Street Sharks was the bomb. Asphalt eating killer sharks with human bodies.
And I like anime...but its not better than american cartoons. Most Japanophiles would disagree, but I just always liked American cartoons.

Blasphemer. When the day comes, you'll recognize Furi Kuri for the genius that it is. Cowboy Bebop, Neon Genesis: Evangelion, Serial Expieriments: Lain, Berserk, Furi Kuri, Trigun, Excel Saga v. The PJs, Street Sharks, Rugrats, horrible Ren and Stimpy, Stripperrella, Dilbert, the disappointingly bad Clerks. This should be obvious. Compare Akira or Spirited Away to any crap that Disney or Dreamworks has put out. I wonder which'll win.

homerjay, would you kindly hold up a kettle for a moment?
Anime. Some Normal American cartoons are unfit for your eyes. Some American's will agree with me on this.

It's all the same crap to me.
It's just that one is more pretentious and tripped out than the other.

They all have their moments. American animation, Bugs Bunney, Cartoon Network (Hey, it's all good), things like that, while Anime, has...Um... Yes. I'm not a fan, because it's too extreme for me, and the characters look all the same (In my opinion.). I'm not judging by Dragonball Z crap, either, I know that's not true anime. I'm thinking of Trigun, Sailormoon, Cowboy Bepop...Stuff like that. American animation is just as voilent, but it's cartoon violence, which always beats anime's realistic voilence.

Originally posted by newhook_1: I'm judgeing it by Robotech Robotech is a great show. I still love it to this day. It was so much different than the shows that were on around that time like Transformers, G.I. Joe. I really took to it. To be fair, you're shortchanging yourself if you're using it as your reference for the whole of anime. Robotech is an edited and Americanized combination of three different Japanese shows to make it long enough for the typical tv season in America at that time. I have SDF Macross, the Japanese series that the 1st section of Robotech was adapted from. The differences between the two aren't drastic, but they're there. At most you could say Robotech is a small look at the "mecha" type of anime. I wouldn't take it any further. On topic: I won't vote because I like them both.

Well, both have lots of shows that suck (IMHO), but I'm not suididal so I'm not naming any.
Some of the crossovers as seen in the Animatrix were good, others were bad.

This should be obvious.
Hamtaro, Yu-Gi-Oh, Beyblade, Medabots, horrible Pilot Candidate vs. Futurama, Gargoyles, Batman: TAS, the VERY underrated ExoSquad, Reboot, S1-9 of The Simpsons, Aqua Teen Hunger Force... see, I can play "Stack the Deck" too.

I will go with non-anime but I still think that it rocks big time.

Wait a minute ... are you bad-mouthin' "Dilbert"? Nix, sick him! Granted, it didn't live up to the strip, but lumping it in with "Rugrats", and the like is a capital offense. The top-5 on my cartoon-hitlist are all non-anime (Futurama, Simpsons, Darkwing Duck, Dilbert and The Critic), so I'll go with #2.

Yeah, but all the "anime" you picked is geared towards children and was made only for merchandising. All the American cartoons you picked are adult-oriented (aside from Reboot, which wasn't that good anyway). Upon watching it again, I've realized that "Duckman" has not aged well at all. It always seemed much funnier in my memory. And Dilbert is weak and ugly to look at. It stings my eyes. And FLCL kicks Aqua Teen's lame, "we're-going-to-use-the-same-drippy,poorly-drawn-monster"'s ass in outrageous non sequiters.
