How come cartoons in the US are all like that, though? Do they just have more money to put towards that stuff?

I wish every anime had the budget of a small country's GDP too but that doesn't happen, for obvious reasons. Though even with a high budget these days you can't do shit with it considering how trash animation training seems to be that people can't even be bothered to animate cars or house fans without using CGI.

Yes
Jace Edwards
Yeah, CGI ain't all that great.
Mason Brooks
Most anime have shoestring budgets, though

cartoons in US are done with flash which allows the FPS to be higher
Tyler Murphy
Most use simple enough characters that fluid inbetweens can be automatically created with software like in adobe flash (obviously more advanced, for example with toon boom studio etc.)

How come theatrical shorts were never a part of the industry in nipland?

Animators are truly fucking entitled sons of bitches.

Is flash the mustard race animation program?

They were though. Don't know if they still are. There's tons of ~30 minute films released in theatres. Kino no Tabi got 2 of them in the mid 00s, I've seen people recently complaining that Doremi never got any feature length movies and they were all ~30 minutes, and I've seen that plenty others exist which I haven't actually seen. Maybe 30 minutes is too long for your idea of a short though, I don't know. There was one collection of 3 15 minute long shorts released last year that I saw someone mention on here once called Modest Heroes.
I live in the US and I've never really seen shorts in theatres other than as things to be shown before full movies in some instances. I know they used to be bigger in the past. With Looney Tunes and such. Unless you're seeing several in a row it seems like a waste of time and money to go to the movie theatre to watch something 10-30 minutes long.

The US gets first pick at korean animators.

Akira is a byproduct of the economic boom Japan had in the 80s though, same thing with Ghost in the Shell and OVAs of the time. Time went on and money got spent, user, now there's not a lot to go around, so budget, and by consequence, animation, goes down as well. Simple as that. Want another influx of 80s-like anime? Either boost Japan's economy or... well, shit, I dunno. Establish socialism, I guess? I heard soviets had pretty good animation. Don't take my word for it, though.

simpler animation style

What you're referring to is a principle in animation called "Animating on 1, 2, and 3 frames". Basically animation looks smoother the more frames you have per second. Majority of anime is animated on 6's or 8's which leads to a choppy look, but that can be desirable for Japanese people who find it quaint and familiar due to their tradition of single image frame story-telling picture shows and paper puppetry.

It wasn't a boom, it was a real estate bubble. The 90s were considered a lost decade of wealth and productivity.
Dylan Cooper
TIL. Thanks for the correction, user.
Evan Jackson
Animating on 6s or 8s would mean 3-4 unique frames per second. Pretty sure that doesn't happen in parts that aren't stills.

Anime has traditionally had lower framerates, going back to Astro Boy.
