
>"well you see actually you have to 4D chess and blablabla 10 episodes exposition"
>"wow this dude totally got me but I'll bullshit my way out of this even harder lmao just give me 5 more episodes"
yawn
You obviously have zero clue what you're talking about if you don't even understand the concept of "writing" in cartoons and animation.
You can continue to be the flaming faggot that you are and pretend that only anime tropes exist within shonen but that is not gonna stop you from being wrong
You haven't watched it, you're just Yea Forums cross baiting at this point.
>Fart jokes.
>Hamfisted identity politics.
>Random gore.
>Quotes or references from some older film or something mainstream.
>One-sided morals.
>Meta "humor" to make up for lack of actual humor.
>Deadpan "humor" to sound smarter than it is.
>More "mature".
Sorry, bub. Anime may have its downsides, but i'd rather have that then what cartoons serve us.
>like 1000 samples
>cherrypicked
simply epic
Anime is boring
Okay. In that case I can understand your appraisal of anime, since most of what counts as 'mature' on that list is just transitional fare. Which is to say: the sort of shows someone watches when they are too old for power rangers, but don't have the depth of knowledge and experience needed for mature storytelling. Attack on Titan level stuff, which blows a 14 year olds mind but seems pretty lackluster to an adult that has seen this sort of stuff before.
I would say give a try to either Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (a show rather than the movie, as while the movie is beautiful its a bit high-concept and can come off as pretentious. GitS:SAC and Psycho Pass S1 are both effectively crime dramas in different kinds of cyberpunk futures).
The meme answers for 'intelligent' shows are Seriel Experiments Lain and Neon Genesis Evangelion, but while there is a lot to those shows a big part of them is that they don't explain themselves and create a lot of ambiguity, which fans conflate with intelligence because anything that hard to understand = smart. NGE is worth a watch at some point, but mostly because of how culturally significant it is than for any kind of maturity chasing.
For a more down to earth story, maybe try The Heroic Tale of Arslan. Its basically about the surviving member of a royal family in not-the-crusades trying to gather up his father's scattered army and retake the capital. Pretty good stuff.
If you want something that will make you think, maybe try Re:Creators. Its basically The Last Action Hero, the anime, with a bunch of different characters from anime and video games being pulled into the 'real' world, and having to come to grasp with the fact that their entire existence is a lie based on the entertainment of idiot gods. It does a lot with why we tell the stories we do, and a bunch of other stuff that you might not appreciate as much if you are not yourself a writer.
yea because cartoons abusing tweening is any better.
>Titty joke
>Hamfisted rant about the human condition
No fuck you anime does Random Gore too eat shit
>random quote from some philosopher to sound smarter
Too mention one-sided morals I should also mention how every anime that does these rants shits on humans super fucking hard and gives no elbow room to defend humanity
Alright so you mentioned meta humor and deadpan humor and those are way better then whatever the fuck anime is doing where they literally explain the fucking joke to the audience
Get the fuck out of here, anime has shitty writing and humor all the same to western cartoons
This is literally the whole show though.
>tfw not a pleb when it comes to both Yea Forums and Yea Forums
Feels so fuckin good
It's not, give me a general thesis or run down of the entire series to prove you're not just baiting. Because I'm positive you're baiting and don't plan to take any advice or recommendations.
How about following the advice if everyone keeps telling you the same thing?
At least anime is able to immerse in itself. Something cartoons haven't done in years.
Reminder that anyone who says “anime is ________” doesn’t know shit about anime. Same for cartoons for that matter.
they never implied it was, holy shit
maybe it's just good reaction image material
Better than having 5 frames a second with samefaces lmao
>tfw you ARE a total pleb when it comes to Yea Forums and Yea Forums
Not sure how to feel about it to be honest.
Self awareness is better than all the taste in the world.
This is why I can't watch this shit. It's so samey. On top of that the artstyle gets all weirdly sexual for no reason and makes me feel uncomfortable watching. I'd rather watch all of Family Guy five times than ever watch an anime just because of how stupid and fanservicey anime is.
Your last argument/defense for anime is that it's more immerse in what it does and I don't know what the fuck that means my guy
You mean as in it doesn't take itself seriously or it's embraced the genre or whatever show it is?
Because a show like Craig of the Creek embraces that it's a show about childhood and Hilda embraces the fact it's a show about a girl who used to go on fantasy adventures trying to live the life of a city girl and adjust accordingly
TMNT does full out with that that's all about, ninja turtles fighting mutants Mao Mao being a show about someone trying to be a hero
kys
What a nice thing to say. Thank you user.
What are you talking about? Anime is very serious and mature. Watching big titties bounce and girls underskirts makes me feel so manly. Only gentlemen with acquired tastes can so enlightened.
Both cartoons and anime have legitimately mature entries, you just have to actually do research instead of listening to the animation equivalent of DUDE GAME OF THRONES STAR WARS MCU SO GOOOOOOOD.
That's literally every cartoon though, try screen shotting cartoons and they'll keep the same expression.
Frankly, while I understand the point of OP trying to find stuff thats 'mature', I associate that with teenagers trying to prove their superiority of taste or justify their watching of anime to their parents or friends because they are feeling defensive.
Just watch what you want to watch, and who gives a damn if its 'mature' or not. If you are not living with your parents anymore, who gives a shit what you watch so long as you are having fun watching it?
Symphogear is a dumb, trash show with hype as fuck sequences and catchy music, and I enjoy the hell out of it. Thats all I need it to be. Its not like I am being graded on this shit.
I don't even ask for serious cartoons and I get told this all the time. I don't have anything against anime, but cartoons just appeal to my sensibilities more.
>hurr durr wurr le cartoon bad le anime bad cherrypick cherrypick wblblblblblblblblb country i don't like bad
You can make literally anything sound like shit, people just don't want to admit it.
So, What's the concept of writing in cartoons?
Probably because it's more relate since it doesn't have to localize all references and writing, and it feels more familiar since the areas are usually in our realm of comfort.
You are 100% correct. You should strive to search for what makes you happy, not what meets a set of arbitrary criteria for the perception of others.
Honestly most of the cartoons I like are influenced by anime, and most of the anime I like is influenced by cartoons. I crave this weird sweetspot that isnt really attampted often and is executed well even less often
>look
>some people pointing, people facing the camera, people with swirls in their eyes (instead of seeing stars or some western cliche)
>let me speed it up into a color-collage of seizure
I watch cartoons because I like stuff out my confort zone, user.
Will obnoxious fucks like you ever be quiet? We get it you think Yea Forums is better than Yea Forums. Can we get a conversation that's better than two pretentious morons trying to convince everybody that the other is a pretentious moron?
Just watch anime, homo.
Alright little billy, do you see those names in the credits? Those funny little letters contain the names of something called, writers! Cartoons need these "writers" to write and organize plots, story, and everything else! It's their job to keep things consistent, and to write very intriguing stories! Every cartoon needs their own special group of writers! They work alongside another cool wicked group of storyboarders who work with them to correlate said scripts! They work together to make really cool BOOM BOOM POW stories to keep you excited! When they're done fighting together, they send it to a Korean sweatshop so the Asians do all the work!
There is just more anime. If you have a niche desire, you’re much more likely to find it in anime.
>no matter where I look, I never find a show that fulfills on that promise that anime is mature or intelligent.
That's a failure on your part, though perhaps it's not really your fault since most people know hardly any anime and their idea of mature is blood and guts.
Serial Experiments Lain, Texhnolyze, Haibane Renmei, Tatami Galaxy, Ping Pong, Kaiba, Gangutsuou, Monster, Mushishi, Evangelion, Mononoke (not the Ghibli movie), Legend of Galactic Heroes, Kino's Journey (2003), Kemonozume, Welcome to the NHK, Usagi Drop, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Paranoia Agent, Shirobako, Sakura Quest, 91 Days, Maria Watches Over Us, Bloom Into You, Sound! Euphonium... the list really does go on.
This. How many cartoons come out that Yea Forums talks about in a year? Like, 3-5? Maybe? Most of the time we are still talking about shows that have been off the air for years, because there still hasn't been a show as good as Avatar or the like.
Anime, meanwhile, tends to drop 20-30 new shows every 3 months or so. Thats not even counting continuations of longer running shows that are getting new seasons, thats JUST new shows that are going to air for 12-25 episodes and then probably be over and done with.
There is just so much anime content coming out these days that even if you hate 95% of it, that remaining 5% is still easily more to watch than western animation was going to offer you this year.
He’s not worth it user. He’s one of those that simply don’t want anime to be good.
>it’s not Richard Williams so it’s animated like shit
>all anime looks the same
>mysterious bar of quality nothing matches
>unironically lists Devilman Crybaby as a representation of anime
This couldn't be less true.
>Anime is a big turn off because it hide it's true immature behavior and tendencies with gore, blood, lots and lots of cursing, and throwing a titty on the screen mixed with nonsensical philosophical rants and speeches about the human condition that sound like they were written for a high school english class
This is just a confused amalgamation of some 80s/90s OVAs and movies. You obviously have very little to no actual knowledge of anime.
>most anime are very "easy" and very straight forward
According to people who don't watch it, or only watch battle shounen.
This video has been refuted so many times. Why do you keep posting it?
>Isekai is fucking dumb and SoL is boring
These are memes by people who don't watch anime. There's a couple of isekai and SoL anime per season.
That's not what anime is like.
>Anime is very serious and mature. Watching big titties bounce and girls underskirts makes me feel so manly.
Meme.
Maybe people should learn to accept that they don't have to have an opinion on everything. I for example don't have an opinion on Polish film, because I've probably never seen any Polish films.
Threads like this just show Yea Forums is filled with kids and teenagers. Imagine watching animation and thinking about its "maturity".
you're here too user.
>haven’t seen polish films
Watch Seksmisja
>This is just a confused amalgamation of some 80s/90s OVAs and movies. You obviously have very little to no actual knowledge of anime.
fuck off, majority of the "super serious anime" shit has a ton of this shit.
Don't look to the past to prove that anime is good now and back then was shit you also look to the past to prove anime was always good
>This. How many cartoons come out that Yea Forums talks about in a year? Like, 3-5? Maybe? Most of the time we are still talking about shows that have been off the air for years, because there still hasn't been a show as good as Avatar or the like.
This is because Yea Forums doesn't go out of it's way to find good quality stuff and just eats up whatever the USA bakes
There's probably some real fine works not just in France but around europe but you'd never know it here because Yea Forums likes to talk about their childhood cartoons and mainstream movies rather then anything else
Thank you. Very few shows in any category will ever be mature in nature and calling fucking TV, let alone cartoons, mature is dumb as fuck.
Just make your own serious adult show. you cherrypicking ass.
Adult swim literally waiting for your pitch.
Imagine thinking that America alone gets to decide what animation is and isn't.
>fuck off, majority of the "super serious anime" shit has a ton of this shit.
TV anime really doesn't have much graphic violence, and the Japanese language doesn't really have swearing.
>Don't look to the past to prove that anime is good now
Where was I doing anything like that?
Post reccs or BTFO.
Even counting british, french, german, Canadian and soviet animation, Japan just makes more.
Hey, user, what do you think about autism?
What does autism have to do with the topic?
Geez, user, I know this is a shitty bait thread, but come on, that's retarded even for Yea Forums's standarts.
Anime defenders, name an anime that is more "mature" than Moral Orel.
The problem with anime is that there are topics that are simply not allowed to be touched in Japanese society. Same goes for Western society as well (for example anime where MC lusts after his little sister wouldn't be made in the west), but subverting western taboos makes for a relatively shallow entertainment, while Japanese taboos forbid for really heavy and mature stories being made.
Yea Forums makes me really happy with these replies
Proud of you all
Why the fuck people refers to america when they said "western"? Did you know that France is also a western country and it's nothing like murica in term of toons.
See for a partial list that includes only TV shows.
>while Japanese taboos forbid for really heavy and mature stories being made.
What makes you think that the only way to tell serious and mature stories is to subvert society's taboos (and what taboos are you even talking about)? What you actually seem to be talking about is just left-wing political subversion masquerading as serious and mature storytelling.
You're wasting your time. Weebs are genuinely mentally ill.
Weebs are autistic.
Now do one of all the scooby doo clone characters, and cal arts shit.
Still posting that video is what's mentally ill here.
>The list goes on
>LOL THEY ARE MATURE BECUZ I SAID SO
Cringe
>"DUDE only gore and tits were in old 80's OVAs!
fuck off and stay fuck off
>There's only one person who post that idiotic edit on these threads
That's autism, user.
What are you expecting me to do, write a detailed synopsis and review of all of them?
What are you talking about?
It's very likely the same person, and in any case the video has been debunked several times already.
>Evangelion
Just mentioning that toon, invalidates your whole list, my lovely autistic friend.
It doesn't, and the fact that you have to immediately resort to the autism card invalidates your entire position. It's an automatic admission of defeat.
The HB clones have been well criticized
Calarts have similar designs but are distinct enough to use different poses and be separable in style so that you can know which cartoon is which. Anime is almost impossible to
>It doesn't
>LOL BECUZ I SAID SO
So, I would ask again? Why is fucking evangelion """mature"""? My lovely autismo friend.
please die
>Anime is almost impossible to
It's not. The problem is on your end.
>LOL BECUZ I SAID SO
And Evangelion's presence on my list invalidates the list because... you said so?
>My lovely autismo friend.
You have admitted defeat.
The problem is autism, you do have it.
Also I'd like to add, calarts is a common think for like five years, while "le disgusting overdetailed eyes and lack of other facial features" has been there in anime for decades.
Modern jap shit is not different from the crap that I watched in 2010.
>A few characters doing the same pose means that all anime is the same
>Believing this shitty ass cherrypick.
Yea Forums is full of braindead retards.
Nobody on this site has been able to prove this claim. You just keep going on and on about this because you have no arguments and are unable to defeat me.

The absolute state of Yea Forums
I remember when I watched parazyte. First episode, there's an scene when the protag run into the main girls and he touched her breast accidentally. That was supposed to be a joke, I almost rage quited it.
Funny enough, besides some edgy monologue about human nature, it's pretty decent, the rest is free of this kind of retarded jokes.
I had to laugh when he was running out of "deep" shows and had to list freaking Hibike Euphonium which is a typical teen romcom with a bunch of filters thrown on to make it look "well animated". You'd think he would go for Violet Evergarden instead.
You're ignoring "almost" as you always do Yea Forumsnon
A select few are notable enough to distinguish
>the same character model but with different hair colors
WTF Japan???????
But their faces look nothing alike.
So, the DCAU?
I always find funny that japs uses european phenotypes when they draw male characters.
It's like their race is not a good reference.
They do look alike.
>A shit ton
Some of those were from the same anime. You guys aren't even trying.
The irony of saying this on Yea Forums
I'm still surprised not a single person actually listed any cartoons, just baseless comebacks.
>Whoosh
The only ones who aren't trying is those who make Japanese """animation"""
Prune time. This thread is a black hole.
I mean exactly what I just said I mean.
That video has been debunked. Let it go.
OP didn't say "deep," he said "mature or intelligent." You haven't even seen Euphonium (romcom? Really?).
Those characters are supposed to be white.
It's the best animation in the world.
whether it's east or west, it all looks like shit
Oh, and as for the animation of Euphonium (which you did not watch):
sakugabooru.com
youtube.com
>I mean exactly what I just said I mean.
Nobody understands you, user, maybe you are just autistic.
It was an extremely simple thing I said. You are just revealing your own stupidity.
Hey, autismo, if japanimation is the best animation of the world why do you even lurk Yea Forums? Why don't you stay on anime related boards?
Serious question, no bating.
>autismo
You are automatically conceding defeat.
Are you unironically Famicom
No, and you clearly have no idea who that is.
Honestly, does anyone here actually enjoy watching cartoons or anime?
>no you're autistic
user, if you can't admit that everyone, including yourself is autistic, then you don't belong on this site.
There are people that think they aren't autistic
Yes
I fucking love it
Just don't like the brigaders from the other board shitting up the place is all
Source?
Yes to both.
isekai and le ebin slice of life normiebait characters all look the same
Thats why I only watch obscure mecha anime like a chad
You know, I was in the same predicament as you are until I came to the simple realization that there is far more bad or mediocre animation than good, anime or cartoon. Not that it's a problem, it's just kind of a fact of life when animation becomes so easily produced that companies with the money and manpower can put out new shows yearly.
White Snake
Anything from Ralph bakshi
>a select few
You mean some of the most popular and common? I feel like you're just shitposting at this point. How is 'am I kawaii' any different from CalARTs shit?
Probably because he's an entry level watcher.
STOP WATCHING AMERICAN TV
GO TO ANIMATED SHORTS
WATCH A RELATIVELY OBSCURE FOREIGN MOVIE
ANYTHING BEYOND MAINSTREAM AMERICAN TV
GO TO FRANCE OR BRITAIN OR SOME SHIT, FUCk
I have not enjoyed a single anime that was recommended to me. You ask me, anime is trash.
all anime is softcore porn
Famicon is the faggot obsessed over TMS who sperg over tny toons and animaniacs, this is Autismo, the autism denier weeb who shows up in every thread that makes a comparison between japanese and murican animation.
>watch
>anime
Manga is infinitely more enjoyable.
I would love to enjoy comics, but it's either a small series that updates once in forever (looking at you, Snotgirl and Bellybuttons) or a shitshow of reruns, events and Bendis, where you can't read anything without 100500 references to other stuff and authors switching constantly.
Maybe i should just get and read some Sandman.
>animation is trash.
Fixed
Pretty much, but I prefer french-murican cartoons and indie internet animations.
Because withmanga you can read as fast as you want and skip those recap bullshit dialogue, while in animated stuff you have to eat several dialogue episodes before something actually well animated.
Maybe your head is just in the gutter all the time.
Death Note seems to be well-liked by people who don't normally watch anime.
>read Terraformars
>start as decent space horror
>becomes a mix of Evangelion and your average shounen
>monologues are a pain to read
>do not know if the brainlet is me, author or translator
Most characters of isekai are desgined by the same artist and most slice of life character are made by the same ones of the mobage they promote.
Stop
Watched this while listening to Daft Punk's "Around the World" and it fit so fucking well
There's your first problem, you watched that shitty anime adaption of Parasyte.
Read the manga if you want a more dramatic, gorey, horror scifi manga. Seriously that anime did NOT do the manga justice. And "modernizing" the art style made me wanna vomit. The story and characters are way better in the manga and I really couldn't stop reading it because I couldn't see how the series would end.
Parasyte is the ideal series to introduce people to seinen manga imo.
It's short, not too far-out, and has some damn fine storytelling.
The only person in that picture who isn't supposed to be white is the guy on the bottom left.
The Ghost In The Shell is more mature than the majority of Western cartoons... and anime.
t. John K
Japanese animation is what Hollywood wants Western animation to become: dime-a-dozen slice-of-life "comedies" and fantasy light enough to power a perpetual motion device, cranked out in a single month in numbers rivaling what we currently make in a year, for an audience that largely doesn't exist in its country of origin, all shat out on Blu-rays selling in the triple (or, if you're really good, quadruple) digits.
Puts all of those "inspired by every anime [sic] that's cool to like" quotes from Western "creators" in a new perspective, don't it?
West and East has the same problem. But Jap willingly to put more money on this stuff, while America doesn't. The reason I like cartoon more than Jap made goods is that it is not just all girls doing cute thing XD and easy to enjoy it. And serious thing tend to draw an autistic realism criticism of "why X doesn't work like in real life." Criticizing cartoon because of realism is like critic Gmod vids physic.
>Japanese animation is what Hollywood wants Western animation to become
There's absolutely no proof of this and you're puling shit out of your ass now.
:>dime-a-dozen slice-of-life "comedies" and fantasy light enough to power a perpetual motion device
There are more genres than just "slice of life", "comedy" or "fantasy". Watch more anime.
>for an audience that largely doesn't exist in its country of origin
Anime was originaly made for just Japanese people, but they realized that people outside of the country also like it.
>Puts all of those "inspired by every anime [sic] that's cool to like" quotes from Western "creators" in a new perspective, don't it?

People bash anime all of the time. You know, cause HOW DARE people take inspiration from the things that they like! They should only pander to ME and MY INTERESTS!
Kill yourself faggot.
Daily reminder that complaining about anime isn't Yea Forums related and thread like these should be reported to oblivion.
It's, You can see the pattern of western cartoon is changing to japanese type more and more each year. Anime and Cartoon is just animation products, there are diffrent degree to all of them, it's just that most Jap aim at Teeneger while American aim at E-rating. But I would say no to anime because I don't like Jap animation style. There are more genre than that but Jap industry forcus on those right now. It's easy money.
